Wedding Favors on the Cheap: DIY Keepsake Ideas
1 | P a g e
So you’re still halfway on your wedding preparations but your expenses have already skyrocketed.
How can you possibly trim down on some of your expenses to make sure that you will still have
enough money for other essentials such as the cake, decorations and your Perth wedding
photography services?
One of the most effective ways to cut costs is to make your own wedding favors. In fact, it is a very
enjoyable venture, wherein you and your bridesmaids can take pleasure in. In the end, you can
create personalized and more meaningful keepsakes. Here are some DIY ideas that are fun and easy
to make:
Soaps
You need to prepare the following: soap chips, coloring, fragrance or essential oils and a molder.
You can get recipes and instructions from DIY books and sites if you want to start from scratch.
However, if you want an easier option, you can just go to a local craft store and purchase pre-made
soap kits. To give the soaps a more personal touch, you can add dried flowers or use a color that
will suit your theme. And to make it more appealing, wrap the soaps in pretty papers and ribbons
and tie a “thank you” tag around it.
Potted Plants
Nowadays, being “green” is all the rage, so why not go with the trend by giving potted plants as an
eco-friendly give-away? Each visitor can take home an individual plant, either your favorite herb or
flower, which you can buy in bulk at a cheaper price. Then give it some personal touch by adding
bows or stick some love quotes on the pot for a more romantic vibe.
CD
You can make a playlist of love songs that you and your spouse-to-be like. There are millions of
songs that you can download from the Internet so this wedding favor isn’t that hard to create. When
the CD’s are ready, you can place them in cases and on the cover, place a photo from your wedding
photos to make it more memorable. Every time your guests listen to the songs, surely, they will
remember you!
Cake pops
Edible wedding favors are also in vogue these days and cake pops are just a hit. If you’re not
familiar with them, well, they’re cake balls that are put together through frosting and then dipped in
another coating of icing or melted chocolate. Just find a recipe for these goodies and package them
according to your preference—place them on a stick and cover with cellophane and tie them with
ribbons or you can place them in cute boxes.
Now, with your DIY wedding favors, you can definitely reduce some of your wedding expenses and
be able to spend on more important elements of the wedding such as your Perth wedding
photographers who will cover the most unforgettable event in your lifetime.
