When attending a wedding, you'll likely remember lots of little moments from the day, like the vows that made you reach for the tissues. The second piece of cake you couldn’t pass up. The scent of fresh floral bouquets wafting in the air.
The best way to recall the magic of a wedding is to send your guests home with something special…like DIY wedding favors! These ideas are perfect for any type of affair, whether you're at a chic hall or a rustic barn wedding venue (or on the ranch like Alex Drummond!). Instead of opting for something expected like Jordan almonds, why not go the unique route and make a favor that your guests will actually use long after the wedding is over? Plus, many of these ideas double as DIY wedding centerpiece ideas, so it might save you some prep time.
Think: DIY coasters, jars of honey, lavender soap, wall art, or even vase alternatives like vintage bowls that they can display just about anywhere. A homemade wedding favor just has an extra something that goes beyond any standard, expected favors, with a look and feel that’s sure to delight all your guests.
