2 Cool Easy DIY Wedding Favors

Wedding favors are a pet peeve of mine.  I’ve attended hundreds of weddings and it pains me how often I see guests forget to take them home…or purposely leave without them because they don’t want them.  Favors the bride has taken so much time and effort to plan in exquisite detail.  WASTED.

In my opinion, favors are over-rated.  But if you DO decide to give them…for goodness’ sake, GO CHEAP.

DIY wedding favors can be an easy way to save.  The semi DIY favor above is super easy and pretty cheap.  You assemble the monogrammed chairs yourself and stuff them with goodies like chocolate or candy.  (*Hint - edible favors get taken home or consumed on the spot every time.)  Plus, these babies double as place cards…saving you more money.

YOUR COST: $9.60 for 12 = $108 for 100 DIY wedding favors / place cards.

If you’re slightly more crafty (but only slightly, these are super easy to make) try out these matchbook notepads from DesignSpongeOnline.com, a new spin on the monogrammed matchbook favor idea.

Supplies you’ll need:

• Cardstock
• An x-acto knife or cutter
• Stapler
• Rubber stamp kit

COST: For 100 guests = approximately $44.

You get to show off your craftiness, express your personality AND save money.  I encourage you to take the uniqueness to the next level by making your diy wedding favors say something about you…use your favorite candies, make it a tribute to your favorite hobby.  Literally put your “stamp” on it.
