DIY Wedding Favors
DIY Wedding Favors Are Back in StyleThere was a time when DIY wedding favors were considered a little "passé." You might choose to make them if you were on a really tight budget or you were trying to find ways to cut corners on the price of your big day. However, many people are choosing them again, not only because you can save an enormous amount of money, but also because they are fun to make and provide your guests with a true souvenir of the event.Are DIY Wedding Favors Cheap? If you are afraid of making your own DIY wedding favors because you think that people will think that you are being cheap, then think again. They will think that you are being creative and thoughtful instead, and that you are giving them a gift that you want them to keep. Something that is handmade is always cherished much more than something that is bought, no matter how much it costs. What Kinds of Favors Are There? Depending on the type of wedding that you are having and the number of guests that will be there, you should try to keep your wedding favors as simple to make as possible. Also, you may want to incorporate the making of your wedding favors with some other wedding event, such as a meeting of the bridesmaids, or when the families all come together before the wedding. Having more than just the couple get involved in the making of the DIY wedding favors is really fun because then everyone will have their own personal story to tell about when they made them. Many people choose to make small favor boxes that may contain a variety of items such as candy, soaps, confetti, or even a note. You can also buy small trinkets that remind people of the couple that will fit right into any small box or bag. How Elaborate Should These Be? Remember that wedding favors are not a payment to these guests for coming; they are really more like a "thank you" to them for their attendance. In return for them coming to your wedding and blessing your union, you are providing them with a gift that will help them to remember the event for years to come. Some DIY wedding favors are consumable (i.e. they can be used or eaten right away), while others are keepsakes. Can They Be Bought? If you don't want to be super-creative and do something like make handmade candles or soap, then you can always buy small bags and boxes and fill them with small items that you buy. There is no hard and fast rule about what needs to go in these items, and you can be creative, funny, serious, or romantic. It is really all up to you. If you were to talk to your wedding consultant about wedding favors, they might tell you to set aside anywhere from $20 to $50 per guest, but in these times, that is ridiculous. You can make a beautiful gift for a small fraction of that amount. Add Personal Flair to Your Wedding With Do It Yourself Wedding Favors

Saving Money With DIY Wedding Centerpieces
Before you were engaged, you likely heard some nuptial horror stories about events that cost $30,000, $40,000, or far more than that. You may have thought that those celebrations were lavish affairs and that your own big day wouldn't come close to costing that much. Yet now that you are engaged and planning your own celebration, you are coming to realize just how quickly the costs can add up. The good news is that you can save some money on your “must have” expenses by including DIY wedding centerpieces in your reception décor.
Working With Kits. If you are not a very artsy sort of person and have never had a special talent for crafts, you may want to consider purchasing one of the DIY wedding centerpieces kits that are available. You can generally find a wider selection of these kits online at various websites. Some give you the basics and then let you add your own creative touches yourself, finding different pieces at the fabric store, the arts and crafts store, and so forth. Others offer you a truly turn-key product. With a little time and effort on your part, you can create your own beautiful pieces to adorn tabletops with these kits.
Making Your Plan. On the other hand, if you do have a special talent for arts and crafts and are otherwise a creative person, you may just want to create your own DIY wedding centerpieces all on your own. This gives you complete control over the cost of your tabletop décor because you can choose how large or small the pieces will be, what decorative accents will go on them, and so forth. This all starts with devising a beautiful plan. You can sit down with a pencil and paper, and keep your computer nearby so you can keep a tally on the cost of various accent pieces as you devise your plan.
Finding Great Ideas. It seems that every wedding has its own unique tabletop pieces, and as you plan your own DIY wedding centerpieces, you may find that there are different elements that you will want to choose from. Some include a fire and water element by placing floating, votive candles on top of a mirrored piece. Others will create floral bouquets with more affordable silk flowers. Still others will include feathers as part of their décor. When you make your own pieces, you will find that you can truly control every aspect of the look of your tables, from ribbons, beads, and decorative stones to bejeweled or stained glass containers, and so much more.
Tying It All Together. One of the key things to keep in mind as you create your DIY wedding centerpieces is that they should have a cohesive look that ties together the overall look of your reception. They will certainly be a focal point for your reception, so you will want to spend a lot of time creating the perfect look. It can take some time to do, but with time and effort, you can save a considerable amount of money on your tabletop décor. Message or Question
