The Perfect Homemade Wedding Favor

Creating the perfect homemade wedding favor is a great way to cut some of the cost from your wedding. Since you are making them yourself, you also have control over the finished product. This will prevent the nightmare of ordering one specific type of favor and receiving something totally different. The following are a few hints and tips to help you create the perfect wedding favor for your special day.

The Chocolate Homemade Wedding Favor

Chocolate is often used to make wedding favors. Follow these simple steps in order to create great chocolate wedding favors:

1. Pick up some chocolate from your local grocery store, or any store that sells chocolate cheap. Bags of chocolate chips will do just fine.

2. Find an arts and crafts store and pick out a candy mold that has a design suitable for a wedding. Candy molds come in many different types of designs. What you would be looking for is something that has to do with a wedding such as hearts, doves, etc.

3. The arts and crafts store should also have foil wrappers in the same section, but if they don't you can find many different kinds of foil wrappers online.

4. Once you are home, you want to place the chocolate chips that you purchased in a plastic sandwich bag, loosely seal it, and heat up the bag. In order to heat the bag you may want to place it in hot water. Be sure that no water gets into the bag. Continue heating the bag until the chocolate has melted.

5. Once the chocolate has melted, you want to cut a small hole in the corner of the sandwich bag and begin to slowly squeeze out the chocolate into the candy mold.

6. Once the mold is filled with chocolate, you place the mold in the refrigerator in order to cool.

7. Once the mold is cooled, you can pop it out and place it in the foil wrapper. Enclose the chocolate in the foil and there you have it, instant chocolate wedding favor!

Hint: Make sure that there is enough space in the refrigerator in order to store all your wedding favors until the day of the wedding. Please do not store the finished wedding favors out in the open because they will melt and all you work will be wasted.

If you are looking to save a few bucks when planning your wedding, it may be a good idea to make your own wedding favors. With some good planning and a little creativity, you can make awesome wedding favors that look just as good as the professionals.
