Wedding Favor Creator
Heather Diodati
Wedding favors have always been a nice, personal gesture to include in your wedding preparations. Unfortunately, there are too many "cookie-cutter" type favors out there, which portray the couple’s lack of interest in providing something unique.
Here is a Wedding Favor Creator for you to use for your upcoming wedding or one that you’re planning for your best friend. You can mix and match to your heart’s content and according to the budget you have.
Small containers to use for candies, chocolates, small floating candles, decorative soaps, etc. (many of them can be purchased at your local dollar store)
- tiny wicker baskets or straw hats - egg cups - candle holders - flat shells (scallops) - small filigree metal boxes - decorated wooden boxes - coffee mugs - wine glasses - small decorative dish - tiny flower pots - little tin watering cans - small jars - ceramic spoon rest
Fillings to add to your favor containers
- heart-shaped candies or chocolates - Hershey’s kisses and hugs - small floating candles - gourmet or flavored coffee - enough for one pot - little decorative soaps - wild flower seed packets or small quantity of seeds with planting instructions, wrapped in colored cellophane - flower bulbs - bath oil beads - bath salts - small bag of mixed spice (cinnamon/nutmeg) and your favorite apple pie recipe - packets of specialty tea - hot chocolate and cinnamon mix - enough for one mug
Sample sayings and poems to write or print onto a small note card along with your names and wedding date (punch a hole in the card and attach a ribbon to tie to your favors)
- Please plant these to celebrate our growing love (for bulbs, seeds) - All things grow with love (for bulbs, seeds) - Our flame of love will always be bright (for candles) - Hugs and Kisses from the new Mr. And Mrs!
