Wedding favors are a nice way to say thank you for the guests.
By making them yourself you can give a small piece of memory to those who came to the wedding.
Possibilities for homemade wedding favors are endless. You can make lovely gifts with a little creativity even if you don't have a lot of money.
The best way to save money is to create something new from old things. Before throwing out something, first think about it: maybe you can use it in a creative way. Here are a few examples of things which you can use to make wedding favors. Small boxes are very cute.
If you got jewelry and you kept the small boxes, now it's time to use them. You can put candies, a cookie, or gingerbread in the boxes. After you're done, tie them with a silk ribbon. You can also use spoons form this occasion, just dip them in melted chocolate and wait until the chocolate gets hard. This will be a lot of fun for you and for the guests as well!
If you want to give the guests something they can remember this day by for a long time, glue a photo of the couple on a heart shaped paper and put a little ribbon on the top. You can also write a few words or a little poem. If you don't feel up to writing one, there are a lot of them on the internet.
Making CD's with romantic songs that are going to be played on the wedding is another very good idea and also cheap. You can put the CDs in heart-shaped envelopes and write a thank you note on them. The guests can appreciate the CDs for a long time, they can listen to it any time they want and think about the wedding.
