Continue the Tradition of Brides and Grooms Providing Small Wedding Gifts to Wedding Guests
Homemade wedding favors come from a centuries old tradition of brides and
grooms providing small gifts to wedding guests. The tradition of creating
homemade weddings favors has continued as a means for the bride to reduce
expenses on the wedding budget. Although today, many quality items can be mass
produced for a relatively low cost, brides prefer to create homemade favors as a
means of self expression. Homemade favors allow her opportunities for unique
gift giving and personalization that can't be found in retail
store.
Homemade wedding favors can be labor extensive or have a sense of
simple sophistication. Time, talent and imagination are the only limits for the
creation of wedding favors. Craft stores offer an extensive variety of materials
from which to create a memorable item. Simple glass bud vases and candles can be
adorned with paint or glass gems. Something as simple as adding a photo of the
couple, to a simple picture frame makes an excellent favor that will outlast the
wedding day.
Home computers, desktop publishing software and quality
papers make it easy to duplicate products that have only been available from
professional printers in the past. Poetry can be added to beautiful backgrounds
for unique bookmarks or framed works. Decorative placecards with the guests name
in an beautiful script can later serve to replace a boring name placard on their
work desk. Software to edit music and video recordings allow for the production
of private CD's and DVD's.
Baked goods continue to make excellent wedding
favors. Cookie cutters are manufactured in every imaginable shape allowing the
bride to present distinctive, frosted and personalized delights. Miniature
cakes, petits fours and even chocolates can be recreated in the home kitchen.
Plastic molds for forming chocolate and other candies make it easy to produce
delicacies that are representative of wedding themes. A fun twist on a common
molded candy is to prepare it on a stick to create a lollipop from hard candies
or chocolates.
Homemade wedding favors will continue to be a favorite for
the bride and her guests. The opportunity to produce an item that genuinely
expresses the heartfelt sentiments of the couple, will never go out of
style.
CD: Giving personal thank you cd’s is the new trend in
wedding favors. You can record a personal message, add a photo of the bride and
groom along with a song choice
Magnets: Have you heard that the refrigerator is the
communication center of almost every house? So how about making magnets as
favors, so that your guests can put their magnets on their refrigerators and use
them to hold up drawings and the like, and every now and then see the magnet and
think about you.
