Do it yourself wedding favors can not only be very rewarding but they can save you lots of money. Money, that can be used for other things that you wanted but didnâEUR(TM)t think that you could afford. We all know that planning a wedding takes a lot of time and adding making your own favors on top of that may seem like a lot but there are many favors that will not take a lot of time and still save you money and give you the personal touch that you crave from DIY wedding favors.
Candles:
Now I’m not saying you should go out and start making your own candles but buying candles and decorating them to match you theme is a great way to add a personal touch to your wedding. Adding sand and shells to the bottom of a candle holder is a great way to bring the beach indoors. Picking a candle that has a beachy smell to it is also another great way to bring the beach indoors. Package it all up in a nice organza bag and you are set.
Flip Flops:
This is a great favor especially if you are having your wedding on the beach. It gives people a chance to change into them and out of their dress shoes making them more relaxed and more comfortable. They can make an easy DIY favor. Purchase inexpensive flip flops at the store or online and embellish them with flowers for the women and bottle openers or toy footballs for them.
Candy:
Making chocolates is very easy and a great way to save money on favors. Purchase shell chocolate molds at your local craft shop and chocolate melts. Chocolate melts come in a variety of different colors so they can easily be matched to any color them that you have. Chocolates are also easily made to go with any taste if you prefer mint then you can add mint flavor or peanut butter. When the chocolates are all done package them in cute little miniature sand pails to add to the beach theme. For an added twist add vanilla cookie crumbs to the bottom of the pail to act like sand.
DYI favors can be fun and made to express your personality. They donâEUR(TM)t have to take a lot of time to do and the can be very inexpensive. The thought that goes into these favors will me more appreciated than any other favor that you will give.
