Ideas for Wedding Favors - By: Jean Trutta

Much decorating, thought and planning goes into the wedding reception. Flowers, bows, color schemes, dinnerware, glasses, the meal, etc. are all things that need to be considered. Many decisions have to be made. You can inject a bit of humor, tie in the main color theme, or bring in a little added elegance with your choice of wedding favors.

If you're having a humungous wedding with 300+ guests, you may wish to seek out economy favors that can be personalized with your names and wedding date but that won't bust the budget. Custom imprinted shot glasses can be had for as low as 95 cents each. You can then fill these little glasses with candies. Many people do that and then wrap with a clear plastic or tulle and a ribbon to spruce the presentation up a bit. Your guests will love the idea of taking home shot glasses for their own home bar and private party time.

Those having a formal affair with 100-200 guests might consider favors to impress. Wine bottle stoppers, coasters, or place card frames make useful gifts. Wine bottle stoppers come with a variety of tops to match any theme or personality: hearts, star, grapes, double happiness, love dove, and fleur de lis. Coasters are another substantial gift in a variety of designs: calla lilies, polka dots, hearts, love, leaves, sea shells, photo coasters, and hearts. Mini frames in silver or golden finishes add a delightful touch. They help your guests find their proper seats. Later your guests can use these frames to display their own cherished photographs.

A couple having an intimate wedding at the beach or in a garden setting also have a nice array of wedding favors to choose from. Those going for an outdoorsy romantic affair can choose wedding favors with flower themes, lady bugs, birds, butterflies, or bamboo. Nautical events lend themselves to wedding favors with designs of sail boats, palm trees, flip flops, sand, shells, and lanterns. No matter what effect you are trying for at your wedding reception, be sure to give the choice of wedding favors a little extra thought. The favors are the take-home guests that your guests will look at long after your wedding day. You'll want the wedding favors to be of high quality and last so that your guests get a lot of enjoyment out of them. Give them wedding favors that you are proud of.
