That will make planning easier in the long run. 
Drink-to-go
This is a cute way to incorporate specialty cocktails into your favors. For this DIY wedding favor, all you need is a mini bottle and a take home cup, shot glass or bottle opener. You can write drink puns on a tag that ties the two together. You can chose two spirits, one for the bride and one for the groom, and create the favors around that. If you're doing a specialty cocktail, you can use the spirit from that drink and write down the recipe for guests. If you don't have a specialty cocktail, a cute bottle opener is a great alternative! You can tie a tag with a cute saying or your wedding hashtag and give them a practical favor they can use time and time again. Of course, this is just a short list of DIY wedding favors you can make for your big day. Remember, DIY projects don't have to be complicated, anyone can do them.
