If you're creative about choosing wedding favors, these fun gifts can serve double duty at your reception as décor and as a memento for guests. With so many options, picking out wedding favors is great fun, but depending on how many guests you've invited, buying wedding favors can get pricey! If you're looking to save costs but still offer your guests unique wedding favors, consider some of these do-it-yourself favors for wedding guests depending on your theme:

Celebratory Toast Themed Wedding Favors

If you're planning a bit more of a formal wedding, consider using martini glasses to create unique wedding favors. The martini glass makes a wonderful keepsake -- but it's what you put inside them that make them 'pop' on the table. To add color to your table, fill them with jellybeans, chocolate pieces, or mints in your wedding colors, then use a hot glue gun to attach a beautiful silver or gold charm and a colored ribbon to the glass.

Tie beautiful ribbon around the top of the neck with a personalized tag. As a finishing touch, place a chocolate pretzel in the glass to look like a stir stick. When you're done, you'll have a treat that all your guests will love regardless of their age.

Nautical Themed Unique Favors for Wedding Guests

For a nautical themed wedding, offer favors for wedding guests that are spilling from a miniature treasure chests. To add a personal flair, add a personalized monogram with craft paint on the lid of this nautical chest. Fill the treasure chests with a variety of treats such as chocolates, mints, and candies to mimic real treasure.

Cowboy Themed Wedding Favors

Cowboy themed weddings offer a wealth of fun and creative decorating options! Try lining the tables with a handkerchief patterned tablecloth and using overturned cowboy hats as centerpieces. Fill each hat with chocolate bars in personalized wrappers that your guests can take home with them at the end of the night. To take the theme further, place mini felt cowboy hats next to each place setting and fill with mints or chocolates. For a personalized touch, use a fine-tipped metallic marker to write the bride and groom's name on each mini hat.

Unique Wedding Favors for Beach Themed Weddings

Many beach themed weddings are destination weddings. In this case, a personalized mini suitcase-shaped tin filled with mints or chocolates makes a fun favor. To add even more value to these gifts, attach a magnet to the back of the tin so that your guests can display it for years to come. Another idea is to fill a champagne glass with sand and shells or with candies and chocolate. To customize the favor, tie a bow with a personalized favor ribbon imprinted with your names and the wedding date.

When it comes to creating unique wedding favors, the possibilities are endless. To save money, start with some unique wedding favor inspiration pieces and then complete the personalization and assembly yourself. Not only will they have a personal flair that ideally suits your wedding theme, these are truly unique gifts that you and your guests will treasure for years to come.
