Distinctive Wedding Favors
The days of wedding favors consisting of Jordan Almonds wrapped in muslin are gone. No longer will a scented tea-light cut it as a wedding favor for your guests. Even the little bottles of bubbles are out. Unique wedding favors are now the way to go. Couples are now choosing items that reflect their personal tastes or hobbies, things their wedding guests can use. Here we will take a look at a few categories of distinctive items to consider for your wedding favors.
Edible
A little box of fine chocolates would be a pleasing wedding favor, but it isn’t exactly unique is it? Plus, what if one of your guests has a dairy allergy or is diabetic? How about mini bottles of gourmet olive oil and balsamic vinegar? After the contents are used up the bottle itself would be great as a vase for little posies! Or how about a little pot of locally made honey? Add a romantic touch by including a personalized tag that reads “Meant to Bee”. The last few years has seen an increase in the popularity of tea, so why not consider gourmet tea sachets? Or perhaps personalized tins of tea leaves? If coffee is more appealing for you and your partner, consider a little sachet of some fine coffee beans. Including a stick of raw sugar may also be a nice idea.
Scented
If your wedding has an Asian flavor, what about giving your guests a few sticks of handmade incense? Or perhaps an incense gift box that includes the holder as well. Some couples are choosing to theme their wedding in a vintage manner, including a gift of rose scented sachets for their guests. The gift itself is simple, but packaged in an embroidered pouch or personalized gift box, it becomes romantic and unique.
Kitchen
What about giving your guests something they can use again and again? Something that reminds them of your wedding each time they use it? How about a corkscrew and wine bottle topper set, perhaps with the handle in the shape of a heart. Or, for something a little more fun, what about a kitchen timer in the shape of a champagne bottle in an ice bucket? Even a blender would produce smiles with a little tag “The Perfect Blend”. An apple shaped peeler would also be fun, perhaps engraved with “Love is a Peel!” If you are looking for something a little more romantic, but still useful, how about a heart shaped cookie cutter or heart shaped measuring spoons?
Photos
Everyone loves to take photos at a wedding. It is a special day, everyone is looking their best and the mood is jubilant! Disposable cameras are fun to have on each table for your guests. What about including a mini heart shaped frame or album to take home? Then you don’t need to worry about getting your expensive professional photos out to everyone – they can take their own, and have fun doing it! There are so many styles and shapes of mini albums available now: floral, tuxedo, heart, wedding cake, and cupid, take your pick.
Uncommon
For something even more unusual how about an engraved melon baller? You could have your names and the wedding date engraved along with “Have a Ball!” If you are having a destination wedding, what about some chrome luggage tags for your guests? If the list is small, you could even have them personalized. Here is something every guest will use: a little reusable tin of bandages, personalized with your names. It is fun, definitely different and very usable. Pewter book marks adorned with a heart or flower would also be well received. If your wedding is taking place in the summer, on a warm day, what about giving your guests a fan as their wedding favor? No doubt they will appreciate the thought when the warmth of the day becomes bothersome. Fans can be made of bamboo and paper, silk or even scented sandalwood.
If all of these unique wedding favor ideas just don’t seem to hit the spot and you want something a little more romantic, how about a love notes gift box? In a nostalgic gift box wrapped in ribbon there could be a set of love notes for your guests to read on days they are feeling blue or when they just want to remember your wedding day. The gift box can be re-used when all the notes have been enjoyed, or the recipient could add more love notes! It is a simple idea, but something your guests will no doubt appreciate and talk about.
