10 Wedding Favor Ideas
by Rose Smith
1. Deck of Cards
- Have your photos imprinted on a plain deck of
cards.
2. Bookmarks
- Create bookmarks with a graphic at the top or use
your engagement picture. Type in a short poem and
add your wedding date. You can pick up plain
bookmarks at local craft stores and print them off
on a color printer.
3. Seashells
- Spend a day at the beach gathering interesting
seashells. Decorate each one with ribbon and dried
flowers.
4. Message in a Bottle
- Buy cheap bottles at a Dollar Store or craft
store. Fill part way with confetti. Create a small,
hand written scroll with a special message to your
guests. Roll up and place in the bottle.
5. Gourmet Coffee Packs
- Buy a special flavor of gourmet coffee. Place
enough in small plastic bags to make one pot of
coffee. Tie the end up with ribbon. Add a sprig of
flowers and a gift tag.
6. Fortune Cookies -
Buy fortune cookies at a local grocery store.
Carefully remove the message with tweezers, then
insert your own messages inside. Place 2 or 3
cookies on a circle of tulle and tie up with a
colorful ribbon.
7. Origami Figure
- Pick up a book on origami (Chinese paper folding)
at your local library and buy some beautiful origami
paper from a local craft store in your wedding
colors. Create a figure that reflects your wedding
theme and give one to each of your guests.
8. Liquors
- Purchase those
small bottles of sample liquors found near the
checkout of most liquor stores. Tie a ribbon and
message around the neck of the bottle.
9. Personalized Candy Bars
- Buy flat candy bars (like a plain Hershey's
chocolate bar). Measure the wrapper on the bar and
figure out where the section of the wrapper would be
on the top of the chocolate bar. On the computer,
create a design or special saying within the top
area. Type in your names and wedding date as well.
Print out the design and cut to fit if necessary and
wrap the bar in its new cover. Use a glue stick to
secure the ends along the back.
10. Tree Seedlings
- You can purchase small tree seedlings from your
local nursery. Tie a ribbon around the pot and
include a message that asks your guests to plant
their trees so they can grow, just as your love will
grow.
