When you’re planning a wedding, you have a lot on your plate, and sometimes, things can get pushed aside and forgotten in the chaos of planning. However, you should never forget about the favors for your guests. You want to show your appreciation for their love and support. Here are some unique wedding favors for your friends and family.
Homemade Vanilla
If you or your fiance are known for your love of baking, then you should consider making homemade vanilla for your guests. It does need a few months to steep before it’s ready to use, but it takes virtually no effort on your part, so it’s the perfect idea for a busy bride.
Vanilla consists of vanilla beans and vodka or rum. You should aim for two to three vanilla beans for every 8 ounces of liquid. Pour the alcohol into a dark glass container, cut the vanilla beans in half and put them in the bottle. Store it in the back of a cupboard and give it a shake every few weeks. Then, portion it into smaller bottles and put a label on it for your favor.
Custom Bottle Openers
Bottle openers are something that everyone can use and appreciate. Instead of getting your loved ones a boring bottle opener, work with metalworking services Los Banos CA to make a custom design for yours. If your wedding is an outdoor theme, you could do a bottle opener in the shape of an acorn. Whatever you decide to do, your friends will love it.
Gift Cards
Sometimes, letting your loved ones buy their own present is the way to go. When you aren’t sure what to do, give out gift cards. You would typically spend $15-$20 on a gift, so instead, put that on the gift card. You could do a variety of cards and let your guests choose their favorites. Then, if you have any leftover after the wedding, you and your spouse can use them.
