Often we overlook the importance of hand-made items.
Making things with the human hands is becoming a lost art, but that is how we progress our minds.
Homemade wedding favors are a must at any wedding because they reflect how the bride and groom are feeling at this point in their lives.
Wedding favors are used to symbolize the couple's thanks and appreciation to their guests, in both traditional and modern weddings.
Who doesn't love a goodie bag of tasty treats? Add your own charm to bags of chocolates, Jordan almonds, hard candies, or mints by wrapping them in pretty fabric.
Choose a fabric and cut into many squares.
Make a small pile in the center with whatever candy you are using, and then tie the ends with a festive ribbon.
These wedding favors can add interest to your wedding reception tables.
Individual artworks make great homemade wedding favors and are simple to construct.
At most craft stores or any store with a scrap booking section, find scrap book paper with a fun pattern and cut shapes such as birds, hearts, or any other shape you can think of.
Choose a few sheets of solid color cardstock, and use adhesive squares to place the shapes on the solid background.
Giving miniature artworks to your guests is a great way to ensure they associate good memories with your wedding.
Using a computer, you can also make digital artwork designs and adhere them to cardstock squares or rectangles.
Perhaps you could even use a photograph of you and your new spouse as an image on the cardstock.
When looking for cardstock for your homemade artworks, be sure the paper is thick enough to withstand bending and folding they will undoubtedly suffer during the wedding reception and ride home.
Food never fails as a great homemade wedding favor.
Chocolate covered pretzels, brownie pops, wedding cake cookies, bride and groom cookies, dried fruit and nut mixes, homemade jams and jellies, and heart-shaped candies are all popular and practical choices for food wedding favors.
Place any of the listed treats in tiny bowls or jars for yummy wedding favors.
The popularity of CD making is on the rise as a new way to make wedding favors.
Make Cds of different genres, according to your family and friends' tastes.
Pile them in separate stacks on one of your wedding guests tables, and let them choose their own favor.
Music is a great gift to give.
If you are having a winter wedding, consider giving Christmas songs or if you want to them to hear your favorites, opt for making them all of your own selections.
Confetti, rice, and birdseed are always a hit for your guests.
Instead of waiting until they are home to enjoy their wedding favors, they can go ahead and throw any of these at the couple on their way to their honeymoon.
Great fun for them, and cheap for you.
Who doesn't love to have the chance to throw birdseed at people?
