Even though not many people would expect to get anything when attending a wedding, handing out wedding favors to wedding guests has become more of a tradition in modern day weddings. A lot of people will however confess to be very happy with some sort of souvenir to remember the wedding by – a favor. The truth of the matter is that not all people can afford to throw a flashy wedding and on it add an expensive wedding favor. We all know how heavy a financial burden the wedding couples have planning the official wedding ceremony alone, even without the events.
However, a wedding favor doesn’t have to be an expensive thing for guests to appreciate it. Just the thought of getting something from the marrying couples is a nice gesture in itself that the couple appreciates your presence during the special occasion. What makes an inexpensive nice wedding favor? Just about anything that can cross your mind as a good favor can be turned into a wedding favor – from jewelry to chocolates etc. a favor is never limited to anything specific and it even doesn’t have to have the sign of your wedding although some indication of the day and event can be a good idea for a memento.
A lot of things which can be bought in wholesale can be an ideal wedding favor, and the rest will be filled up by your creativity and hard work. Factor in a unique something perhaps your wedding date, wedding season or something both of you or one of you is known to like and try associate the passion with the favor. If you both like tennis, perhaps that’s how both of you met, you can generate a great wedding favor from that.
You can consider fortune cookies which are very easy and cheap but nice gift for a wedding favor. Print out as many of the fortune cookie sayings as possible and put on each of the tables. If possible, try and make the fortunes relate to a current event or the wedding so that all the guests will know that it was a well-thought wedding favor specially made for the occasion. Another great and creative idea is a deck of cards, which provides a lot of possibilities for writing, attaching, or sticking wedding-related things on the cards.
A word of caution though, better hand this type of wedding favors as almost the last thing as you may end up having a few drunken tables of people who have forgotten about the occasion and start playing poker. Your other option is Gourmet Coffee Packs, put different flavors of coffee to different tables so that the wedding guests can trade the flavors off. Put the coffee in tulle and add a beautiful ribbon on it (preferably one that matches the colors of your bridal party) around the favor. Adult guests in particular will really love and appreciate this wedding favor.
Wedding favors are an upcoming trend that is not only easy to make but a great source of fun for your guests to receive. When planning your wedding, factor in what wedding favor you would love to have and wait to see the impact it will have on your wedding day and among the wedding guests.
