Do It Yourself Wedding Favors

What everyone is aware of is the fact that a wedding is a costly event to organize

. Gone are the days where the parents of the bride paid for the day in full. For those actually getting married, it is now common to contribute to the costs and many people feel that they do not wish to begin their married lives in debt, courtesy of the wedding itself.

Reducing the costs at a wedding is actually quite possible with a few simple ways and you don't have to compromise tradition, taste, and quality. The making of your own wedding favors is actually one of the easiest things to do at a lower price. These can be expensive if bought for all of your guests and making your own allows you to reduce this cost significantly. The fact that they are handmade makes them more special for your guests to receive and it also gives you the opportunity to personalize them to your color themes.

The first thing to do is to decide what to put in your favors. For most people, they prefer to use potpourri or even confectionery in them. When you have decided on this, gathering all of the materials that you will be needing is essential. At the table is the best place to make these because there, you have sufficient room to lay everything out but have it close to hand when you need it.

Deciding on a color for your favors is a must. Either this is a color that can match the decor of the room where they will be displayed or it can be a color that is found in your bouquet or bridesmaid dresses. Then select an accent color to compliment this. For example, should you decide on yellow as your main color you may choose purple to compliment it.

Pre-cut wedding favor wraps are among the things you need to purchase. These items can cost you as little as $10 for 50. Then you simply place an amount of the filling in the centre, gather the wrap around it and tie the top with a small length of ribbon. The easiest way to do them quickly is to take your time making the first one and add or remove the filling until the amount is perfect. Then try different lengths of ribbon until you have the one you like best. Once you have one favor which is exactly how you want it, dismantle it again. Try keeping the parts together and using them as a guide for all the others. You can cut multiple pieces of ribbon and to ensure that it is the length you require, you can use the length of the completed favor.

It make seem like an additional burden to make your own favors and planning a wedding can also be stressful. But if you want to lower the costs, then this is a great way to do so. You can even gather your bridesmaids round, open a bottle of wine or two, and soon they will all be made in no time.
