Wedding Favor Creator

Wedding favors have always been a nice, personal gesture to include in your wedding preparations. Unfortunately, there are too many "cookie-cutter" type favors out there, which portray the couple's lack of interest in providing something unique.

Here is a Wedding Favor Creator for you to use for your upcoming wedding or one that you're planning for your best friend. You can mix and match to your heart's content and according to the budget you have.

Small containers to use for candies, chocolates, small floating candles, decorative soaps, etc. (many of them can be purchased at your local dollar store)

• tiny wicker baskets or straw hats

• egg cups

• candle holders

• flat shells (scallops)

• small filigree metal boxes

• decorated wooden boxes

• coffee mugs

Fillings to add to your favor containers

• flower bulbs

• bath oil beads

• bath salts

• small bag of mixed spice (cinnamon/nutmeg) and your favorite apple pie recipe
