When preparing a wedding, money is a main factor for a lot of people. Weddings are usually extremely expensive, costing many thousands of bucks, and even with parents pitching in, many couples find that cutting corners in places that won’t be visible in the final product is something that is crucial. The way that a lot of couples set about that is to take a “do it yourself” tactic to many areas – decorations, invitations – and, yes, even favors.

For instance, if you are both dog enthusiasts, you could craft individual chocolates in the shape of dog biscuits, marked with the names of the bride and groom, and the date and perhaps site of the wedding. Or, if you have been in a long term relationship and have collected loads of enjoyable and vivacious photos documenting your time together, you could build small photo albums or picture collection cards documenting the path of your relationship. Or, possibly you are both working toward your personal trainer certification. You could go with a health theme. Or, as a different alternative, you could craft homemade candles or soap in scents and colors that complement the theme of your wedding.
