Have you noticed that so many people are getting into the DIY bandwagon? It is not any different with weddings. We can find so many resources online regarding DIY wedding decoration, DIY wedding cake, and DIY invitations.

Another popular DIY project that many brides want to try is the wedding favors. A wedding favor, which is a way of saying thank you to guests for attending your wedding, is also a keepsake that guests would remember your wedding by. For this reason, you would want to give away unique and special wedding favors that they would surely keep for a very long time.

Here are some wonderful and somewhat humorous DIY wedding favors that will also make your guests holler in laughter.

Funny Fortune Cookies

Take out your baking apron and whip up some exciting and flavorful cookies for your guests to enjoy. To make it more fun, include a piece of paper that contains wacky predictions (Today, is your lucky day, you will get to meet your Prince Charming. He looks like Barney, but who cares?!) or funny quotes (Love is like a cake. It is sweet but if you have too much of it, you get sick!). You can even personalize the fortune cookie so that the guests (especially your closest friends) would have a grand time laughing at inside jokes.

Hangover Survival Kit

Put together antacid, bottled water, and a headache medication in a small handmade box. Add a couple of candies and sweet treats. Voila, you have an “after the party” kit that would surely make your friends (especially those who love going out for drinks) laugh out loud. Do not forget to wrap the package with a ribbon that says, “Drink moderately! A friendly reminder from (couple’s name)”

Mini T-Shirts with Amusing Prints

This one you can make on actual-sized shirts but to save money, you can print amusing texts and funny graphics on mini shirts that can be bought in many retail stores. Use an iron-on transfer paper to print in your own printer some comical texts and illustrations you have collected. You can even have the mini shirts customized for each guest. For example, for your maid of honor, you can give something that says, “Bridezilla in the Making” or for the groom’s mother, you can give a “Cried Two Thousand and One Tear Drops in a Day” shirt.

  3. A pouch of different kinds of nuts and a little card that says, “You’re nuts!” or “From one nut to another!”
  4. A compact mirror inside a beautiful handmade box. On top of the box, write something that says, “Warning: You may not like what you are about to see inside!”

Making wedding favors can be tedious for some people. After all, creating something a hundred times over can surely be tiresome and monotonous. However, if you create hilarious DIY wedding favors, not only would your guests break out laughing, you would also surely have a grand time making these favors.
