Unique Homemade Wedding Favours
One great idea for wedding favours, that we tried out for my elder
sister's wedding, was of personalized sweets and treats. All the
grown up men at the party were served with excellent cigars, the
women were presented with rose flavoured chocolates and the kids were
given an entire table of sweets, cookies and chocolates. Except for
the cigars, all the chocolates and cookies were homemade. Homemade
soap goes down well as a homemade wedding favour idea, if you have
any prior knowledge about homemade soap making. Making soaps is not
very difficult, as you can use the melt and pour method to make the
soap. Different scents and colours can also be used to personalize
the wedding soaps.
Below is a list of some of the other, popular homemade wedding
favour ideas:
- Decorative and Sweet Smelling Candles:
This can be a great option. The guests can even light their candles, as the darkness begins to set in. It is also very convenient as candle making is easy.
- Coasters: Coasters can be easily made and decorated at home. They make long lasting and keepsake kind of
favours.
- A Simple Bunch of Flowers:
One of the easiest homemade wedding
favour idea, is making a small bunch of flowers. It is very economical and also very easy to prepare. To add a personalised effect, one can have different
colour roses, like light pink for all the pretty, young ladies, white for the gents and red for the people in love (just married or have started serious courting). One can also offer yellow one for all the senior citizens and a deep pink to the couples who are engaged.
- Personalized Compact Disc:
One of the favours that has come in vogue, is making a CD of both, the groom and bride photographs, and small video clips. This can serve as a long lasting piece of memorabilia.
Another trait that is becoming very common, is adding small tags, sometimes personalized to the gift. Adding the tag is also a very nice way of saying thank you to all the guests.
