Favors for your Wedding
By admin | May 4, 2010
Almost every measure of marriage preparation is exceedingly hard! For example, you are faced with designing your own blossom arrangements; still you slaying your own plants! Choose favorable colors? Haven’t they seen the light-colored hospital walls in your chamber? You couldn’t determine on a paint tone; how are you supposed to select the colors for your marriage?
Amidst all the burdens of wedding planning, there is actually one thing you will enjoy! Picking wedding favors to give out to guests at your wedding is actually fun! (It doesn’t have to color coordinate with anything!)
Favor is a root of the word favorite. So, does that mean you only give wedding favors to your favorite guests? Good guess, but thankfully no. If that was true, all the commotion with unhappy guests would make it impossible for the happy couple to ever leave for their honeymoon! Does favor means your favorite thing? That sounds more like it!
Wedding favors are a chance to show off your unique personality. You wouldn’t pick something ugly to thank guests for coming to your wedding. (Unless you’re tired of your friends and are ready for new ones.) The wedding favor from your wedding will stick with your guests for ages. It can either help them remember your wonderful generosity or how tacky the decorations were at your wedding! Worried about how the guests will react to your small inexpensive wedding? Give out chocolate as a favor; their memories will be gone the next day, along with the chocolate.
Candy buffets are a new unique twist to wedding favors. Guests will have the fun of building their own take home desert! Be aware, this idea is very expensive; it requires purchasing pounds and pounds of candy in bulk. But, if Oprah had a show with her favorite things for weddings, trust me; this would be on it!
Are you a crafty person who likes to make your own gifts rather than buy them? You can certainly design your own wedding favor ideas! Make your own candy, cookies, candles, potpourri sachets, or any other thing you can think of.
For those of you that would rather die than individually handcraft five hundred wedding favors, the internet is a great place to look for ideas! You can find and purchase all of your wedding favors online; the selection of favors is endless. Are you having a themed wedding? Why not pick wedding favors to go with it? (No thought required there.) Use toy boats filled with candy for a beach wedding. For a winter wedding, the ideas are endless! Give your guests cookie cutters or an ornament. Like snowflakes? Are either you or your fianc? theatre buff? Can’t resist having a Hollywood-style wedding? No fear! Consider movie themed favors such as tiny top hats filled with candy, clapboard key chains, and clapboard or film-reel style picture frames. Or if you want to get super creative, burn a CD for your guests with your favorite film classics. Do either of you have an Italian heritage? Order cannolis from your local grocery store bakery to use as favors. How about fortune cookies for favors? Everyone likes fortune cookies; it doesn’t matter whether you’re Chinese. Many online favor companies have these available for sale; they will even let you personalize your fortunes. Other ideas include Japanese saki, marzipan candles from Scandinavia , and Swiss chocolates. Whichever favor you choose, have fun! Because after you’re finished with this, it’s back to murdering your poor plants!

We had boxes of chocolate truffles for our guests. Each box had 3 pieces (pistachio, coconut, hazelnut). The box was wrapped with silver paper and tied with a turquoise ribbon (to match our wedding colors) and our names and the date were printed on the paper. We actually ordered a few too many and we enjoyed them on our 1 year anniversary. =)

I’m doing the candy bar, with 5 large vases on the table with little scoops and I’m filling the jars with red and white candy (my wedding colors) I’m having the bags on the side, and having the guests scoop the candy that they want, if they want any. Then nothing gets left behind, or goes to waste. I am also dipping pretzel rods into wedding mold and shapes, and having bride and groom pretzels on the tables!

I am interested to know the answer to this question as we have no idea what to do for wedding favours, other than the typical shot glasses or wine flutes. To be a little but more unique, we are playing with the idea of simple playing cards with our name and wedding date on it, because it is something our guests will probably actually use again, but I am worried it will be very expensive, or tacky.

I’m doing personalized Jones soda, in our theme color. We will have a picture of us on one side, and a personal message on the other. Too cute!

We had these "Slice of Love" Pizza cutters: http://www.favorsandaccessories.com/slice-of-love-pizza-cutter.html
We wanted favors that people would find useful and still get compliments on them.

We’ve both been looking exhaustively for wedding favors that will be useful to female and male guests, and these gorgeous Murano Moon Wine Stoppers http://www.favorwarehouse.com/pc/D2744/wine-wedding-favors/Murano+Art+Deco+Collection+Moon+Wine+Stopper.html from FavorWarehouse.com are looking like the winning option (though we still have a Top 5, lol)! I would personally be thrilled to receive one of these at a wedding, and my fiancee agrees, which is what we’re really going for. Plus, we’re both ‘night people’, so moon-shaped favors will be reflective of that as well. Everything I’ve found at this site is super well-priced, and they even guarantee the lowest price online. Hope you love these too, or find something here that feels perfect

My fiance and I actually decided to have two different wedding favors – one for the women, and another for the men. Instead of letting the decision be something else to stress about, I picked my favorite, and he picked his! I’ve certainly learned to take a lot of deep breaths planning this wedding, and this was just one more way we found a way to work together
We chose the following favors from PlanningPad.com. They go well together, but are still unique. Hope this helps!
