Planning an event can feel overwhelming, but adding personal touches through DIY party favors and decor can make any gathering feel extra special. These projects are fun and creative, budget-friendly, and allow you to customize your party to fit your theme perfectly.
At One and Done with Cookie, we love helping our clients create these simple ideas. Whether you’re hosting a birthday, wedding, or casual get-together, we want to share two valuable pro tips for crafting a personalized party favor and easy DIY decor that will elevate your event.
1. Personalized Party Favors That Wow
Simple projects that make guests feel special.
Customized Candles
What You Need: Small candles, paint pens, custom labels or tags
How To: Buy small candles in jars or tins and use paint pens to decorate them with names, dates, or designs that match your event theme. Add a custom label or tag, and voila! You have a cozy gift that your guests will love.
Pro Tip: I work with a talented local candle maker in Bonita Springs. Her incredible knack for blending scents helps us create new fragrances, and her candles always turn out beautifully. Labels are tailored to meet our clients' preferences.

Flower Centerpieces in Unusual Containers
What You Need: Fresh flowers and unusual containers (mason jars, teapots, vintage vases, etc.).
How To: Skip the expensive florist and create your centerpieces using fresh flowers and unique containers. Mason jars, old teapots, and empty wine bottles make exciting vases. Add a mix of flowers and greenery for a stunning, effortless look.
Pro Tip: Visit the Guadalupe Center (located at 12980 Tamiami Trail N) or any Goodwill Center to find a variety of containers and mix and match different flowers.
