Top 5 Wedding Favors And Why
By Dion Semeniuk
At most weddings, the bride and groom will offer some type
of small memento as a note of appreciation to family and friends,
more commonly known as wedding favors. As you will discover
in this article, the type of favors are widely varied but there
are some that are considered better choices than others. Remember,
wedding favors do not have to be expensive. In fact, this type
of gift can be something homemade. If you want to go all out,
that is certainly fine, but it is also not necessary. The focus
of the wedding favor is to let people know you are grateful
for their assistance with your wedding and/or reception or
that you are just honored they showed up. To help you get started,
we have provided you with the top five wedding favors.
Food
One of the most popular types of wedding favor is food, simply
because most people love to eat. A wonderful option that is
easy and inexpensive to make would be to purchase small black
favor boxes and then line them with white tissue paper. Place
Oreo cookies or dark chocolate covered peanuts inside and then
tie the box off with white and red ribbon. Watch everyone enjoy
the beautiful box but even more, the delicious goodies inside.
This is a very nice choice for both informal and formal weddings.
Flower Plant
The second of the top five wedding favors is a fresh plant
or flower seeds. With this, you can get as creative as you
want. A couple of ideas that work very nice is placing a miniature
plant or cacti in a small terra cotta planter. To make this
more personalized, the women (and men) in the wedding party
could get together for lunch to embellish the pots with ribbon,
craft paint, lace, and so on. You could also choose a simple
glass container, add three different seed packages, and punch
a hole through the upper corner of all three to tie together
with ribbon. These are appreciated because once planted, they
are a constant reminder of your cherished event.
Fragrant Soap
For the third of the top five wedding favors, you might also
consider fragrant soap or votive candles. For soap, this is
a lovely wedding favor to place in hotel rooms of out-of-town
guests. You can purchase all of the supplies at local hobby
or craft stores and then purchase your fragrant of choice such
as lemon grass, watermelon, sandalwood, white ginger, etc.
If you prefer, you can purchase pre-made soap or buy glycerin
and molds to make your own. As an extra romantic touch, look
at mold designs such as wedding bells, hearts, bubble designs.
Candles
Now for the fourth of the top five wedding favors, you can
never go wrong with votive candles, enjoyed by both men and
women. This type of wedding favor can again be purchased through
a hobby or craft store or on the Internet. If you prefer, you
can create your own candles, which involves melting wax, adding
color and fragrance, and then pouring into approved glass jars.
Choose several coordinating colors if you like and for the
simple yet elegant glass jars, add decorative touches such
as flowers, ribbon, or trinkets attached with hot glue.
Pewter
Finally, the last of the five top wedding favors would be pewter
or silver. You will find many wonderful choices such as picture
frames, paperweights, and bottle openers. With this type of
gift, you will probably pay a little more but this is a nice
gift for a more formal wedding, affluent group list, or members
of the bridal party. Remember, you can choose from hundreds
of wedding favors to include miniature bottles of wine, stationary
with last name and wedding date, golf balls and tees for the
sports enthusiasts, and the list goes on and on. Whether you
go with bubbles to be blown as you and your new spouse leave
the church to creative miniature baskets filled with candles,
candy or Jordon’s almonds and everything in between,
the key is to choose wedding favors that coordinate with your
wedding but that are also special for your type of guest list.
