I am always on the hunt for creative favors! Most brides want a cute favor their guests will enjoy but don’t want to bust the budget in order to give them something nice. One of the best ways to give an inexpensive favor is to make it yourself. You can make a unique favor at a fraction of the cost. Like in years past, one of the most popular favors guests receive are edible. Why not combine the two ideas and make a tasty homemade treat as your wedding favor that won’t break the bank? I have listed five edible DIY favors that I think your guests will love.
Donuts make a yummy gift for your guests and will be a big favor trend in 2013! If you decide to buy donuts it can get quite expensive so making them on your own is a great option. For an easier way to cook the donuts look at buying donut trays to fill the batter and bake them instead of frying them. Just add some icing and sprinkles to finish the look. Or make donut holes and just sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Another great DIY favor idea is to make your own jam or jelly. Just put them in mini mason jars with some material and twine for a finished look. You can also make a cute label, tag or sign to let guests know they are homemade!
If you have a family recipe you want to share with your guests you can give them a cute recipe card and also include a jar of homemade tomato sauce or BBQ sauce to go with the recipe.
Infused sugar is another easy and beautiful choice for a wedding favor. Choose different fruits or herbs to put inside the sugar and after time the sugar will taste like the fruit or herb.
Do you have a favorite drink? Mix together your favorite lemonade, sweet tea or other “spiked” drink your have made to share with your guests!
I hope these ideas have helped you think of your own DIY edible favor for your wedding.
