In these lean economic times, many brides are finding it hard to balance their dream wedding and their financial resources. However, these brides won't have to settle for less with wedding favors . With a little imagination and sweat equity, brides can craft wedding favors that will showcase their personality and style while at the same time saving them money for other details of their wedding. Here are some wedding favor ideas:
Idea #1: Seeds Encased in Glassine Envelopes
These eco friendly wedding favors are inexpensive to make and an earth-friendly option that underscores the bridal couple's concern for the environment.
Materials: Glassine Envelopes, Flower/Plant Seeds, Personalized Wedding Stickers
Instructions: Fill each glassine envelope with a handful of seeds bought at your local supermarket. Seal the envelope with a decorative label printed with your names and wedding date. Lay an envelope at each place setting or all together in a wicker or wooden basket or tray - a great earth-friendly favor for green weddings.
Idea #2: Car Air Freshener Wedding Favors
Your wedding guests are sure to be in for a sweet aromatic surprise as they enter their cars after the reception. Wish your guests a safe journey home by having the valet hang your aromatic wedding favor from the car's rearview mirror!
Materials: Sheer Favor Drawstring Pouches, Bridal Hang Tag, Potpourri, Tape
Instructions: Fill a pouch with your favorite potpourri. Tug the drawstrings closed to assure the aromatic contents are safely secured. Around the neck of the pouch bind a personalized Bridal Hang Tag that conveys your appreciation of the guests' attendance at your wedding and also wishes them well on their drive home. Using a small piece of tape, have the valet driver dangle your homemade car air freshener from the back of the rearview mirror. What a creative and practical wedding favor idea!
Idea #3: A Perfect Pear Wedding Favor
Succulent pears make mouth-watering wedding favors! Either displayed in the center of a guest's table setting or as a batch in a large crate at a central table, pears are a festive nod to the holiday season!
Materials: Personalized Ribbons, Anjou Pears, Clear food wrap
Instructions: Wrap each pear with clear cellophane. You can also use colored cellophane to give a hint of the season or holiday in which your wedding will take place. Tie each package with a satin ribbon printed with your names and wedding date. Chocolate-brown is a great color to use as it stands out handsomely against the green colored pear. (AJG080109-AMA)
