Presenting favors to your wedding guests “show[s] your appreciation for your guests” and “[adds] a personal touch” according to The Knot Book of Wedding Lists by Carley Roney and the editors of theknot.com (Clarkson Potter Publishers, 2007).

For the bride who has even basic crochet skills, these simple baskets highlight one of the bride’s interests not to mention her thoughtfulness. A friend or family member could offer to make the favors as a wedding gift.

Selecting Yarn for Crochet Projects

The color of the favors should complement the wedding color or color scheme. Brown, white, tan, or straw colors work well for a basket, but the bride can play with the pattern and different color yarns. The baskets could be done in an array of colors (perhaps directing people to a particular table).
