Make Your Own Wedding Favors

A lot of money is going in to your big day, and you are worth every penny. However, there are probably some areas that you would like to spend more money on than others. For example, in order to get the dress you really want, maybe you have to cut down on the number of courses served during dinner. Or if those flower arrangements are more expensive than you expected, you may have less to pay the photographer. One of the easiest ways to save money on your wedding day is to make your own wedding favors. A little bit of energy and a lot of creativity can go a long way to creating a small memento or gift that your guests will enjoy.

Two classic types of wedding favors that you can make yourself are those you can eat and those you can plant. Edible wedding favors are always a hit and can be totally customized to fit with the colors and theme of your big day. Maybe you will make cupcakes with frosting that matches your bridesmaids. Or maybe you will roast almonds to go with your natural farm theme. Cookie cutters are another popular choice because they come in a million different shapes and sizes. Seeds are classic wedding favors and extremely cheap. You can even mix-and-match different seed packets or types and create your own little personalized packets. Guests will be pleased to watch this gift spring up.

Whatever you decide to do, your guests will be excited to share in your special day.
