Wedding favors say that you
appreciate that your guests took time away from their busy schedule to be with
you on your wedding day.
Most brides and
grooms provide drinks and food for their guests, but if you want to do
something more, consider upping the ante with little gifts that say a lot.
Favors also add to the festivities
as part of the decorations. Coordinate your favors with the theme of your
wedding and wedding invitations, place cards, program, and menu sheets. One
elegant way to do this is to stay with the seasons.
Spring
Nothing says spring like pastel
colors, fresh greenery and flowers - lots of flowers.
Lay colored table cloths or heavy duty paper
table cloths underneath lace cloths.
Or
buy inexpensive wall paper in floral prints and use that as the table topper
with a gathered skirt around the table itself.
Of course you'll have floral
center pieces for each table at the reception but don't stop there. Scatter
blossom, buds, and petals across the table.
Favors that continue the
springtime theme include a Butterfly Wine Stopper for each guest or Miniature
Wooden Birdhouses with "Love Nest" inscribed on the front.
Love Blossoms is a card with a
modern botanical image featuring two detachable blossoms embedded with
real wild flower seeds.
Set a rose ball
candle in an attractive see through gift box besides each setting. Or a calla lily
vase shaped candle.
For do- it-yourselfers, have stickers or cards personalized
with your names and wedding date.
Attach
with a festive ribbon to color coordinated boxes filled pastel mints,
potpourri, or a single flower shaped candle.
Summer
Warm breezes, the beach, and
bright colors all say summer.
Hand Fans
in SSA paper provide cooling breezes and will be appreciated by your guests at
an outside reception.
Summer wedding receptions can be
dramatic or fun.
Tropical flowers, such
as orchids, proteas, and ginger aren't cheap but they are so unusual you only
need one or two in a vase.
Fill the vase
with lemons, kumquats or limes before inserting the flowers for even more
color.
Lay a runner of palm branches or
banana leaves down the tables to continue the tropical theme.
Evoke the beach even if you're
miles away by using vases filled with pale blue water and masses of baby's
breath.
Spread seashells around the
vases and a few starfish.
Add Seashell
Candles as the favors.
Mark each guest's
place with a Seaside Sand and Shell place holder which can later be used as a
photo frame.
Fall
Crisp days, gold and burgundy chrysanthemums, and falling
leaves put anyone in an autumn mood.
Instead of flowers, use piles of apples as the centerpiece for the
tables surrounded by Apple of My Eye apple shaped candles.
Pumpkins, squash, and gourds make a fall
floral arrangement when interspersed with yellow and red mums. If you're
ambitious hollow out the pumpkins and use them as containers for potted mums.
Mark each guest's place setting with a
Turning Leaves Bookmark with Burgundy Silk
Tassel or a
Leaf Tea Light and Place Card Holder with Autumn-themed Gift
Box.
Thanking your guests for joining you in your
wedding celebration lets them know how special they are. Favors don't have to
be expensive as long as they're thoughtful.
