Wedding Favors For The Wedding Of Your Dreams

By Juliette Crane


Wedding favors are one of the more interesting aspects of planning a wedding but often left a little late in the preparations. Don't worry if you can't think of anything as there is a whole industry set up supplying treats for guests. With this in mind, it should be one less item you have to worry about for your big day because your favors might just be a phone call away.

An easy wedding favor option is flowers which really don't take much to arrange but guests can enjoy. The big plus with this option is the ease and speed with which flowers can be organized.

You might consider giving your guests a single red rose as a favor and this is extremely appropriate because a rose is a symbol of love plus roses do not need to be wrapped. Placing the rose on the wedding reception table where the guest are seated is a nice touch and doesn't need to be done until the last minute.

Unfortunately flowers do no appeal to everyone, but with three in every four receptions using candy, this is an easy wedding favor that will. However, there is an even easier way to give candy and also help you to save money on centerpieces. This just needs a large quantity of various candies placed in a large bowl on the middle of the table.

Supplying each wedding guest with a small tin or other presentation container so they can fill it with whatever candy they wish. This could be called a self service gift because all you have to do is supply the candy and something to place it in.

If you prefer not to give your guests more to eat then another option is a small picture frame and if you like, it can be used on the day as placeholders. Where possible, try to find a way around wrapping wedding favors, especially the likes of picture frames which could take a considerable amount of time, not to mention the cost. By using the picture frames as placeholders provides a way around this, making it a gift that does not need to be wrapped.

An easy wedding favor that might appeal is to have the photographer take a digital picture of each guest and then present it to them at the wedding reception as they arrive. The photos can be printed out whilst the reception goes on and the guests will have a pleasant surprise at the end of the evening when they leave as their photo will be waiting for them. If you are really stuck for a wedding favor idea, why not ask the photographer to take a picture of people as they arrive, to be presented later at the reception. Many photographers will also have a projector so could arrange a looping slide show of all the photos he had taken of the guests.
