Showcasing Your Talents

All brides have their own skills which they have honed over many years of dabbling with various jobs, hobbies and crafts. Why not showcase what you can do by creating your own wedding favors?

For example, if you’re a origami expert, consider performing some paper-folding wizardry to create some perfect paper cranes or flowers to impress your guests.

Get Your Bake On

Everybody knows that food is the way to most people’s hearts. Use this to your advantage and whip up a storm to blow your guests away. If you are having a seasonal or themed wedding, you could even decorate your baked goods with this in mind. For example, if you are having a gorgeous Christmas wedding then you could decorate cakes with festive designs, berries and confectionery.

Personalize Your Wedding Favy Gifts

Personalizing your wedding favy gifts is a great way to show your friends and family just how much you love them on your special day. It is really quick and easy to personalize your gifts, and a little effort goes a long way.

Labeling Your Wedding Favors

You can either print stickers to label your wedding favor gifts or you could even handwrite your own labels for that extra special touch. What’s more is that you can label almost any item imaginable and labels are very customizable – you can create unique designs for each person or use thematic designs to suit your wedding’s theme.
