Wedding Favor Ideas - Ideas for Presenting and Displaying Favors
for
Weddings, Bridal Showers & Baby Showers
brought to you by Beau-coup
Wedding Favors
Wedding favors, bridal shower favors and baby shower favors can be just
as much a part of the table decorations and overall look of the reception as flowers, settings, and linen. It is your way of saying
thank you to each person attending your wedding or shower, so the presentation
as well as the gift itself should reflect your intentions. Some thoughtful touches and creativity can speak volumes. |

• Use pretty favors packaging. Beautiful
wrapping (gift
boxes, ribbon,
custom labels, etc.), and taking the time to make wedding
favors look clean, and tasteful will show the effort no matter
how simple the gift is inside.
• Personalize
it. Giving wedding
favors is a gesture of thanks, and mostly it is the thought
that counts. Make wedding favors more personal by engraving, using personalized
ribbon, or printing your names and wedding date, or a
unique message. Hand printing gives it an added personal touch,
but if you do not have the best handwriting, many people hire
professional calligraphers to pen a message on their wedding
favors, or favors
packaging. Laser engraving also is a classy yet inexpensive
option, such as personalized
wedding favor chopstick sets.
• Let your wedding
favors also be functional.
Attach a tag with the guests' names, and their table numbers
to the wedding favors, and set them out on a table near the
entrance to double as escort cards.
• Tie a hang
tag to the wedding
favors with your new monogram, or the date of the wedding.
Tags can be any shape, size, or color, and are another great
way to get creative. Make them yourself for that personal
touch.
• A popular
idea is to have breakaway centerpieces, where the centerpiece
is made up of several elements that come apart, each part
able to be taken home by guests as wedding favors. Breakaway
centerpieces are often an arrangement of flowers in several smaller vases.
You can do this with packaged wedding favors, stacking the
boxes in the middle and inviting guests to each take a favor
before heading home.
• Save space on the table for the food, and instead,
hang wedding
favors from the chair. This is a creative way to present
your wedding favors, and also dress up the reception chairs.
Use a bag with
handles to package the wedding favors, or find a way to
attach ribbon to the wedding
favors in order to hang it on a chair.
• Have a wedding favors tree. This idea works really
well with Christmas weddings. Give ornaments as wedding favors, or something lightweight, like a bookmark,
or a charm. If a Christmas
tree is out of season, get a potted tree. Make your own wedding
favors with glassine bags filled with candy. Punch holes in
the bags and string them up with twine around the branches
of a tree. Wedding guests can untie the bags at the end of
the evening for a sweet memento.
• Pile wedding
favors in baskets set by the door with a note reminding
guests to take one before parting.
• Give the kids something helpful to do at the wedding
reception. Ask them to walk around with baskets of wedding
favors and pass one out to each wedding guest. Make sure
they make it to each table and do not leave anyone out.
• Candles make classy wedding
favors and are a brilliant approach to lighting for the
wedding reception. They are romantic, decorative, and cost
effective. With the a huge selection of sizes, styles, colors,
designs, and scents, you can fit candles in with just about
any wedding
decoration theme.
Match candles,
or candle holders to your wedding reception colors. Create
a monochromatic look with different shades of your favorite
color. Or choose colors that boldly contrast each other.
• If you're having a floral centerpiece, opt for tea
lights so they don't compete with the flowers.
• You can also use candles instead of flowers for the
centerpiece. Try a cluster of chunky candles in varying heights.
• Votives
and votive holders also make great wedding
guest favors. Get them personalized,
or just choose a stylish votive holder that your wedding guests
would care to bring home and reuse. |
