Wedding Favors

When it comes to wedding favors,  it’s easy as a bride to overthink the perfect favor. She may even become overwhelmed with if their guest list is growing because in reality, it’s easy to consider skimping on costs in this arena. Favors, though, are a great way to add a personal touch so that your guests can walk away with a little something special from the evening. Of course these costs can add up as you think that you may want to do something unique, but keeping it simple here is the way to go! Your guests won’t neccessarily expect anything, but a simple token of appreciation can really make a sweet and lasting impression.

We’re flooding our Pinterest Board with lots of great ideas but here are a few of my favorites. Are you following Marrily!?

Mason Jar Jam or Honey. Perfect to beat the expense by picking the strawberries yourself and learning how to jam! (consider planning ahead for a late summer/fall wedding as you can start this process in the spring or early summer!) If you’ve never done any jamming, now’s the time to learn! While the process is a little bit tedious, it could make for a great Saturday with your beau and it will be rewarding knowing that you two actually DIY’d this tasty treat for your guests. Find some pretty fabrics and ribbon and tie the jars up with a pretty finishing touch! Picking out a cute name for the label is even a great way to incorporate your wedding logo if you have one!

Going Green: Miniture succulants or even tiny plants and/or herbs are adorable ways to have your guests walk away with something that will last. A cost effective route would be to create seed packets!

Last but not least, these are some neat ideas to consider as well!

No matter what you decide, plan ahead! These fun crafts may take a little time but keep things in perspective. Be realistic and attempt an easy DIY so you can take a little pride in knowing your adorable project will impress your guests!

Happy Planning!
