Giving music CDs have become fairly popular in the past few years because more and more couples are looking for unique but practical or usable wedding favors. CD’s usually contain either music or software and can be customized to your tastes. Although there are a variety of options for what you can put on the CD’s, music is definitely the top choice. Here are the basics that you will need for you to be able to create your own inexpensive music CD as favors for your wedding guests.

What You Will Need:

– A CD Rewriter – almost all PCs and laptops are equipped with a CD Rewriter. Compared to the regular player which plays CDs, a CD Rewriter is able to record or ‘burn’ songs from the PC to a CD.

– Blank discs – Depending on size of the songs, a blank CD with 700MB capacity can hold up to 100 songs; more if you are able to compress the size of the song. Blank discs can be found at your local PC shop or order some online. They are cheap and readily accessible.

What You Will Put In:

– You can put in your favorite songs, individually or as a couple. You can use the same playlist as well as the one you will be using on your big day.

– Put in love songs or romantic songs that mean something special for the both of you. Choose happy love songs of course instead of sad love songs, even if that sad song played a part in your relationship, include only the happy ones.

How To Package It:

– You can find plastic cases for your CDs that do not have any prints. They are cheap as well and can be bought in stores or online. They come in different colors as well so choose one that is the same shade as your color motif or something that will complement it.

– You can print your own label using your home PC and just with simple paper or stationery. You can put in your photo or have it in plain text. Use higher quality paper for better presentation.

Make It More Unique:

– Have a theme for your CD. If your wedding is an elegant one, have some classical music. If it is a beach wedding, have songs in the same summer theme as well. If it is a Christmas wedding, you can put in some Christmas songs; or songs about spring if your wedding was held during this particular season. If you can put in other files, give some trivia about your wedding month. This can make it a more interesting CD wedding favor than the regular ‘all music’ CDs.

Your guests will truly appreciate not just the songs, but your time and effort in preparing them. It is something that they can just pop into the CD player and then be carried away by the romance and drama of the music you have given them during your wedding.
