DIY Wedding Favor Ideas

May 7, 2026

Homemade favors are personal and affordable. Try these simple DIY ideas.

DIY favors are a labor of love. Make jam or honey in small jars with custom labels. Make candles with beeswax or soy wax. Add essential oils for scent. Package them in a small tin or glass jar. Make soap using melt-and-pour soap base. Add dried flower petals for decoration. Make sugar scrub by mixing sugar, coconut oil, and essential oil in small jars. Make seed bombs by combining clay, compost, and wildflower seeds. Make cookies or chocolates wrapped in clear bags tied with ribbon. Make a donation to charity in lieu of favors. Put a small card at each seat explaining the donation. DIY favors are time-consuming. Start at least two months before the wedding. Do not attempt to DIY favors for more than 100 guests.
