How to Make Wedding Favors

Help out your favorite bride-to-be with these crafty ideas.

Instructions

STEP 1: Fill clear glass ornament balls with dried flowers. Insert a ribbon with the name of the couple and the date written in silver or gold. Tie a bow of white ribbon on top.

STEP 2: Have a white ribbon printed with the bride and groom's names. Tie it in a bow and place it on top of some big silver bells.

STEP 3: Decorate small vine wreaths with dried flowers to match the bride's bouquet. These make cute napkin rings.

STEP 4: Cut the stamens out of some long-stemmed, white silk or plastic roses. Fill small mesh bags with rice and tie the tops with white or silver curling ribbon. Hot-glue a mesh bag into the middle of each flower. Untie the bows if you want to toss the rice at the bride and groom.

STEP 5: Make labels with the date of the wedding and the bride and groom's names on them. Stick them to bottles of bubbles.

STEP 6: Have a wedding portrait drawn by a court reporter or newspaper cartoonist.

STEP 7: Instead of a guest book, take Polaroid pictures and have guests sign their pictures. Put these pictures into a photo album.

STEP 8: Have the bridesmaids carry lanterns, which will double as bridesmaids' gifts. Cover them with ivy or flowers.

STEP 9: Make party crackers, with fun gifts placed inside of empty paper towel rolls, wrapped in pretty tissue paper. Tie the ends with curling ribbons.

STEP 10: Have postcards made using the best engagement photos and write a special note on each.
