DIY Wedding Favours You Can Make in a Weekend
DIY Wedding Favours You Can Make in a Weekend
Wedding favours are a small but meaningful way to thank your guests for sharing your special day. The best part? They don’t have to be expensive or complicated. With a little creativity and some weekend crafting, you can create memorable, personalised favours that will leave a lasting impression. Below are some DIY ideas that are not only achievable in a couple of days but also perfect for adding that extra personal touch with foil wedding stickers.
1. Homemade Candle Jars
Nothing says thoughtful quite like a hand-poured candle. Purchase small glass jars, soy wax, and your favourite fragrance oils. Once your candles are set, top the lids with personalised foil stickers featuring your initials, wedding date, or a short thank-you message. It’s a practical and elegant keepsake your guests will love.
Weekend Tip: Batch pour your candles on Saturday and let them cure overnight. On Sunday, decorate and add your stickers.
2. Mini Shot Bottles
A fun and festive option is to gift your guests mini shot bottles filled with their favourite spirit. Whether you choose whiskey, rum, or even a premixed cocktail, the small bottles make for a playful favour. Add personalised foil stickers with your names or wedding date to tie them into your celebration.
Weekend Tip: Order mini bottles in advance, and spend the weekend adding your custom stickers and perhaps tiny ribbons for an extra touch.
3. Sweet Treat Bags
Fill small kraft or organza bags with treats like donuts, fudge, or chocolates. Seal the bags with a beautiful foil wedding sticker—this simple touch instantly elevates the look and makes it feel bespoke.
Weekend Tip: Bake or buy your sweet treats Saturday morning and spend the afternoon packaging.
4. Seed Packets for "Let Love Grow"
Send your guests home with little packets of wildflower or herb seeds. Use kraft envelopes and add a personalised foil sticker to the front with a phrase like “Let Love Grow” or your names and wedding date. Guests will think of your wedding every time they see the plants bloom.
Weekend Tip: Filling and sealing seed packets is easy assembly-line style—perfect for a Saturday night crafting session with friends.
5. Personalised Tea or Coffee Favours
Buy loose leaf tea or ground coffee in bulk and divide them into mini pouches or jars. Personalised foil stickers can be used to label the flavour and add a custom design. It’s a warm and thoughtful gift that guests can enjoy the morning after your wedding.
Weekend Tip: Spend Saturday creating your custom blends, and Sunday packaging and labelling.
6. Bath Salts or Mini Soaps
For a spa-like gift, mix Epsom salts with essential oils and dried flowers, or purchase handmade mini soaps. Package them in small glass jars or organza bags, finishing with foil stickers that read “Relax & Unwind.”
Weekend Tip: Bath salts can be mixed in under an hour—spend the rest of the weekend packaging beautifully.
7. Homemade Jam or Honey Pots
Tiny jars filled with homemade jam, marmalade, or local honey make for delightful wedding favours. Once filled, cover the lid with a small square of fabric tied with twine, and finish with a foil wedding sticker on top. Sweet and memorable!
Weekend Tip: Jam-making can be done in advance—use the weekend to package and label.
Final Touch: Personalisation is Key
Whatever DIY favour you choose, the secret to making it extra special is in the details. Personalised foil wedding stickers add a luxurious, professional finish to even the simplest of gifts, making your wedding favours not only practical but also cherished keepsakes.
