For as much fun as your guests will have on your wedding day, it is certainly a major undertaking for them to attend in the first place. With travel and lodging concerns and trying to find you the ideal wedding gift, your guests will go the extra mile to make your nuptials unforgettable, so repaying them with a small token of affection is a fitting gesture that will send them off with warm memories.
Of course, to ensure that your wedding favors make a lasting impression on your guests, a touch of DIY flair will go a long way! Here are a few great custom wedding favor ideas from Nanina’s in the Park!
- Candles: While you don’t have to pour the wax yourself, candles are a wonderful gift that your friends and family can use in their homes long after your special day. To make yours stand out, look for candle tins and design a special sticker to go on the top of each piece with you and your significant other’s initials. You can even add a personalized message to each one if you are handing them out individually!
- Homemade Granola: Food is always a smart choice for a wedding favor, especially one that your guests can eat on the way home! Granola is a quick and easy gift that you can throw into a mason jar with dried fruit, nuts and other ingredients. Simply add a customized label to the outside and your loved ones will be more than happy to take one home with them.
- Signature Drinks: Refreshments are exactly what your guests will need when they head home, and this can be your own twist on the signature drink! Empty and wash a bunch of clear soda bottles and whip up a lemonade or iced tea drink that you can use to fill them. Add a colorful straw and a small card with a recipe for your drink that your guests can use in the future.
- Local Fare: Part of the joy of traveling to weddings is being able to sample some of the local foods and specialties, and you can ensure that your guests do that in your wedding favors! Throw together candies and coffees from local suppliers, and place them in a cup or vase that they can use down the road.
- Nanina’s in the Park Pasta Sauces: Did you know that your wedding venue can give your guests its own parting gift? Nanina’s in the Park makes its own homemade Italian pasta sauces, available in Vodka, Tomato and Basil, Marinara and Fra Diavolo, which have been highly rated by publications like the Italian Tribune. This is a fabulous parting gift for your wedding guests that they can make great use of down the road!
