Unique Wedding Favors
Wedding favors are mementos given by the newlyweds to their wedding guests as a symbol of gratitude for sharing their special day. The gesture of giving wedding favors can be traced back to ancient Rome and has become a lovely custom in many cultures. Sugar-coated almonds are traditional wedding favors. Other edible sweets such as a piece of the groom's cake, cookies and chocolate favors have also been presented over the years. Today, couples are being more creative with their selection of wedding favors. Some unique wedding favors include lottery tickets wrapped in a fancy ribbon, a lucky Bamboo plant, personalized playing card, telephone calling cards, gift cards to local stores (such as Starbucks, Blockbuster, etc.), or a donation to your favorite charity in the name of each guest. How about tea or coffee as a wedding favor? A personalized bag of coffee, or a heart shaped tea infuser, is a great way to make your unique favor last. You'll know that one day soon you will bring a morning smile to your guests face, as well as a delicious cup of coffee or tea. Want a wedding favor that is appreciated and unique? Make it edible! Edible chocolate wedding favors are as popular with guests as they are with brides, and who does not love chocolate? Chocolate wedding favors can add a touch of sculptural art to all of your guest's tables. They are unique and sure to make every guest - young and old - smile when they arrive at their assigned seat. Finally, they are absolutely the most delicious way to say thank you to all who attend your wedding. The wedding favors can also be designed with a specific season of the year in mind. Having a fall wedding? Include autumn leaf candles or tulip bulbs wrapped in a sheet of tulle and tied with a ribbon. A winter wedding, include holiday ornaments or holiday scented potpourri; a spring wedding, include a pot of fresh flowers or herbs. For a Valentine’s Day wedding, the wedding favor can be anything heart shaped such as a picture frame, candy conversation hearts, or a cookie cutter with a recipe attached. You are only limited by your budget and the size of your tables. Do not have a wedding favor that overwhelms the other decorations and dishes on the tables. Everyone will enjoy the wedding favor you provide and it will give them many fond memories of your very special day. Your options for a unique wedding favor are only limited by your imagination.
