Wedding planning requires a great amount of time and detail,
and no matter how much time you give yourself, there is
always something that is overlooked. Many couples forget
to include wedding favors in their planning even though
this is a way to say thank you to their guests. There are
many favors ideas that are not only meaningful but something
that will not be thrown away. Wedding favors can be unique,
thoughtful sentiments, which your guests will cherish for
years to come. There are countless ways to have your guests
remember your special day.
Wedding favors are meant to be keepsakes for your guests.
It is to remind them of your special day when you stood
before them and committed yourself to the one you love.
Favors are often tied into the overall theme of a couple’s
wedding and sometimes include the colors of the couple’s
wedding. There are countless favors ideas for any couples
taste. For instance a destination wedding could inspire
“local” ideas. Many couples choose to find a
favor, which is only available in the region in which they
are married. Whatever the favor, you want to make is personal.
One keepsake that will truly be heard again and again is
a personalized CD. Burn your favorite songs from each member
of your bridal party. Or, include you and your beloved’s
favorite love songs. You can also choose the top ten dance
songs you plan to play at your wedding. An added touch would
be a personalized label in which you include a photo of
the two of you and the date and location of your wedding
to serve as a timeless reminder of your day.
Can you dig it? I mean really dig your garden. The gift
of flowers or plants is something your guests will have
to nurture long after your wedding. You could include the
same flower as in your bouquet or a houseplant that would
be easy to care for. Couples who have a particular affection
for the environment would love this idea. You could also
incorporate the theme into your centerpieces, allowing a
larger plant or flower on the table and giving smaller versions
as favors.
Most wedding guests are looking forward to eating at your
wedding so why not give them something edible to take with
them. Treats can be anything from chocolates, homemade cookies,
mini cakes or jams. Your favorite tea or coffee is another
way to give a favor and serving the same at your reception
would be a nice touch. Wrapping the treats with a thoughtful
note will leave your guests reminded of your day, especially
when they eat or drink their gift.
Make it personal. Anything you can engrave or personalize
will remind your guests of your special day and that you
gave thanks. Glasses, frames, wine bottles, coozies, Christmas
ornaments, are all items that can be engraved and personalized.
Wedding favors are a way in which a couple says thank you.
Remember to keep your personal style in mind and have fun
with it. Let your personalities shine.
