Sweets
No modern wedding would be the same if it wasn’t for the wedding favors as they are often the main subject of conversation after the venue and brides dress. A bad choice of favors is probably worse than no favors at all. Luckily, there are a wide range of companies with a comprehensive set of ideas that will help you pick the right gift to match your wedding. To help you to decide, you will find below some of the more popular and unusual ideas to make your wedding day perfect.
One option for an easy wedding favor, especially popular with the ladies, are flowers. Fortunately, as far as the bride and groom are concerned, apart from choosing which flowers to have, there is little else that needs to be done. A popular choice, is a single red rose which, as a symbol of love, is very fitting at a reception. Using a single rose per guest gives an appearance of style and the placing them, can be left to staff immediately prior to the wedding reception.
Sweets can be an easy wedding favor to arrange and there are a number of ways to give them, such as presenting each guest with a small tin or basket filled with different sweets. A simpler, but possibly more interesting method, is to present the sweets in a large glass bowl, then, provide each wedding guest with a small bag or box to place their favourites sweets in. This means that you won’t have to wrap anything yourself and it should be acceptable to everyone as they get to chose only the type of sweets they like.
A novel idea that will kill two birds with one stone, is a small picture frame which can be used on the day as placeholders. This is a great idea because wrapping this type of wedding favor can put many people off, especially when there are a large number of guests. Almost all receptions have place names at the tables for the guests, so this is an ideal way to present the frame without the need to spend time and more money on wrapping paper, which will only be thrown away, and that is not very ecologically friendly.
A drinks coaster can be a practical and useful wedding favor. You can get them in a wide variety of styles, even get messages on them, to remind your friends and family of the happy day. If you are having a themed wedding, this may be just the right finishing touch that you need.
In the current thinking about global warming and carbon footprints, you may wish to opt for something eco-friendly. How about cards that are impregnated with flower seeds that can be planted after wedding? You will have a yearly reminder of the happy day when the flowers bloom. You can even get vegetable seeds for your hungrier friends.
A quirky idea for your guests could be a bottle stopper. Don’t dismiss this as nowadays, everybody is aware of the number of units of alcohol that should be consumed. This means that a bottle of wine may not be consumed in one night, so your gift will be perfect.
For a truly personal wedding favor, you can hire a professional photographer to take a picture of each guest as they arrive at the reception. Then, have a printer and glossy paper so that you can give everybody a picture of themselves looking great. You may even be able to arrange to have a slide show of the pictures so that everybody can see each other in their beautiful wedding outfits.
