Some Ideas for Wedding Favors
No modern wedding would be the same if it wasn’t for the wedding favors and they are often the main subject of conversation after the venue and brides dress. Fortunately, there are a number of different options which are very easy to arrange at the last minute. This is important because it can take a great deal of stress when you realize the big event is rapidly approaching and these haven’t been organized.
One option for an easy wedding favor, especially popular with the ladies is flowers. The preparation for flowers is almost non existent other than deciding on what flowers to use which can be ordered reasonably close to the big day.
You might consider giving your guests a single red rose as a favor and this is extremely appropriate because a rose is a symbol of love plus roses do not need to be wrapped. Placing the rose on the wedding reception table where the guest are seated is a nice touch and doesn’t need to be done until the last minute.
Unfortunately flowers do no appeal to everyone, but with three in every four receptions using candy, this is an easy wedding favor that will. However, there is an even easier way to give candy and also help you to save money on centerpieces. This just needs a large quantity of various candies placed in a large bowl on the middle of the table.
To complete this idea, a small plain bag or carton can be left for each wedding guest to put their candy into. This really is easy because each guest can choose whatever candy they like and there isn’t a single piece of wrapping in sight.
Although candy is popular, you may wish to give your guests a picture frame which is longer lasting and more useful. Often when receptions have large guest lists, wrapping wedding favors can seem like a nightmare so needs to be avoided if possible. If you use the frames to hold the place cards however, wrapping will not be necessary.
An easy wedding favor that might appeal is to have the photographer take a digital picture of each guest and then present it to them at the wedding reception as they arrive. The photos can be printed out whilst the reception goes on and the guests will have a pleasant surprise at the end of the evening when they leave as their photo will be waiting for them. If you are really stuck for a wedding favor idea, why not ask the photographer to take a picture of people as they arrive, to be presented later at the reception. Many photographers will also have a projector so could arrange a looping slide show of all the photos he had taken of the guests.
