 Wedding Favours : Homemade wedding favours

 Back to Wedding Favours

 

 

Homemade wedding favour can be anything from sleek and elegant to whimsical and playful. Making favours not only lends a very personal touch, it's usually less expensive than purchasing ready-made favours.

Deciding what to make

The first step is deciding what type of wedding favour you'd like to make. Favours for weddings generally fall into one of three categories: edible favours, keepsakes or decor and practical or useful favours.

Deciding which type of favour you'd like to give will most likely depend on you and your future spouse's personalities as well as the mood and season of the wedding and reception. An edible favour or personalized treat can be the perfect token of thanks for almost any wedding. A romantic wedding might be perfect for an elegant commemorative favour, while a practical favour might lend itself well to a casual wedding.

Looking through books, magazines, and Websites is a great start for deciding what type of favour will work with your wedding. Take a walk through a craft store. Jot down your ideas on what colours shapes, and designs in a favour would complement the wedding.

Floral & Plant Favour

1. Herbal favours - Like parsley, oregano, basil, and tarragon, gives this modern setting an organic feel; planted in sleek pots, the herbs double as inventive displays for a wraparound menu of foods that put the plants' virtues to good use.

2. Sweet pea seeds - Encourage loved ones to dig in -- literally. For cute place settings that will grow and grow on your guests, fill tiny packets with the seeds of your favourite flower, and stitch them onto simply printed seating cards; then watch the happiness blossom.

3. There's nothing more romantic than the rose -- it's a symbol of love and affection that has stood the test of time. Miniature rose bushes make for especially adorable favours that, once planted, will produce blooms for years to come.

4. Daffodil favours - Here, budding bulbs bought from a local nursery are nestled into sake cups beneath beds of rocks. To turn them into take-home favours, use a rubber stamp to imprint planting instructions onto wooden posts.

5. Small tin with seeds - These seed-filled tins make it possible for each of your guests to take home a pop-up garden, affixed labels to each one -- names and date on the front, and simple planting instructions on the back.

6. Matchbooks with seeds - Sure, matchbooks have become a go-to wedding favour, but there's more to these clever versions than meets the eye. Give away a surprising something to remember in the form of a cheery, charming pack of forget-me-not seeds. The best part: Long after the big day, guests will watch the dainty blossoms -- and the memories -- spring to life.

7. A bloom of one's own - Demure and delicate, African violets are pretty little packages and, with minimal effort, can make a dazzling display. Simply slip the potted plants into panettone molds, cluster on three-tiered plate stands or let stand solo, and tuck a handwritten note inside.
