Country and Western Wedding Favors
There’s a certain charm about the Ol’ West that you can bring about through every detail of your country and western wedding and the favors can exude this charm as well as add another playful aspect to your wedding. Getting creative with these types of favors is easy! Simply pick out your favorite element of your country and western theme and fly with it! Whether you’re a cowgirl at heart, love cowboys, or simply love the combination of colors this theme brings, lend that passion to your favors and guests will love to keep them for years to come!
Colors
Colors can really make a country and western theme and it’s easy to bring these colors into your favors. White, black, silver, deep reds, green, and blue are all great country western colors. Play up on the color silver by giving your guests shiny sheriff badges engraved with your names and the date of your wedding tied to a small silver cowboy boots charm. You could also choose bold solid colors such as red or green and give your guests bandanas that are these colors. Have the date of the wedding and your names and each bandana.
Cowboy Boots and Cowboy Hats
Of course looking towards the country western attire is one of the most obvious choices for country and western wedding favors and again, this is an area where you could do just about anything. All it takes is a little imagination! You can turn just about anything into a cowboy hat or boots including key chains (consider photo keychains and put your engagement photo inside!), bottle openers, or soap shaped like boots or a hat. You can also consider filling these things with just about anything such as candy corn, nuts, or sweet kettle corn.
Food
Food always makes for great wedding favors and because the west is known for their finger-lickin’ food, it’s no surprise that this is another area where you’ll have tons of options. Use Mason jars (just like the cowboys like to drink from) and fill them up with candy or nuts, hot sauce (a western favorite) with the date of your wedding and a photo of the two of you on the label, small ‘feed’ pails filled with candy or mints, candy shaped into cowboy boots, hats, and cacti.
Entertainment
There’s a reason that old western movies and country music is so popular – because people are fascinated by country western lifestyle and culture. Providing country western wedding favors isn’t difficult either. Put together a CD of your favorite country western love songs and customize a label complete with your picture, your names, and the date of your wedding. You can also pick out a classic country western romance novel such as Tall, Dark, and Texan. Just be sure to make it unique to your wedding somehow such as inserting each with a bookmark featuring your engagement photo, your name, and the date of your wedding.
