Tips for Creating Your Own Wedding Favours

Wedding cost can be astronomical. Whether you are looking for cost effective ways,to  add a personal touch, or simply to leave your guests with a unique memento, creating your own wedding favors is an excellent option.

Create a wedding favor that matches the theme of your wedding. If you are getting married around Christmas time, personalize a glass ornament for each guest or sew miniature stockings with a photo of you and your new spouse inside. Having an outdoor reception? Purchase small watering cans and fill them with dried flowers. Add your names and the date to the outside. If your wedding is to be held on the beach, collect shells and paint them with your wedding theme colors, then personalize with the date and a message from the bride and groom.

Give your guests something that will let them remember your special day. If you are a candle lover, purchase tea lights and place them in a hand-painted glass votive. If you love to cook, consider giving your friends and family your favorite recipe with one of the ingredients or spices it uses in a personalized jar. Another one-of-a-kind favor idea is to give each guest a CD featuring songs that are played at your reception. The discs can easily be personalized with a computer label. If you are a book lover, personalised a bookmark with your names, the date and a message on it. You can even decorate the bookmark.

Personalize the old standby of a candy favor by making your own bags or jars in which to take it home. Whether you pre-fill the container with sweets or the guests select from a candy bar, the lasting keepsake of a personalized holder will endure long after the candy is gone.

Scarf with Tatting Edging

 

 This is what Carolyn Kotlas wrote about this piece she made: "After working on and off for a few of years, the tatted edging with beads for the scarf that a tatter friend gave me is FINALLY finished!! The scarf is 70" by 12" so I needed 164 inches of edging or over 4 yards." Isn't that inspiring?

Tatting Display In A Library

Look at this. If only the library in Singapore will do that.

Handmade Lace Table Mat

What a colourful table mat. The versatile thing about tatting is that you can easily mix and match various varigated threads to create different effects. This is done by one of my students.

Dreams

B6 greeting card with bookmark. The butterfly is layered with glitter and rhinestones. This can be for birthday, after graduation or as an encouragement.

Photos From Chapel Market @ CHIJMES

 I was given an extra booth at no extra charge because there were only 7 vendors on Friday

 This is how it looks like at night

 The entire place was full house on Friday night and there were music and singing performance at one of the restuarants

 This used to be the CHIJ chapel

 It's also full house at the fountain

 The overall experience on Friday was average

Saturday was a total letdown. Not only was the crowd halved but I got an irresponsible and inconsiderate blogshop owner as neighbour. This will be my first and last event with For Flea Sake if they don't do something about booth space and allocation and advertising for the event.

Chapel Market @ CHIJMES

My next stop will be at CHIJMES on 22-23 Mar 5-11pm. Have your dinner at CHIJMES and do your shopping after that. See you there.

Office Executives Bazaar @ OUB Centre

This is my display for the bazaar that just passed. The crowd was huge. Many found my items unique and were impressed that everything is handmade.

A special thanks to those of you who patronise my booth. Hope to see you in future fairs and bazaars.

My first fair and bazaar after a break of 2 years. See you there.
