Wedding Favors
One of the things I love about being a wedding planner is the ability to pay close attention to the details of the day. Spending extra time orchestrating the finer details of a wedding not only allows the couple to feel like the event is classy but the guests feel special and well taken care of because of the extra effort put towards the small things. Having a little something the guests can take with them after your event can be a great way of saying 'thanks' for their support and love on your special day.
Here are a few tips and when it comes to having the right wedding favor for your big day!
- Always make it personal. Give a simple, small gift that gives the guest yet one more glimpse into who you are as a couple. I recently read about a couple that gave all their guests hand-made sock puppets because the groom used one when he proposed to his bride. How cute!
- In planning your wedding it's highly likely that you used a theme to keep the whole event cohesive and flowing. Try to incorporate something that is in-line with your wedding theme when deciding on your wedding favor. In addition to a thoughtful gift, your guests will leave with another tangible memory of the day.
- Take ideas from your outdoor venue. If you are getting married at a very scenic location or the affair is outdoors (like so many beautiful weddings here in Colorado!) try incorporating a wedding favor that ties in with the locale of your event. Give each guest a beautiful ornate seashell if you were married on the beach, or give everyone a potted tropical flower if you were married at a botanical garden. How about a pine cone Christmas ornament if you were married in the Rocky Mountains? Let nature be your creative guide when it comes to the finer details of an outdoor wedding.
- Ask a friend to help. If you are short on time, ask a willing friend to be in charge of your wedding favors. At our wedding, we asked friends to pass out water bottles to all of our guests because we were married outside and there was some hiking involved. As an added touch, we handmade individual labels for each bottle -- it was a big hit!
- Keep it simple. Don't feel pressure to do too much. It's very easy to keep the wedding favor classy and still inexpensive. Time is worth so much more than any dollar sign so, if you're short on cash try making a simple, small, hand made gift for all your guests. If you have a larger guest list then ask your bridesmaids or family members to help.
- Do double duty. Your wedding favor can also easily be the place card for all your guests when they dine at your reception. It's a really simple way to personalize the wedding reception for your guests, and the only added effort is in placing the gifts at the correct seats as well as adding a name tag.
- Always have fun! Chances are, you and your fiance are attracted to one another because of some amazing personality traits that each of you have. Embrace these aspects of each other when deciding on a gift to give your guests and have fun with it. Remember to enjoy yourself when making, assembling, wrapping, or placing your gifts out for your guests.
I hope these ideas help you as you plan your wedding day details!
