DIY Seed Packets | Favor Idea

DIY Contributor post by Emily + Erick from Hello Home Shoppe

For this month's contribution, we were inspired by the upcoming wedding season to tackle one of the most aggravating part of pre-wedding preparations: wedding favors! We say most aggravating because when deciding on a wedding favor, it's difficult to find something that's cost-effective in large quantities, yet also still looks classy.

In many cases, wedding favors become an afterthought since most of the wedding budget is tied up in big-ticket wedding items such as the venue, the food, the dress, etc, so the industrious bride is often faced with the decision to DIY her favors.




To us, the perfect DIY favor is a mix of good design, practical application, and simplicity--because after all, as any bride-to-be will attest--there's enough to worry about when planning a wedding than spending hours DIYing a gift!
