Make Your Own Wedding Favors - The Do It Yourself Guide
Although wedding favors may not be the highlight of the wedding, they are a detail which requires some thought and planning and they can be especially memorable if the wedding hosts make their own wedding favors. Do it yourself ideas for wedding favors are generally plentiful so there are bound to be enough to suit your taste. The simplest DIY option is a wedding favor of flowers which will also decorate the reception at the same time. The preparation for flowers is almost non -existent other than deciding on what flowers to use which can be ordered reasonably close to the big day. A popular choice is a red rose and as a symbol of love which is very fitting at a reception. Placing the rose on the wedding reception table where the guests are seated is a nice touch and doesn't need to be done until the last minute. These days the favorite is using candy and almost three quarters of events will use this as an easy wedding favor which can be enhanced by using a presentation tin. Some people now use a more convenient way to present candy to their guests. All you require to make this successful is to use a large glass bowl and fill it with all your favorite candy for the guests to enjoy. Supplying each wedding guest with a small tin or other presentation container so they can fill it with whatever candy they wish. All you have to do is let each guest have the option to take whatever candy they like and you won't have anything more to do. To give your guests something they can keep why not leave a small picture frame on the table. Pictures frames are often used as wedding favors but people spend a great deal of time wrapping each one individually to create a beautiful presentation for the guests. By using the picture frames as placeholders provides a way around this, making it a gift that does not need to be wrapped. One of the homemade wedding favors that can really t appeal is to have the photographer take a digital picture of each guest and then present it to them at the wedding reception as they arrive. So to make sure each guest leaves with their photo, the photographer could take along a fast digital printer then they could be printed out whilst the guests are enjoying the reception. It is a nice gift and a wedding favor your guests will appreciate when they leave with a photo of how they looked on your wedding day. As a little extra you could ask the photographer if he could bring along a small projector and have a slide show during the reception when guest can see the photos he has taken. |
