Wedding Favors
Wedding favors are given as an incentive to those
who attend the party. Wedding favors are a nice way of saying "thank
you" to all your guests for being with you on your special
day. The favors also serve as decorations during the wedding reception.
Since a wedding only comes once in your lifetime, it's not bad
to splurge a little more money on wedding favors.
However, if you are on a budget, you may wish to chose wedding
favors that are most cost effective.
Wedding favors greatly speak of the couple themselves. Though there
are general wedding favors, which are worthy in themselves, creative
couples tend to express their own personalities and desires through
their choices of wedding favors.
Expressive, unique wedding favors sometimes tend to be more expensive
than the standard ones. The financial factors are something the
couples always consider before all else so be sure to include wedding
favors in the budget right upfront and not as an afterthought.
One of the things the couple needs to decide in terms of wedding
favors is the parting message they want to give to their guests.
From there they can think of a simple symbol that can express it.
You would be surprised how many ideas that can be thought of as
simple, inexpensive and memorable when it comes to wedding favors.
For example, suppose the soon-to-be-married couple are both environmentalists.
Instead of just a glass with a date and place of the reception,
you can add in your wedding favors live seeds, which the guests
can plant as they go home. For couples who love poetry, a collection
of poetry bound together in a simple book is a unique idea.
Sometimes the wedding favor is only as good as its package. A cheap
box designed elegantly is a valuable wedding favor no matter how
simple inside the gift is. There are couples who order a number
of wedding favor boxes and place inside each one of them different
flower petals. Instead of giving guests something physical and visual,
their parting gift is olfactory such a smell of a beautiful garden.
Of course, personally made items are valued gifts and can be given
as favors. A couple can come up with something personal that would
reflect not only them but also the family as well.
Wedding favors such as a picture of the couple with the whole family
can be given. A simple tweak in Photoshop will bring out an image
the couple personally created and that guests can keep forever.
No matter what types of wedding favors you choose, the important
aspect to remember is to make them unique, personal and memorable.
If you keep to these guidelines, everyone will be happy to receive
your favor.
