Homemade Favors for Weddings

Homemade favors for weddings are a delightful way of allowing your guests to have a treasured keepsake of your most special day.

Homemade wedding guest favors don't have to be expensive or take too much of the bride's available free time, they only have to be tasteful (or tasty), thoughtful, and a true memento of the special couple's special day.

The best option is always something with a sentiment that the wedding guests will recognize as being specific to the couple being married.

Here are inexpensive, quick and unique ideas:

• Pictures in small tasteful frames, especially of the wedding couple.
• Winter weddings call for snow globes or a Christmas ornament.
• Small jars of a delicious salsa, jam or jelly
• Favors that are related to the couple's favorite hobbies are always a big hit with the guests, especially if they're useful as well. For example, a couple I know who are backpacking fanatics gave all their wedding guests backpack keyrings engraved with the couple's wedding date.
• Another idea is to offer several spoons filled with chocolate tied together: the guests can plop the spoons in their favorite hot drink.
• A CD or other recording of the couple's favorite music or music used at the wedding or reception.
• Personalized shot glasses for the partying couple: plain shot glasses can be converted by the couple with a few specialized paints or pens purchased at an art store.

Make a list of all of the couple's favorites and use the list to come up with an idea that will remind the guests of them. The ideas are almost endless: the limit is only as far as the couple can imagine!
