Wedding Shower Favor Ideas

With a friend’s wedding coming up later this month, I’m helping her out on the wedding favors. The plan is to do something a little different and original, with nice packages that are sure to elicit lots of oohs and aahs from the guests.

Just thought I would share our favorite ideas here with you, especially if you’re a bride-to-be or helping a friend out for her upcoming wedding. Enjoy!

Give someone a pleasant surprise

Dont you just love getting free gift? I do, especially when it comes as a surprise. There are many ways to create a happy customer and one of the easiest and most effective way is by slipping in a free gift along with a purchase. Some crafters love to surprise their new customers with free gifts while some occasionally surprise their loyal customers with thank-you gifts. Whichever your choice is, it will help to increase customers loyalty and in return, they will help you to spread great word-of-mouth.

Here are some simple and easy free gift ideas that you can easily slip into your parcel to delight someone.

Label Your Handmade

Packaging is important not only in the commercial business but also in the handmade business. It’s all about first impressions when your customers received the first package from you. When it comes to packaging, you might only need something as simple as a label or a tag. It can either be printed or handwritten depending on your liking (that’s the greatest thing about handmade!).
