Favor Ideas
Traditional and Unique Wedding Favors
It is a charming
gesture traceable to the ancient Roman’s, who offered sugared almonds as
a traditional wedding favor, one that is symbolic of a marriage with its
sweet and bittersweet representation of sensations. Settlers of the Wild
West possibly gave jars of honey, jam, even homemade candles or small
arrangements of dried flowers as their wedding favors.
This day and time hosts a multitude of choices when considering wedding
favors. As wedding favors can really be just about anything as long as
they impart your personal reflection of style and choice in sharing your
wedding with those who are close to you, as a meaningful message of love
and appreciation as well as the pleasure of acquaintances beholding to
such a wonderful occasion.
Wedding favors gracefully display as your special way of saying thank
you, at the place setting of each guest as well as traditionally on a
table display near the reception halls entrance. However, they can
always be dressed up as a personal touch in pretty boxes, gathered in
netting, ribbon or even engraved depending upon your tastes, style and
wedding theme and of course your wedding budget.
Hand made tags are always a good choice to accompany your wedding favors
and are a creative way to share a message if you wish. While breakaway
centerpieces of floral wedding favors serve as decoration and favors of
small vases of tiny floral arrangements, just remember to let the guests
know the secret of these wedding decorations before they leave.
One especially endearing
presentation of wedding favors is allowing the children of the
congregation to carry baskets filled with your wedding favors passing
them out while
making sure not to leave anyone out of the fun. On the other hand, you
can gracefully give them to each guest personally, as they take their
leave.
All it really takes is some creativity and thoughtfulness to come up
with some unique and wonderful ideas of the most simplest of gifts as
your wedding favors that convey to your wedding guests that you are
thinking of them at this time of celebration.
You can get all sorts of
ideas by browsing gift stores and boutiques or by visiting specialty
shops that may have just what you need. Ideas can come to you by looking
through your favorite magazines and even online websites. The
possibilities are limitless for the perfect choice of your
wedding favors.
If you plan you wedding on or near a holiday you can always take
advantage of holiday themed wedding favors such as dolling up a candy
cane, ornaments or just about anything else that would be appropriate to
the season. A wedding planned for the Fourth of July weekend will be
well for bundles of sparklers. Candles and candleholders are always a
winner as a wedding favor as they are radiant and classy.
Wedding favors can be
anything that makes sense to you and catches the attention of your
guests, even a donation to your favorite charity made out in each guests
name, then all you would need to do is have your place cards made that
state this to your wedding guests, or just make a simple announcement.
A few suggestions for heartwarming wedding favors:
1. Start with tiny painted pails and fill with anything that your
heart desires, tie with a ribbon arrangement.
2. A family collection of favorite and original recipes is always
a big hit.
3. Absolutely, anything home made is sure to be a success. As
there is, nothing like the feeling of you made this with your own two
little hands.
4. Miniature heart shape or personally hand painted boxes filled
with goodies. Anything heart shaped will serve the purpose no matter
what they are.
5. Small tins of chocolates, nuts, cookies or mints are always a
special treat.
6. Chinese take out boxes make for an interesting container for
wedding favor surprises that you can fill with just about anything. If
you
are feeling creative, you might try decoupage or painting the outsides
of the boxes as a decorative touch.
7. Miniature photo albums are a sweet sentiment, perhaps even
placing a picture of the newly weds inside would be an extra thoughtful
touch.
8. Springtime weddings are wonderfully themed for passing out
flower bulbs or seed packets as your wedding favor, one that keeps on
giving.
9. Those small journals covered with fabric with a hand written
thank you inside each one is sure to please any wedding guest.
The most important thing to remember about wedding favors is they are
supposed to be simple fun Thank You on your wedding day.
