If you have a lot of time and resources, you can make your wedding favors yourself. If not then make use of the wedding party! Have the bridesmaids and groomsmen help out with this. Depending on the favour, you could even have a DIY activity at your bridal shower.

Handmade Wedding Favor Ideas

Music CD. You can burn CDs with your wedding songs and the songs that will be played at your reception and put them in cute baskets on each table for your guest. Your guest will be able to actually use this instead of just storing it away in a keepsake box.

Picture frame. You can buy picture frames and have a picture of the bride and groom put in them. Set the pictures up around the table for each person. A great way to personalize this gift and use it as a place card is to use a photo that features the guest in the picture. This might take a while to get all the pictures together but you could use the photos from the engagement party- just be sure to assign lots of photographers and be diligent with your list of guests so you don’t miss anyone off!

Snowglobe Picture frame. A fun variation ont he picture frame idea is to use a snowglobe instead of a frame, this makes a particularly apt gift for a winter wedding.
