Wedding favours are traditional tokens of appreciation and gratitude and are a personal way of thanking your guests for celebrating your special day with you. Although they are usually a minor detail to a wedding, those of you who have a large guest-list may find yourself spending a small fortune on these often soon-to-be-forgotten memorabilia. Making your own is a great way to put a bit of personality into your wedding favours, and will certainly save the pennies for the more major elements of your wedding. As long as you have fingers and thumbs you have no excuse, so put your creative hat on and take a look at these sweet and simple DIY wedding favour ideas that you can make in the comfort of your own home:
