There is nothing more touching than a handmade gift! Secondly, you will also find that you can save a ton of money in merchandise costs and shipping by doing it yourself. Lastly, you will be able to involve family and friends who may be eager to help you out in some way, which can create a fun activity for all involved.
Just think of how impressed your guests will be when they realize you handmade all of the items yourself!
Practical wedding party favors are often as clever as they are useful. Today many eco-friendly couples are making their own seed packets to inspire their guests to plant their own gardens; these seeds can be housed in boxes, packets, buckets, tulle, satin pouches, tiny bags or mini-pots.
At www.do-it-yourself-weddings.com, you can get instructions to make your own decorative soaps. Visit www.soapandcandlemolds.com for a wide selection of excellent molds that will make your soap (or candle) look more professional than ever! Other practical and unique wedding favors include mini decorated notepads, photo coasters, personalized candles, bookmarks, key-chains, potpourri and bath salts.
One of the most important facets of homemade wedding party favors is the presentation. No matter what you're making, you'll likely need some sort of wrapper or container for the favor itself, as well as decorative tags or ribbons.
Containers and boxes are best found at craft stores, dollar stores and discount marts. Look for jars, baskets, bags, dishes, candle holders, pots, mugs or water cans. If you have a quality printer, then you can print custom tags yourself with your names and wedding date or a meaningful quote.
If your printer isn't that great, Kinkos will be able to print an order for you.
