Do it Yourself Wedding Favors

Weddings can be very expensive. There are many small items and details that can add up to a large bill. Therefore, I feel that it is best to do anything yourself that you can.

Many couples decide to offer small favor gifts at their wedding. It seems to have become a tradition to offer small types of thank-yous at birthday parties and celebrations. Instead of paying someone big bucks to make wedding favors for you, try making them yourself. These wedding favors can be made well in advance. They can be very cute and very cheap. All you need is a good idea. In this article, I will offer some ideas that I have seen or created for making your own wedding favors. They are all very simple and can be made without a lot of cost.

This idea is very simple.

Using your computer print off the following saying to attach to each favor.

Decide how many favors you will need. Cut a square piece of net for each favor. Place a hug and a kiss in the middle of each square. Pull the sides up around the candy. Tie at the top with the ribbon. Leave enough ribbon to attach the card.
