Weddings are an exciting experience for every one involved. It’s a day centered on the bride and groom, a day spent celebrating a joyful event. What would a wedding be with out your guests? One of the best ways to show them you are thankful to have them as guests at your wedding is with wedding favors.
The tradition of giving favors has become an important part of the wedding celebration. Homemade wedding favors have become popular because they allow the bride and groom to give unique personalized favors to their guests. You can personalize the favors by making them yourself; this will show your guests the time you took to thank them for being a part of your wedding.
Making homemade wedding favors can be easy, inexpensive and fun. One way to create these favors is through the use of various containers and closures. You can use glass jars or bottles to package special items that may be a hobby or interest such as jams, jellies, extracts, candies, candles and more!
Candles are very popular and make great wedding favors. You make your own candles or buy ready-made votives and package them in glass jars or metal tins. You can decorate the tins or jars according to your wedding colors or wedding theme. Tulle, lace and tags are all great ways to decorate and personalize your candle favors.
A great way to show off your personality is with clear top tins! Fill them with anything from your favorite sweet treats to potpourri or flower seeds. These tins can be left as is or personalized with labels, ribbon and more. Fill twist top tins with anything from coffee beans and teas (great for the “perfect blend” couple) to dried fruits or fun chocolates.
A new trend in wedding favors is giving guests personalized CD’s. If you are a couple who enjoy music, consider a CD with your favorite songs, or song’s that reflex your personalities. You can also add photos to the CD’s to accompany the music with a special “thank you” message. You can use CD tins to package and personalize your CD favors. Again you can decorate these tins, with gems, lace, ribbons and thank you tags.
The tradition of giving wedding favors may be centuries old, though it is still very popular. Giving your wedding guests unique handmade wedding favors is a great way to let them know you appreciate them being there to share your special day.
There are many ways you can use containers and closures to prepare your personalized wedding favors. For more wedding favor ideas and images visit the SKS Wedding Favors Index, and the Wedding Favors Newsletter, as well visit the SKS Homepage for more bottles, jars and tins.
