Customized Wedding Favors
DIY party favors are a fun way to personalize your wedding gifts to your guests. When you don't have much of budget to purchase all the little details i.e. menus, programs, and favors for the guests so it very much became a DIY project where we had to create all of that on our own. At our wedding we maintained the look and consistency with our themed "The Key to my Heart" by printing on the vellum paper and embossed each tag with our customized logo. I attached it on the vintage key bottle openers that were paired with heart shaped jars filled with Ghirardelli Hot Chocolate Powder and Marshmallows. The Key signified Love, Communication, Respect, and Happiness which, ultimately, are the keys to a successful and happy marriage. Check out below step by step "how to" create a perfect wedding favors a jar full of goodie.
If you would like to creative you own favor, first, pick a themed that embodies both your personality and the overall looks of your wedding. Write down ideas that you would like to have as guests then narrow down your choices. Come up with ideas that your gift will likely use. Your guests don't necessary need to have all the same gift. You paired it up with different gift. We give half our guests a heart shaded bottle filled with hot chocolate and other half of our guest got a vintage Key bottle opener hints the themed "The Key to my Heart". My good friend gave her guests a love bird of salt and pepper and paired with DIY tree made of lollipop. Be creative that express both your personlity
Create a sample of your party favors to see how time it will to make it. Once you decide what type party gift you would like to give to your guests then budget yourself on how much funds you would like to use toward your gifts. Put a shopping list of items you would like to purchase and research on where you would purchase the items.
