Wedding Favors
Wedding favors are a classy way to thank your guests
for sharing in your special day with you. Wedding favors are also
nice memories for your guests to take home with them to remind them
of the celebration. There are many different types of wedding favors
that one can give away. It's important to keep the favor related
to the wedding or the theme to provide for continuity.
Wedding favors can be anything you want them to be as long as they
are creative and provide a nice reminder of the big day.
There is no specific time that one should give the guests their
wedding favors. Couples can hand them out at the beginning or the
end of the event. For those who want to hand them out at the beginning,
they can have a table set up beside the receiving line and the guests
can take the wedding favors after they have congratulated the bride
and groom.
Couples can also hand them out at the end by just having a table
set up by the door for guests to pick the wedding favors up on their
way out. Another popular way to give out favors is to have them
on the tables where the guests will be sitting. You can put the
person's name on them and this is also a great way to help organize
the seating.
Another choice a couple has to make is whether to purchase ready-made
wedding favors or make their own. This choice will depend on the
event budget and the talent of the bride, groom or wedding party
members for making beautiful and creative favors. If you choose
to purchase ready-made wedding favors there are many places that
specialize in offering wide selections.
Besides wedding boutiques that will offer a wide variety, there
are also party supply stores and discount stores that will generate
creative ideas. If you opt to make your own, these places can be
a great place for inspiration in making your own wedding favors.
Here are just a few ideas for personalized wedding favors. For
each of these, just be sure to attach the name of the guest on them.
It's also a good idea to attach the name of the bride and groom
as well as the date to remind the guest where the wedding favor
came from.
- A bottle of bubbles wrapped in tulle, lace or cellophane
- A chocolate bar favor with the wrapping personalized
- Hard candy pieces wrapped in tulle, lace or cellophane
- Soap wrapped with a personalized label
- Coffee grinds or beans
- Flower wedding seeds
- Bottle of wine
There are many places a person can find wedding favor ideas. Once
the choice has been made, however, think about distributing the
workload and let family and friends help you personalize the favors
or make them if they need to be made. Remember, that you don't have
to give out these small mementos, but guests who receive them generally
consider them a favor.
