How To Make CD Wedding Favors

With today’s modern technology, weddings are catching up as well. Music CDs are now commonly used as wedding favors - they are inexpensive and easy to make. You can compile love songs that are well-loved, or use the ones that you will already use on your big day.

Music CDs are something guests will truly appreciate because it is something that they can use instead of just display around. Everyone has CD players so everyone can already listen to it. Here are the things that you need to do in preparing CD wedding favors.

1. You will need a CD Rewriter to be able to copy songs from your PC to the CDs. Most laptops and PCs have CD drives that are able to write on CDs. Purchase blank CDs as well. They can hold more than 100 songs and can be purchased inexpensively on PC stores.

2. Get a list of songs you want to be included in the CD. Normally, CDs would include between 15 to 20 songs – these are songs that have special meaning for the couple. However, do not include sad love songs, but rather, include happy and romantic love songs.

3. Put the CDs in plastic cases. They can be purchased online or on PC stores at a low price. There are available in various colors as well so you are sure to find a color that can complement your color motif.

4. Print labels for your CD that you can insert on the front side of the case. You can use specialty paper to hold up, and you can choose either keeping it simple by putting the wedding details and song list; or print photos in photo paper to make your CD professional-looking. You can put ribbons or laces or any artsy decoration on the plastic case. Make sure this will fit in your wedding theme as well.

5. Just like DVDs or CDs, you can put in ‘bonus material’ in your CD such as trivia about your wedding, or have a voice recording of your personal message to your guests. They will truly be surprised with this ‘bonus feature’ in your CD. You can also out ‘behind the scenes’ videos – about your wedding preparation – in the CD. Make sure you mention this in the label so they will pop your CD not in the music player but in their PCs so that the video will show.

Your guests will truly be moved once again, even after your wedding, upon listening to your romantic and personalized CD wedding favors. Music will always bring memories – whether anger, happiness or sadness. And with your CD wedding favors, you are sure they will be leaving your wedding on such a sweet note.
