There are many reasons why you might like to make your own wedding fans.  Perhaps you have just considered using them and you are limited in time.  It could be that it would just run into more money than you can afford.  And then again, perhaps you just can’t find what you are looking for.  If you would like some direction in how to make wedding fans there are numerous web sites and how-to books available that could give you a place to start. 

Some people choose to make their own wedding fans because they have a particular craft that lends itself to wedding décor.  For instance, if you have a home embroidery machine you may wish to use your own digitized designs that can be embroidered on the wedding fans as well as on table linens.  Embroidered favors and decorations are exquisite additions to any wedding celebration.

Perhaps you make silk flowers, or your hobby is sewing and would like to craft your own wedding fans.  If you are at all adept in any craft then you wouldn’t need to learn how to make wedding fans.  It should be an easy endeavor with just a little ingenuity.   You can simply adapt skills that you already have and apply them to handmade wedding fans.

Probably the best reason why you would learn how to make wedding fans is because you want to give the bride an heirloom, something to be handed down from generation to generation.  If you are the mother of the bride this is especially nostalgic.  Remember, the bride gets to keep her wedding fan and the guests get to keep the replicas.  You might even go into business teaching others how to make wedding fans!
