These days many brides are finding it difficult to stike the right balance between the wedding of their dreams and their monetary 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. Fasten the envelope with a personalized label with your names and wedding date. Place an envelope at each place setting or together in a wicker or wooden basket or tray – a perfect eco-friendly wedding favor for green weddings.
Idea #2: Car Air Freshener Wedding Favors
Your wedding guests will be in for a sweet-smelling surprise when they get into 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. Pull the drawstrings tight to secure the aromatic contents. Around the neck of the pouch, tie a personalized Bridal Hang Tag to thank your guest for their presence and to wish them a safe journey home. Request the valet driver to attach the air freshner to the back of the rearview mirror with a piece of adhesive tape. What an inspired and sensible 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. Alternatively, use colored cellophane to reflect a particular season or holiday. Bind each package with a personalized satin ribbon displaying your names and date of your wedding. Chocolate-brown is a good color ribbon to use because it will give a beautiful contrast against the green-colored pear. (AJG080109-AMA)
