Favors For Your Guests

Wedding favors are one of the most important parts of the reception. Your guests are going to take one thing home with them to remember this day, so make it a good one! Many couples will try to include favors for their guests that provide a unique reflection of the event and of the couple's personalities. A big emphasis is being placed today on using cheap wedding favors that are original to the couple; of course, even with original favors no one will be totally unique, but there are enough choices out there that there's a good chance none of your guests will encounter quite the same favor again.

The best way to make your favors unique is to include the names of the couple as well as the wedding date somewhere on the favor. The great thing about wedding favors is that they come in such a vast range of different items, and virtually all of these items can include monograms. One very popular favor idea continues to be chocolates, with the original twist coming in the way that the chocolates are packaged. Packaging, in fact, continues to be the way in which most wedding favors convey the sense of originality, whether small gift boxes or bags are used to encase the present. Miniature items to consider include sets of teaspoons, tiny monogrammed bottles of champagne, paper weights, and coaster. Some couple may also choose to use small cameras as favors, so that the guests have a gift and can also contribute to the memories!

Make Your Gifts Unique

You will probably prefer that the gifts you give out as thank-yous and mementos on your wedding party are personalized. Gifts that have been engraved or otherwise personalized are a great way to add a unique touch to any favor or other type of wedding gift. In the strictest sense, personalized, unique gifts often mean that the name of the bride and groom, as well as the date of the wedding, is found somewhere on the gift. It can either be a label, a ribbon, or an engraving.

Children's Gifts

Many wedding parties include children in the form of a ringbearer and/or flower girl, sometimes more than one of each! Personalized children's gifts are often given to each of the kids as a way of thanking them for participating in the bride & groom's special day.

To satisfy this criteria, there are several types of children's gifts that are appropriate. Little girls, like big girls, love jewelry and this is always a viable option for the flower girl. You might also consider a framed picture of the bride and the flower girl or a small purse or handbag. Ring bearers will appreciate banks, sports memorabilia, pens or storage boxes. Like the other gifts, the children's gifts should be personalized through an engraving.
