Customized Wedding Favors: Nosegays, Flower Seeds and Other Ideas

Every wedding reflects the bride and groom's personalities. They choose a theme, colors, flowers and venue to suit their tastes and plan a day full of festivities to share with family and friends. Since every wedding is unique, why purchase ready-made favors that are boring and just like everyone else's? Make your own unique wedding favors that your guests will remember.

Unique and Customized Wedding Favors: Miniature Nosegays

Purchase thin ribbon that compliments the colors you have chosen for your wedding. Visit your local florist or craft store and pick out dried baby's breath and stems of miniature roses or flowers that are similar in color or style to the bridal parties' bouquets and boutonnières. Assemble a few sprigs of baby's breath with the miniature floral stems and tie with ribbon. If you want to be truly unique, consider purchasing personalized ribbon with the bride and groom's names and the date of the wedding.

Unique and Customized Wedding Favors: Personalized Candies

Visit www.mymms.com and personalize your very own M & M's. You can even buy a favor kit to assemble your personalized candies in mini goblets for your guests. If you love Dove chocolates, you can personalize the inside of the foil wrappers to thank your guests for joining you on your special day.

Unique and Customized Wedding Favors: Make your own Treats

If you or your spouse-to-be are handy in the kitchen, consider making special treats for your guests. Maybe the two of you met at a bake sale where you were selling Grandma's super-secret molasses cookies. If so, bake these cookies for your guests as a thank you. You could even include the story of how you two met and the recipe for your guests to try at home. Alternatively, you could assemble and layer the dry ingredients to your cookies in a Mason jar. Attach instructions for adding the wet ingredients and baking using a color-coordinated ribbon.

Unique and Customized Wedding Favors: Flower Seeds

Find a flower or plant that has special meaning to you and your partner like a bridal rose (happy love), China Rose (ever new beauty), or dandelion (faithfulness and happiness). Purchase seeds in bulk either over the internet or at your local florist, and find a unique way to package the seeds. Visit Alenka's Printables and customize and print your own seed packets on card stock, or create your own seed packets out of a pretty paper, customized film canister, or glassine packet. Include a favorite poem, thank you, or message for your guests.
