DIY Holiday Wedding Favor Ideas
You’ll notice how our finds are inspired by well-loved traditions for festive packaging, delicious treats, and Christmas decorations.
Packaging from classic to casual
Any treat or trinket gets a special holiday look in ‘Christmas cracker’ wrapping (1) that’s a British tradition. Or for a casual wedding, you can go for cutesy ‘mason jar frames’ (7) holding fun photos or vintage greeting cards or gift tags.
Christmas confections
This charming gingerbread bride and groom (2) can inspire your own home-baked cookie figures to give as favors; while macadamia brittle (3), Christmas cookie mix) in jars (4), or Mexican wedding cookies (6) would make most welcome take-home treats!
Keepsake ornaments
Delight guests with handcrafted ‘snow globes’ in recycled jars (5) or tree ornaments (8) you can fill with snippets of Christmas memories (sheet music of holiday songs and carols, recycled cards, bits of tinsel, confetti).
