Inspired Ideas For Last Minute Wedding Favors

By: Angela Trent Home | Business


Planning a wedding is a big job with a seemingly endless supply of details to take care of. There is always that one item that everyone forgets about until the week before the wedding. If you just realized that you forgot to plan your wedding favors, there’s no need to panic. We have some ideas for last minute bridal favors that are sure to be a hit with your guests.

Simply Sweet
It’s a well-known fact that some people attend weddings just for the desserts. So why not give them more of what they came for? Candy is easy to find and very affordable. All you need are some cute candy favor boxes or bags and some of your favorite sweet treats.

Her Bridal Favors has Wedding Favor Bags and Favor Boxes to fit every style, theme, and budget. If you’re in a big rush, you can find suitable containers, including small tins and baskets, in the craft sections of department and discount stores. Once you’ve chosen the perfect candy containers, pick out the chocolate, mints, or hard candy that you want to give your guests. If you have time to personalize them, try using ribbon to tie on small favor tags with your names and the wedding date.

Or just order the Wedding Gown Mint Tin Wedding Favor with the mints already in the tin. It doesn’t get any easier than that.

Love Notes
Notepads are an inexpensive wedding favor that guests can use long after the big day. In an office supply or paper store, you can find simple heart-shaped pads or square ones that are made from elegant paper. For a fun, personal touch, you and your fianc can sign the top page of each pad with your boldest, most interesting signature.

If you can’t find what you’re looking for, go to your local copy shop and ask about the notepads they can make for you. Copy shops can make notepads in a variety of sizes with your initials or your names placed anywhere on the page.

If you have time to wait on shipping, you can order wedding favor notepads from Her Bridal Favors. The Shell Design Notepad on a purse-sized clipboard comes elegantly packaged in its own box with organza bow. The Something Old, New, Borrowed, Blue Note Favor Set is an adorable stack of tiny gift boxes with a blue notepad in the bottom box. What a fun surprise for your friends and family!

Picture Perfect
Everybody loves a picture, and luckily, picture favors can be quick, easy, and fairly cheap to make. Start by having a friend take some casual pictures of you and your fiance together. Have fun with this. The more your personalities show, the better the pictures will be. The prints will be small, though, so be sure that the pictures are taken up close.

Choose the best 3-5 pictures to use for the favors. Crop the photos if necessary and make them black and white if you prefer the classic look. Some photo programs even allow you to add words on top of the photo, which gives you the opportunity to add your names and the date. Once the pictures look the way you want them to, send them to any photo lab to be made into sheets of wallet-size prints.

Now it’s time to choose the frames for your bridal favors. If you have enough time to have them shipped before the wedding, you can find a wide variety of inexpensive 3â€x 2†picture frames and 2 x 2 place card frames online. Either one will work for this project. Her Bridal Favors has a large selection of Wedding Favor Frames to choose from. The â€Love Within My Heart†Silver Metal Frames are under $2.00 each and would be perfect for your picture favors.

If you don’t have time to order frames, you should be able to find them at a hobby store. They don’t all have to be the same, but they should coordinate. Once you’ve chosen the frames and picked up the prints, simply place the pictures in the frames and grace your reception place settings with your photographic party favors.

With a little creativity, no one will even know that the wedding favors slipped your mind until the last minute. Your guests will be amazed at how well you planned and executed the perfect wedding.
