Wedding Favor Ideas

By antaresjhw

When people attend weddings, they look forward to receiving a wedding favor.  Many people hold on to their trinkets for years as a special memento of the weddings they’ve attended.  Listed below are some wedding favors I’ve received over the years.

1.  CD.  The couple created a CD of their favorite jazz tunes and gave them to guests at the reception.  This is a practical wedding favor for your guests.  You could make a CD of love songs or you and your mate’s favorite songs.

2.  Refrigerator magnet. I’ve received variations of this wedding favor.  One couple gave a magnet of themselves and their wedding date printed on it.  Another couple gave out purple and gold silk flower magnets that had their names and wedding date printed on a small ribbon attached to it.

3.  Bubbles.  The small party favor bubbles are always a nice gift.  Guests get to use the bubbles to celebrate the couple as they leave the wedding ceremony.  Some people print out their names and wedding date on a file sticker and attach it to the bubble bottle.  Others just put a ribbon around the neck of the bottle.

4.  Candy.  I’ve received candy-coated almonds wrapped in colored netting and secured with a ribbon.  Also, I’ve enjoyed receiving a few Hershey’s Kisses with the words, “Here are a handful of the kisses from the new Mr. and Mrs.”

When deciding on a wedding  favor, you need to decide if you want it to be something your guests can keep or something temporary, like candy.  Whatever you decide, make it a token that represents you and your mate’s commitment to each other.
