I have been anxiously awaiting this day for well over a month. Today I finished our DIY wedding favors.
It wasn’t easy, but it was worth every one of the 3,888 peeled stickers, 3,240 hole punched dots, and 216 tied bows that Mom Spring Roll and I completed.
Let’s take a look inside, shall we?
Mr. Spring Roll and I wanted to give our guests favors that showed them a little about us. I made three favors for each box: an item representing Mr. Spring Roll, myself, and us. Additionally, I attached a card explaining the significance of each item.
Mr. Spring Roll is a master at solving the Rubik’s cube. He can solve any mixed up cube in less than five minutes. We naturally chose a keychain mini Rubik’s cube as his item. I couldn’t give guests just any mini Rubik’s cube; I personalized them with our photo and wedding colors.
As mentioned in my Secret Life of Bees post, I love baking. To represent my love for baking, each guest is getting a heart cookie cutter, with my favorite cut-out cookie recipe. This was by far the easiest of the DIY’s.
For the past four years Mr. Spring Roll has promised me that he would one day take me to see the Eiffel Tower. We are spending our honeymoon in London and Paris, where Mr. Spring Roll will fulfill his promise. Since I can’t give each guest an Eiffel Tower, I made them each an Eiffel Tower bar of soap for their shower (tower, shower, get it?).
Stay tuned for the tutorials on how I made the Rubik’s cubes and Eiffel Tower soap!
Do you plan to DIY favors for your guests?

Oooooh, You are one super crafty and clever bee! I’m super impressed. What a fun favor… I’d love to get that!
That is to cute! I love how personalized they are, your guests are going to LOVE IT!
I was waiting for you to tell where you bought the Eiffel tower and my jaw dropped when you revealed that you MADE it. I’m very impressed.
Springy, these are AWESOME. If I were your guest, I’d love every one of these components. I can’t wait to read about how you DIY’d the rubik’s cube.
that is brilliant! i love the tower references - so cute!
Wow, lady, I hope Mr. Spring Roll takes you out for dinner for these favors! That was a lot of work! And I also thought you were about to say you bought the Eiffel Tower soaps; I can’t believe you made them!!!
I wish I could be as crafty as you Miss. Spring Roll! I was waiting on the source of where you could buy personalized Rubik’s cubes–I can’t believe you made that!
Those are amazing. Especially the soap. Now you’re just making the rest of us (ok, maybe just my non-crafty self) look bad. Can’t wait for you to tell us more about the fun stuff!
i would totally cherish that if i received this at a wedding.
So cute! Where did you get your labels on the box from?
I love the making your own soap favours- adorable!
these are too cute. soo creative and memorable. i like how much personality they have 
I love how you attached notes with the significance of the favors. And I can’t believe you made the soap, and the rubiks cube?!
FABULOUS! I totally thought at first that the Eiffel Towers were white chocolate but the soap is so much more unique and awesome!
