Unique Gift Ideas for Your Wedding Favors
It is often the case that the simplest part of something, often takes the longest to arrange; wedding favors can be one of those. Don't worry if you can't think of anything as there is a whole industry set up supplying treats for guests. This is important because it can take a great deal of stress when you realize the big event is rapidly approaching and these haven't been organized.
One option for an easy wedding favor, especially popular with women is flowers. The preparation for flowers is almost non existent other than deciding on what flowers to use which can be ordered reasonably close to the big day.
Many people who choose flowers decide on a single red rose for each guest as a symbol of their love. You can simply purchase one for each guest and have a member of the catering staff, a friend or family member place one rose across each place setting after the tables have been set for the wedding reception.
More and more people decide an easy wedding favor to give their guests is candy in a presentation tin or box. However, there is an even easier way to give candy and also help you to save money on centerpieces. This can be accomplished by using large bowls filled with different types of candy as the centerpieces on each table.
Each wedding guest can then have a small bag or box to place their favorite candy in to eat when they like. This really is easy because each guest can choose whatever candy they like and there isn't a single piece of wrapping in sight.
Pictures frames can also work well especially if they are used as place card holders. This is a good idea but wrapping this type of wedding favor can put many people off especially when there are a large number of guests. If you use the frames to hold the place cards however, wrapping will not be necessary.
An easy wedding favor that might appeal is to have the photographer take a digital picture of each guest and then present it to them at the wedding reception as they arrive. If he brings along a printer you can distribute the photos before your guests begin to leave the reception. It is a nice gift and a wedding favor your guests will appreciate when they leave with a photo of how they looked on your wedding day. If the photographer can arrange a slide show, the guests not only get a personal memento but they also get the opportunity to see how the photos turned out for all of the other guests as well.
