Wedding Favor Ideas


Choosing Favors with Your Guests in Mind

A wedding favor is your opportunity to thank your guests for being part of your special day. In that light, a wedding favor should be more than a simple trinket and should be, as much as possible, a thoughtful gift from you to them. That doesnt mean that you need to spend a large amount of time or money on this project. You should give it a little bit of thought so that your special gift does not end up gathering dust or in a trash can.

While your wedding may be the most important day in your life, most likely your guests will not want to commemorate it forever. Your goal, then, in choosing or creating wedding favors, is to find something that will be both a memory of this special day and will be meaningful to your guests.

One way to do this is to personalize each individual gift. If you plan to give framed pictures or albums, consider including pictures of yourself with each guest either from the wedding or from prior to the wedding. If you would prefer to use a picture of you as a couple, write a note and sign each picture. That will help each guest to feel noticed and special.

Consumable wedding favors can be very nice, as well. Often distant relatives and old friends would prefer chocolate or champagne to a trinket which they are not likely to display. Several online companies and local businesses offer custom printing of labels, so that you can have your names and wedding dates printed on the wrapper of candy bars or of wine bottles.

If you are using alcohol as a wedding favor, you may also want to have a separate childrens favor. A small coloring book has the double advantage of making the younger guests at your wedding feel included and of keeping them busy during the less exciting parts of the reception.

Dont feel that you need to give the same wedding favor to every guest, either. Consider reserving the more expensive favors such as engraved money clips, printed champagne flutes, or personalized picture frames for your immediate family and wedding party, and having a simpler hand-made favor for everyone else.

The truth is, those close to you are the only ones who are likely to keep such things forever or to display them, so its okay to play favorites. Remember, your wedding favors are a gift to your guests, and therefore should be purchased with them, not you, in mind.

If you are going to be married in a Las Vegas wedding chapel, it probably makes more sense to pay the fifty-five dollars for a simple ceremony and take the remainder of your money for having a great honeymoon either on the strip, or somewhere else.

The Las Vegas WeddingIt seems as if Las Vegas is the place to go for quick, spur of the moment decisions, whether it be dropping your money down on a bet or marrying your boyfriend or girlfriend in front of Elvis at a drive thru chapel. Your dress fit, your groom appeared on schedule, the Justice of the Peace or clergyperson has blessed your union, the pictures have been taken, and your day is complete - almost. The implicit political statements made by interracial or gay wedding cake toppers are empowering, but often the marrying couple are known as silly or funny and want their wedding to reflect their humor and wit. Borrowing a girlfriends wedding gown can seem tacky (its not a scarf or a sweater, after all), so another option in procuring a cheap wedding dress is to buy a used wedding dress. It would also be a good idea to position yourself toward the wind, instead of your back toward it, as it will be less likely that a gust of wind will blow your dress up. Melt the vinyl record over a bowl in the microwave to serve as a base for the 1970s wedding centerpiece, then shop for little items that will remind guests of the era.

In fact, if someone gave you a bridal shower with handmade favors, perhaps they would be able to make a few more for the wedding.
Congratulations and best wishes! Depending on the number of attendants, the colors in your wedding, the time of year, and your budgetary constraints, choosing the flowers for your wedding bouquet can be one of the most fun tasks on your wedding schedule. Also, do not forget to research online. Marriage licenses can be purchased until midnight during the week, and twenty-four hours a day Friday through Sunday; so you dont have to wait to marry the person you love. In addition inquire about any credentials or degrees that they may have in photography. Make notes about what you do and do not like.
