Wedding Favor Ideas
When you start thinking about what you want for your wedding favors, it’s important that you start with a few general ideas that you can do a lot with, narrow it down to a few choices, and then customize it to your wedding! The perfect wedding favors are ones that are beautiful, fun, and something that your guests will treasure! Remember, this is how your guests will remember your day for perhaps years to come so make sure that they properly reflect your wedding! Here are some ideas to get you started.
Candy and Chocolate
You can never go wrong with giving your guests some sweet treats and we’ve all been to a wedding where we received the small pastel mints wrapped up in tulle. This is a great wedding tradition but if you want to put your own twist on it, wrap up M&M’s that are of course, in your wedding colors, or use cinnamon hearts or Hershey Kisses. If you want to make this look a bit more elegant, buy small boxes and place inside 4 Belgian chocolates. Attach a small tag thanking your guests and word it something such as, “You’ve made our day extra sweet by being a part of it!”
Plants or Seeds
As the world continues to think about ‘Going Green’, plants and seeds are becoming more popular than ever as wedding favors. You can give your guests a package of seeds with a custom label that shows your photo, your names, and the date of your wedding or you can give them an actual plant! If you have a certain kind of plant at your wedding such as poinsettias for a Christmas wedding, you may consider giving miniature poinsettias with a custom label on the pot. For spring weddings, consider planting a seed inside of a small pot so your guest will be able to enjoy watching it grow!
Tea, Cocoa, or Coffee
You can buy Mason jars with screw-top lids (get the kind with metal wire for a real old-time look) and fill them with aromatic coffee beans or cocoa powder. If you fill them with cocoa, attach a bag of marshmallows wrapped in tulle so your guests can really enjoy it! Filling the jar with tea can also be a great way to give your guests a favor. Choose your favorite tea and buy the loose leaves then fill the jars up with them. Customize your label by printing brewing instructions on one side and your names and wedding date on the other.
Picture Frames
Picture frames make great wedding favors and there’s so much you can do with them! Buy simple and elegant frames and place your engagement photo in it or use them as a place card and then give them to your guests to take home! Or you can get keychain picture frames or magnet picture frames. These are generally inexpensive options that you can find just about anywhere!
