The ideas listed below range from the modern to the classic. The following ideas are meant to suit a variety of wedding themes and personal preferences from modern to traditional:

• Wedding CD/DVD Favors: This is one of the most up-to-date type of homemade wedding favor-or pseudo-homemade at least. This project is perfect for those who have at some computer skills. It involves a bit of audio editing plus the creation of a CD or DVD label.

• A variety of items could be placed on this CD or DVD, such as the couple's wedding song, spoken story about how the couple met, documentary of day, time, and year, of wedding, and so on. This can be strategically and creatively edited as a keepsake for life. All your guests will appreciate it.

• Decorative Seed Planting Kits: This has been one of the longest-standing of all wedding traditions. Most of your guests will appreciate having something of value, such as flower or plant seeds. 

Your role in this case as a homemade wedding favor creator would be to think of a a unique way to package this type of gift. Usually a box wrapped in some type of decorative paper is easiest to create. You may consider placing the seeds in some type of glass or vase, or in a small sachet.

• Colored Rock Candy: If you can remember that recipe you learned in second grade science class this would be the perfect solution for you. The only extra added cost besides sugar and water would be some food coloring. Your guests may not necessarily want to eat it but they may think it will look pretty in their drinks.  

• Homemade jellies and jams: It is hard to find a guest who would not like a miniature jar of this item. If you remember how your grandpa canned this item then go for it. You have not much dignity to lose, as nearly everyone loves jam and  jelly. You can have fun with this and create personalized labels for the jelly as well. A computer, printer, and minimal artistic ability is all that is needed.

• Miniature bottles of herb oil: Doing this yourself beats paying up to 7.00 for even the smallest bottle of herb oil in the store. Besides, you can make these guest gifts the way you want to make them with the right kinds of spices.  

Usually it involves putting a combination of spices (i.e. Mexican or Italian) in some high-grade olive oil. Your guests will love this gesture, because even if they cannot cook they know someone who can. (They may not want to give it up anyway, and if they don't it is a keepsake for life, as oil does not really go “bad.”)
