Weddings: Unique Wedding Favors

by Ray Smith

Planning a wedding can be fun, stressful, but fun at the same time and one of the more interesting aspects is organizing the wedding favors. As a rule of thumb when organizing events, keep things simple as they have a habit of becoming complicated without any human intervention. With this in mind, it should be one less item you have to worry about for your big day because your favors might just be a phone call away.

If all other options fail you can always choose the easy wedding favor of flowers which can also decorate the reception at the same time. Owing to the nature of flowers, they can usually be left until later in the preparations which means the bride and groom will have less to worry about.

Red roses always look attractive and of course they don’t have to be wrapped like many other flowers. Using a single rose per guest gives an appearance of style and placing them can be left to staff immediately prior to the wedding reception commencing so they look very fresh.

More and more people decide an easy wedding favor to give their guests is candy in a presentation tin or box. I like the idea that a number of receptions have started to use where the costly centerpiece is done away with completely. Now, how simple is a large glass bowl filled with candy going to be in the centre of the table?

Supplying each wedding guest with a small tin or other presentation container so they can fill it with whatever candy they wish. All you have to do is let each guest have the option to take whatever candy they like and you won’t have anything more to do.

An alternative to using candy is a picture frame which can double up as a place holder just for the occasion. Although presentation is everything, there are ways around wrapping wedding favors and picture frames are an ideal example of how you can avoid this task. By using the picture frames as placeholders provides a way around this, making it a gift that does not need to be wrapped.

For those of you that like an easy wedding favor that is a little different then why not use a local photographer, you can have each guest pose for a shot which can be presented to them at the wedding reception. If he brings along a printer you can distribute the photos before your guests begin to leave the reception. Everyone will appreciate this wedding favor as it is a reminder they can cherish for many years. Many photographers will also have a projector so could arrange a looping slide show of all the photos he had taken of the guests.
