At Aloha Bridal Connections we are huge fans of Do-It-Yourself. Favors are one of the first things that come to mind when planning DIY projects for your wedding. Having DIY favors let you create something within your budget for any type of wedding. They are a crafty, sincere way to show your guests how much you appreciate and care that they joined you on your special day.

Favors are unique to each bride and groom and should reflect your personalities, wedding theme as well as be something your guests will actually want and use. Here are a few cool DIY wedding favor ideas we think you will enjoy:

An easy DIY idea is filling jars with… well pretty much anything. Try candy, granola, coffee beans, jam, honey, tea, the possibilities are endless. Mason jars work great here but any cool jars you can find are good. Decorate the jars with ribbons or monograms of your initials so guests can save the jars as a memento from your wedding.

Another easy DIY favor idea is giving your guests the gift of a plant, flowers, seeds or herbs. You can decorate small pots or plant packages to match your wedding theme. These favors can also double as centerpieces or escort tags with table numbers on them. They will add decoration to your reception as well as be a great take home gift for your guests.

If you just want to add a DIY aspect to your favors try making or decorating your own gift bags. You can personalize them with guests or your own names. They don’t have to be made from scratch but even dressing up a store bought bag will give your favors a personal touch. Reusable bags are also a cool idea so guests can always remember your special day.

These are a few other DIY wedding ideas. Try personalized wine bottle stickers, making kitchen magnets, candleholders, decorative coffee or teacups or stones.
