Yummy Favors!

I believe one of the best ways to treat your guests to an amazing experience is by giving them a unique, creative favor that they can go home with.  There are many different types of creative and fun favors you can give your guests but my biggest advice is to make it personal to you and your fiancé.  If it is something you love and want to share it with your guests, it will make the favor all the more special.  You want your guests to enjoy the favor they take home and I promise anything yummy and edible will not be left behind!   Here are some of my favorite ideas!

Everyone is looking for cute favors they can make yourself, well why not use popcorn?  Just put popcorn in cellophane bags with a cute DIY tag in your wedding colors reading “Love is Popping up Everywhere” or even just a thank you note for coming.  Guests will love it, especially if guests know you love popcorn or play baseball or softball.

Cotton Candy Favors!  I know it isn’t a circus but who doesn’t like feeling like a kid every now and then.  Cotton Candy comes in a variety of colors and this sticky sweet treat is a perfect way to end a long night of dancing.

Another great DIY favor is S’mores!  I love this idea if you are getting married when it is a little chilly outside.  Just give them the tools to make their own s’more with a piece of chocolate, graham cracker and marshmallow.

If you make homemade preserves and jellies they are a perfect favor (especially in flavors they can’t buy all the time…Muscadine and guava to name a few).  Giving your guests something homemade is always a heartfelt “thank you for coming”.  Guests can enjoy this over the next few months and think about your fun wedding as they eat their Sunday breakfast! =)

Lastly,I love bottled favors guests can enjoy at a later time!  If you and your fiancé drink coke all the time why not pass out glass coke bottles or another favorite drink. Or a bottle of your favorite champagne or wine…if you can make your own that’s even better!

I hope these pictures and ideas inspire you to come up with your own creative and yummy favors for your guests. If you are giving a yummy favor idea not listed here I would love to hear about it!

The “Crafty” Bride

Whether your budget is $10,000 or $50,000 every bride is looking at ways they can stay within budget… no matter how big or small that budget may be. One of the Glendalough Manor brides getting married in October found a great website she shared with me where you can find elegant decorations for any event at reasonable prices.   You can buy glass vases, crystal curtains or trees, aisle runners, preserved flowers and much more!!

 

The best thing about this website is that if you are trying to cut costs you can create your own centerpieces or favors to cut labor costs associated with vendors.  Try this link and let us know what you think!
