At first thought, a cookie cutter may not seem to be a great idea for a wedding favor. In reality it can actually be an attractive and fun wedding favor to give. Giving your guests a cookie cutter wedding favor allows you to show off your personality while giving out something that can actually be useful after the wedding. Here’s how to create an elegant and fun cookie cutter wedding favor.
First of all, you need to choose your cookie cutter. Silver colored metal cookie cutters typically match wedding decorations the best. If you happen to be using gold or other metallic colors in your wedding you can also look for cookie cutters in gold or copper. Use your cookie cutter choice as your chance to show off your personality. Are you and your spouse-to-be Christians pledging your love to each other? A cross cookie cutter would be great. Are the groomsmen wearing kilts? Try a shamrock cookie cutter. Is your dog the ring bearer? How about a dog cookie cutter? Are the bride and groom both teachers? An apple cookie cutter would be perfect. Be creative with your cookie cutter ideas and make sure that when your guests receive their wedding favor they automatically think, “This is perfect for them!” Numerous online retailers offer cookie cutters of all shapes and sizes at a very reasonable price.
Instead of just piling all of your cookie cutters together to give out as wedding favors, add a stylish touch by attaching your cookie cutter to cardstock. To do this, use pinking shears or other scrapbooking scissors to cut out rectangles of cardstock that are about 1 inch larger all the way around than your cookie cutter. Place the cookie cutter in the middle of the cardstock, then use a hole punch to punch out a hole on two sides of the cookie cutter. Next, thread a pretty ribbon through the holes (the ribbon can be white or you can choose a matching color), securing the cookie cutter to the cardstock and tie. Your cookie cutter now has a backing board and lovely ribbon giving your wedding favors a tasteful touch.
As a final touch for your wedding favors, you may choose to imprint some scripture, a favorite quote, or a “thank you for coming” note on the cardstock your cookie cutters are attached to. You can either print this onto the cardstock before cutting it and attaching your cookie cutters, or you can print out your text onto clear address labels to attach to the cards. Adding a special note, or explanation of the cookie cutter shape, is a final special addition to your cookie cutter wedding favors.
The guests who come to your wedding are there to show their love and support for your new marriage, and to bring you great gifts! Show your appreciation for their attendance and generosity by supplying a unique and useful cookie cutter wedding favor for all of your guests.
