Your wedding is surely going to be special for you but how about making it equally memorable for your guests with wedding favors or rather, unique wedding favors. Your guests will not only be talking about how the couple looked and who else was there but how creative you got with the wedding favor that they never really expected to receive. Guests show their love by making effort to attend your wedding party. Your way of returning that love would be a unique wedding favor and don’t worry there are so many ideas and themes to choose from. You won’t find any difficulty in finding the perfect wedding favor to suit you and your pocket.
To begin with, it must be decided whether you want to gift a wedding favor that will provide a one-time pleasurable experience like a cake or pastry or, you want to give a keepsake that your guests will cherish year after year.
Event managers have also taken up planning for weddings in a big way. they pick themes for the entire dcor, the party wear for guests & the couple & even cuisine. A popular theme wedding is the casino look. &, the right wedding favor to go with a casino theme wedding is surely a royal flush with ‘Lucky in love’ card magnets. they add to the charm of roulette tables & slot machines around you & are remembered for long afterwards.
The concept of wedding favors is an elderly two. Usually, in Indian household, it’s a completed thing to give utensils to all guests. The utensils are inscribed with the name of the couple & the date of the wedding. Something less lasting like a bouquet of orange flowers is given to guests at a italian wedding. Youngsters today are, however, getting more creative & funky in choosing their wedding favors. We’ve seen shower gel bottles, frog dolls for tea lights or ‘key to my heart’ chrome bottle stoppers being given out as matchless wedding favors.
Often, an idea is to set up chair-place holders to direct your guests to the right sitting place for them. This saves time in giving out individual wedding favors. Seeds that can be used later & grow ‘with love’ or shells that serve as card holders can be taken away by the guests after the ceremony is over as matchless wedding favors. Silver-plated pears that can serve both as showpieces or refrigerator magnets are much in vogue these days. Speaking of seating arrangements & tables, creatively made salt & pepper shakers are great giveaways as well.
in case most of your guests are going to be young people who are planning or looking out to marry themselves shortly, give out an oversized engagement ring that comes with key chain hoops. Not a wedding favor, it will end up being a great utility item as well.
As tradition goes, adding names and dates to gifts for your guests makes them all the more special. If you choose a wedding gift in steel or silver, having them inscribed becomes easier. You can get both stylish and contemporary with a special miniature wine bottle design key ring/multipurpose bar tools. Popular items like silver bells, silver chrome bottle openers and steel pizza cutters are a nice choice as wedding favors too. Your creativity need not end with choosing a wedding favor though. Give your guests a love couplet or famous quote or song inscribed on the wedding favor. It will keep them remembering you and quoting you year after year. You can think about Shelly, Keats or Shakespeare for inspiration on this count.
Candles as return gifts for guests can be a super idea too. With plenty of interest being generated in Feng Shui and meditation these days, you can get special Chinese tapestry votive candles or those designed as a wedding cake. Be sure your guests are always going to keep the candles and not burn them away.
No matter how much in a rush or how busy you are as a host, do take out time to arrange for wedding favors & matchless wedding favors for your guests. Something as simple as a pocket calculator as well as a kitchen timer can add a memory to your wedding that will stay with your guests & relatives forever.
