Traditionally, favors are given to wedding guests as a sign of appreciation for their coming to the wedding. It is a good idea to send them home with a little something because many times, they have driven or flown from other parts of the country to see the couple.
Do it yourself
You may want to consider creating your own wedding favors if you are on a budget or if you have a crafty side. Even if you’re not domestically inspired, these are really very easy.
First, you will need an idea. For this example, we will be describing how to make little sachets. The great part about these instructions is that you can adapt them to include any sort of filling (chocolates, candles, etc.) into the bag.
You can find great prices on craft items at your local craft store, but online is always a good resource too. You can save money in the end because many times, you can actually buy in bulk when you’re online. Determine how many small bags that you need and what color you would like them to be. Something to realize: if you’re getting bags of a finer material, the picture on the Internet will look darker than it is in real life.
Also online or at your local health food store, you can go and buy herbs and flowers by the ounce. Realize too that one ounce is A LOT when the item is dried. This is the reason why it’s best to go to a store in person for your ingredients and lavender, dried roses, and other flowers are best. By doing this, you can see and smell off of the things that you have chosen. Find something fragrant.
You won’t need as much if you have smaller bags but the larger the bag, the more filling you need.
It’s quite easy to do
Mixing up your ingredients and putting some into each bag is all you really have to do. In order for you to tie them up to look pretty, many bags will even have drawstring closures.
You can include a small card about the significance of the herbs that you included if you’re inspired and there may even be an old wive’s tale about weddings that is related.
And like it was said before, you can always change the ingredients to be something that suits you. If you have a lot of time to make, you should enlist the help of the bridal party.
