Favour Gifts for Your Wedding
Guests
Wedding favors are nice to have for your
wedding guests. This practice is so common at weddings that
most  wedding
guests expect to receive some little treat or token which
represents a little thank you for coming to the wedding. They
are usually be set at the place settings of the wedding guests'
tables, but can also be given to the wedding guests as they
arrive or before they leave the wedding reception.
Your wedding favors can be as simple
as a few mints or chocolates smartly decorated or as extravagant
as having an item that reflects your personality or the theme
of your wedding. Shop around for wedding favor ideas, keeping
the number of wedding guests you are expecting in mind. The
price of wedding favors can creep up very quickly if you have
a lot of wedding guests coming to your wedding.
The top choices of wedding favors recently
are things that are edible, things that you can plant or donations
to a special charities. If you plan on using any of these
three, you may wish to include a thank you note on each of
the favors, thanking your guests for helping to make your
wedding day special. The notes can be a great way to personalize
the favors. You can get very creative with the notes and what
you use to attach them to the favors. Using cut out wedding
shapes in your wedding colors with special ribbon to tie the
notes on is just one way to make them unique. So get creative
with how you present the wedding favors and what you place
them in. Try to find something that is elegant and goes with
your wedding's formality, colors and theme. 
Wedding favors should be individually
wrapped for easy distributing to the wedding guests. You could
choose to place your favors in cloth bags with string ties,
small decorative boxes, metal keepsake boxes, vases, mugs,
candy dishes, decorated gift bags, flower pots, even a small
wallets or change purses. You can decorate them yourself with
many things including, personalized ribbon in your wedding
colors with your names and wedding date on them, gold foil
labels printed on your computer, wedding shape beads or painted
wooden cutouts, silk or dried flowers or pearls.
Although it is quite common and tempting
to personalize your wedding favors with your names and wedding
day, we ask you to think about your wedding guests and wondering
if you would really want to walk around with someone else's
name on items you use. Leave the wedding date and names to
items that will be used right away like treats or things that
it’s not quite so noticeable like on pens and paper.
If you want to engrave or label items that will be used long
term, or your guests will be wearing, use more generic wording
like meaningful sayings or symbols like hearts or stars. This
way the items will be more likely used, and isn't that really
the goal?
Budget Tips: Check Dollar Stores for ideas on favors and/or
containers to hold your favors. Be sure you can buy enough
for all your guests; you don't want to come out short. If
you want to cut cost on centerpieces for your wedding guests'
tables, consider using your wedding favors. Find favors that
can also be used for centerpieces or find and decorate a unique
container or dish to hold and display the favors. |
