Wedding favors are a couple’s way of thanking their guests for witnessing an important part of their lives. So it’s no wonder that a lot of couple’s really do their research just to find the perfect gift for all the attendees.
So let’s say you have everything covered from the invitations down to the wedding dress. But wait, you haven’t chosen the perfect wedding favor that you’ll hand out to guests. So if you’re one of those people who want everything to be extra special and not commonplace, read more.
More often than not, people like the idea of having a sweet treat at the end of the day. Sweets generally go down in history as a reward. Most people, when they think of childhood, remember how their moms gave them an extra slice of cake or a chocolate bar just for being a good kid. So it is an equally wonderful idea to give guests some sweets as a way of thanking them for being great guests. For starters, you should decide on what sweet treat you want to give. Chocolates are a good idea. Chocolate can take on any form like liquid, solid or even powder. So chocolate really gives you a variety to choose from. Another sweet tooth favorite is honey. Honey wedding favors are also sweet but gentler on the budget. But if you can go wild on the budget but still prefer honey over cocoa, then here are some extras that will really make your wedding favors a surefire hit.
- Add a little extra like a cute handcrafted spoon carefully tied on the lid for that added pizzazz or why not add some sparkly stuff like faux gemstones or rhinestones.
- Upgrade your bottle. Go big. An extra large jar of honey will make guests thank you profusely before you head out. Watch out for swooning ladies at the size of your giveaways.
- Packaging is everything. If you think a plain old jar is not your thing, then why not put your honey in a different container? A ceramic container is a nice option. This way, when your guests are finished with their honey wedding favours, they still have a little something to remember your wedding by.
- If you and your husband are really on the sweet side, then maybe you can have your little love notes to each other or favourite poems and saying about love printed and wrapped around the jar of honey. A sweet start to a successful marriage.
- Or if you really have no problem with being a bit extravagant, then maybe you can add a specially made foil envelope that has tea inside of it. This is a good example of a good combination. Tea is really complemented by honey. The envelope that contains the tea can even have your names and the date of your wedding printed on it. Just remember that you should choose the kind of tea that is generally like by people of all ages, like green tea.
Speaking of drinks, if you think that you’d rather give guests an adult sort of favor that wouldn’t even bring to mind childhood memories but adult ones, why not give your guests cocktail wedding favors? This kind of favors can be bought online and you can even have a cocktail specially made and named after you. This usually comes in a foil pack with instructions at the back on what to add in order to make a first class cocktail. Or if you want all of your guests to enjoy your wedding favors, young and old alike, then why not add in a cocoa mix in a similar packaging? This way, teens or kids that will attend your wedding will also be equally excited as their parents with the wedding favors.
But what if you or your hubby to be is not a huge fan of edible favors? Then why not just give candles-that-look-like-cocktail wedding favors? These treats may not be sweet to the taste but they will be good to look at. You can also choose your desired look from a variety of colors. You can go pink if you’re feeling romantic or purple if you want a different vibe. Or, you can have the gel candle inside the martini glass to be the same color as your motif. Either way, your guests will still be grateful. You can spruce up these candles by buying martini glasses that are quirky and a bit on the eccentric side. The glasses can have little diamond-like designs at the bottom perhaps? Just make sure that you put these giveaways in a container that prevents breakage. Hope these ideas help you make your dream wedding come true. Good luck!
