Ideas for Unique Homemade Wedding Favors

Wedding party favors and gifts have been a popular part of wedding reception for centuries, and there is no change in sight. There’s no wonder people are always trying to come up with unique homemade wedding favor ideas that haven’t been played out. After all, being different and really thrilling guests is an aspect of the wedding party that is fully understood by the bride and the groom.

There are plenty of options when it comes to homemade wedding favors that are unique, and some popular options are detailed below. Remember that the personal touch you choose to put on all of your homemade wedding favors is what will make it unique. These can be hand written initials that mean you made it yourself, or an attached picture that means something to the recipient.

“Take Home” Tea Parties

For the women of the wedding party, consider creating a take home tea party for each of them! You can easily purchase the necessities for the kit; miniature tea cups, inscribed with the bride and groom are wedding date, natural tea bags and cheese as well as crackers. Purchase small baskets, and you’re ready to make this wedding favor not only homemade, but definitely unique.

Before putting the gift baskets together, collect plenty of fallen leaves throughout your local parks and neighborhood. This may sound petty but the effect is essential.

Once the leaves are collected, go ahead and place a nice little bed in each basket that you’ll be using as a wedding favor. Place 2 small tea cups (can be found at party stores, toy stores, antique stores and even full service stores like Wal-Mart or Target) and a few bags of tea along with your choice of treat (like hard candies, brownies, fruits or veggies) into the basket.

Have thin ribbons found in the colors of your wedding reception theme inscribed with your names and wedding date. Use them to tie to the handle of the tea baskets, and you’ve created a unique, homemade wedding favor for each guest without having to spend a fortune.

Most importantly, the effect the ribbon and the goodies in the basket make for a unique, personalized feel in this homemade wedding favor. In order to make the wedding favors even more personalized, consider including small pictures of a friends and family in the basket. You can also sprinkle the basket with glitter, or include personal notes tied to the basket using the ribbon secured on the basket handle.
