Memorable Wedding Favors

By: Darson5 Home | News-and-Society


Memorable wedding favors can provide your guests with a small reminder of your much anticipated wedding day. The wedding favor is a tangible reminder of the wedding that they can take home with them and enjoy for years to come.

Wedding favors are small, adorable gifts that you place by the plate of each guest at your wedding reception. These tiny trinkets are the bride and groom’s way of showing their appreciation to every guest in attendance, letting them know just how glad they are to share their special day with them.

If you are worried about exceeding your wedding budget on little things such as wedding favors, there are many inexpensive options available. Wedding favors do not have to be overly elaborate to be appreciated. They can be as simple as sweetly scented soaps, candles, or novelty items such as magnets or bottle stoppers.

Should you Choose Themed Favors?

When you are choosing wedding favors for your guests, you must first decide if you prefer a themed wedding favor or a wedding favor that will cover a broader spectrum.

If your wedding is a destination wedding located in an exotic place, or in a special location, such as the beach, themed favors are definitely the best way to go. Here are a few quick suggestions for themed favors:

â€
For a wedding at the beach or in a tropical location, include items such as sunscreen, sunglasses, a beach towel, flip flops, or even tiny buckets to make miniature sandcastles.
â€
A winter destination wedding might be held at a ski resort, where you could present your guests with favors such as a fleece scarf, gloves, or a hat.
â€
Travel goodies are always a favorite for any destination wedding. Gifts such as miniature bottles of shampoo, conditioner, soap or a travel grooming kit and scented candles are little favorites that thank your guest for traveling to be a part of your special day.

On the other hand, perhaps your wedding is of the more conventional variety, with your ceremony being performed in a church, temple, or other formal location. Themed favors can work here too, but more general favors are an option as well.

Favorite Favor Ideas

Whether you are having a themed wedding, a destination wedding, a traditional or casual wedding, there are some types of wedding favors that will never go out of style, and they are all the more memorable for it.

â€
Remind your guests about the sweetness of your wedding day with some tasty treats. Choose from anything including delicious heart-shaped treats, or miniature Hershey’s kisses. Add a personalized touch by having the candy engraved with the names or initials of the bride and groom or their wedding date.
â€
Edible wedding favors are always a big hit, and there are more options than just candy. Give your guests a monogrammed pot of sweet honey, or some delectable coffee, tea, or cocoa sachets. If you want to go the extra mile, get hand-decorated sugared almonds, decorated with a tiny bride and groom. All of your guests will agree that they are too cute to eat!
â€
Candles always make a great gift for anyone’s home and there are endless candle shapes and molds available. From luscious rose ball candles in perfect pink, to gorgeous miniature wedding cake candles, there are dozens, if not hundreds, of different options.
â€
Photo frames and photo albums are the perfect memorable wedding favors, providing your guests with an attractive gift as well as a place to showcase photos from the big event.
â€
Many people are choosing to provide their guests with sachets of bird seed instead of the traditional rice or confetti. It will come out of clothing just as easily as the more traditional products, and you will give the birds in the area a tasty treat after the wedding is over. This is the perfect solution for couples who want their wedding to be as environmentally friendly as possible.

Do It Yourself Wedding Favors

The best wedding favors are those your guests will remember. There is nothing more memorable than wedding favors that you have taken the time to make yourself. One way to make your own wedding favors is to buy do-it-yourself favor kits, which include boxes and tags that you can use as gift boxes for the wedding favors you choose. Choose items to fill the boxes that are special and unique to the bride and groom. Follow these guidelines and suggestions and you will instantly have personalized, unique, and very memorable wedding favors.
