Five Tips For DIY Wedding Favours

Are you thinking about creating your own DIY wedding favour? I hope these five tips for DIY wedding favours are helpful.

How lovely would it be to have some bespoke wedding favours, that you have lovingly made, or perhaps you could get someone else to do that for you, while you concentrate on finding that dress, booking a band for the reception or work on your wedding vows.

Wedding favours are so popular, over the years they have turned into something really creative and hugely personalised. I want to share some of the ideas that I have seen and some that I have created for my clients.

Wedding Favour Notes//

Wedding favours don’t have to be complicated.

They can be really personal

They can be unusual

They can be easy to create.

They can make your guest feel so special.

They can be within your budget

They can be small but meaningful

Have you been to a wedding where the favours stood out and why?

Five Tips For DIY Wedding Favours

Also please do see the video in this post.

1. Burlap bags can be filled with so many things:

Personal messages/poems to each guest

Crystals – signifying love, hope etc

A tiny gift

Coffee beans

Chocolate

You can decorate them with anything

2. Seeds Grow Some Love

Seeds are a lovely thing to use as a favour

Put them in a burlap bag or a mini envelope, you could add a short verse, print out onto abrown card and personalise each card by adding each guest’s name.

Children could have sunflowers to plant

3. Sweets

Most people love a sweet treat

You could make it really personal by putting a carefully chosen sweet in a mini, pretty, named envelope, with a note saying why you have chosen that sweet for each guest.

Duplicates are fine.

Buy in bulk to get the best value.

It’s a sweet way to impress your guests and you could really experiment with the packaging.

4. Something Handwritten

There are few things more personal than a handwritten note.

Write each guest a little note, with a little gift.

There are so many ways that you can use adapt this:

A note with a felt love heart

A note with a homemade biscuit

A note with a mini soap

A note with a suncream ( Great for weddings abroad)

A note with a secondhand book

A note with a mini candle

5. Scratch Card

A little note with a scratch card placed inside a lovely mini brown envelope, with some string tied around or a gorgeous wax seal stamp to make it look extra special and special to open.

It is a fun thing to do and who knows someone might win and be able to pay for your wedding or honeymoon!

Ok, maybe a round of drinks 🙂

Be Creative

I hope you found my ‘Five Tips For DIY Wedding Favor Ideas’ useful.

Bespoke candles are increasingly popular at the moment as wedding favours and Paula O’Grady from Osme Candles https://www.osmecandles.co.uk and her team specialize in personalised wedding candles, with your wedding colours and a gorgeous bespoke fragrance. This is another unique and special way to create that extra personalised gift for your wedding guests.

I hope you find some of these ideas on the video useful and something to think about, for some DIY ideas, or you could always commission me to write some bespoke poetry for each guest or just one meaningful poem, individually named, to all of your day guests. https://www.mybeautifulpen.uk/

My advice is to be creative and do what is right for you, pocket and time-wise etc and if you plan early on, you will be surprised how much you can do on a low budget, ask friends for materials if you need them, people love to help.

The rustic card that I create, is placed on the table with the poem, some tiny flowers in the corner and beautifully sealed with a wax seal.

It’s so lovely to have these extra bespoke touches on your most special day.
