Memorable blooming wedding favors
One of the hottest trends this season is the Blooming Wedding Favor. These are wedding favors made of handmade paper impregnated with wildflower seeds. They are cut in romantic shapes like hearts, flowers, seashells, and doves. They can be tied with ribbons or decorated with netting. Your guests take them home, soak them in water, then plant them in a pot of soil, and within six weeks or so, your wedding guests should have a pot full of beautiful flowers to remind them of your wedding day and the love you shared with them that day.
You can make your own blooming wedding favors with some simple equipment such as a screen, a big bowl, and some felt. Just keep in mind that this can be a time consuming and messy process. It is far easier to buy them online, especially when they cost as little as $2 per favor. For just a few cents more, you can choose blooming wedding baskets. These favor boxes or favor bags can be filled with candies or a special remembrance of your wedding.
Giving the Gift of Candy
Candy has a long-standing tradition in wedding favors. Jordan almonds wrapped in tulle and ribbons were always a popular choice. Candy bars and chocolate kisses printed with a message to your guests are among the most popular of all contemporary wedding favors. Chocolate Hershey Kisses are an ideal wedding favor filler, especially when they are printed with your name and wedding date, or with your monogram. Candy is a very affordable wedding favor.
Other edible favors are just as friendly to your wallet, even if they are a bit more sophisticated in taste. Among the most memorable wedding favors, you can send home with your guests are jars of honey with a personalized label, or a personalized packet of gourmet coffee in Honeymoon Blend, or any one of about two dozen label motifs to fit your wedding theme and colors.
Save Money with DIY Wedding Favors
One of the best ways to save money and build a fellowship with your wedding party is to make your own wedding favors. You can buy the fixings for beautiful wedding favors and do the work of assembling them yourself at home, or invite your bridesmaids to an afternoon of snacks and ribbon tying. Whether you opt for a DIY favor kit that comes or order tulle circles and ribbon and do the rest yourself, you should have a great memorable afternoon. This is a great way to create beautiful wedding favors for your wedding day.
DIY Favor Ingredients
If you opt to create your wedding favors by yourself, you should find everything you need in a DIY section of your local wedding or craft store. You can also find these products online at a wedding supplier web site. Here are some suggestions of the pieces you can pick up to make your wedding favors special and completely personal.
Tulle Circles
Tulle is very fine netting that is often used to wrap candy and gifts, and then tied with ribbon. It makes pretty little pouf favors that turn a handful of wildflower seeds or a few candy mints into a wedding favor with a minimum of effort. They cost a few dollars for a hundred pre-cut circles in a specified diameter – which saves you the time and trouble of measuring and cutting the tulle yourself.
Personalized ribbons
Personalized ribbon in the color of your choice is the least expensive and simplest ways to give your DIY wedding favors a professional touch. It usually comes in rolls of 20 or so yards, printed with your name, and wedding details every six inches. You can use it to tie hangtags, wrap it around favor boxes, or tie up your tulle circles around M&Ms or Jordan almonds with your name ribbons.
Favor Boxes and Kits
One more professional looking favor accessory is a favor box to hold your candies or other little goodies. A favor box kit usually comes complete with box, cover, ribbon and a personalized hanging tag for the gift box.
There are many great options to consider when choosing memorable wedding favors. Several choices include, blooming favors, candy, and do-it-yourself wedding favors. These all allow you to add your own personal touch making it easy for your guests to remember your special day.
