Incorporate wedding favors as part of a table setting.
It's traditional to give wedding guests small favors to take home after the reception, but many cheap trinkets given as favors end up in the garbage or junk drawer. Instead, give wedding favors your guests will enjoy and use. If you plan carefully, you can even use wedding favors as part of your table centerpieces or decorations, reducing the strain on your budget.
Edible Wedding Favors
Edible wedding favors are always a hit with guests, and they're easy on your budget, too. Consider gourmet chocolates or truffles; small gift boxes with two or four truffles look luxurious and don't cost much. Tins of mints, bags of sugar almonds and bags of chocolate-covered espresso beans also look elegant and taste great, while small boxes with a cupcake or a few cookies are sure to delight guests. If you want to personalize your favors, consider personalized M&Ms, candy bars or Hershey's kisses. You can also personalize bottles of water and bottles of Jones soda.
Personalized Wedding Favors
Personalized wedding favors ensure that your guests will never forget your big day. Traditional options include matchbooks and bubbles, but don't be afraid to branch out; your guests will also enjoy personalized decks of cards, Christmas ornaments, candles, engraved bells, coasters or candles. Personalization options vary according to the gift and your taste; for example, some gifts can be produced in your wedding colors and include your names and pictures, while other may only include your wedding date.
Plants and Seeds
Reduce your ecological footprint and give a lasting gift by using plants, such as small houseplants or potted herbs, or seeds as wedding favors. Tie ribbon on the plants for a more formal look; place seeds in a mesh bag with a pretty ribbon and a card with instructions.
Pampering Favors
Pampering wedding favors give your guests the gift of relaxation and also add visual interest to your tables. Give your guests bath salts or soap cut into special shapes, such as sea shells, stars or roses. Guests will also enjoy lip balm or travel-sized containers of lotion. It's easy to find these wedding favors in your wedding colors.
