Personalized Wedding Favor

After attending a wedding, young girls once brought home a piece of cake to slip under their pillows in hopes of dreaming of their future husband.

Now guests take home tired feet from dancing, full bellies from eating, and a token from the bride and groom. Favors range from delicate boxes filled with pastel colored candies, to candle snuffers monogrammed with the wedding date. Which personalized wedding favor would truly make the wedding one you would remember?

Themed Favors

Consider the theme and location of the wedding.

• Guests at a Hawaiian wedding took away beautiful floral leis.
• Beachside guests adored their little bit of sand in miniature bottles.
• The elegant church wedding called for cross bookmarks embossed with the special date to remember.
• White candy wedding conversation hearts with red lettering spell love year round.
• Heart cookie cutters make an unusual keepsake that will keep guests cooking up wedding memories

Personalized Wedding Favors: Traditional Favorites

Traditions demand something borrowed and blue. These favors are expected too.

• Rice was the only throw once tossed over the bride and groom. Now rose petals make a colorful sendoff.
• Bottles of bubbles come in coordinating colors and miniature sizes to create a magical run-through for the newlyweds.
• Birdseed throws may be filled into miniature cups and tied with netting to resemble wedding bells.
• Personalized wedding favors may be made from simple items adorned with an embossed ribbon. Tie a ribbon around sheer bundles of potpourri, the stem of one of the flowers used in the wedding, or a set of blank stationery.

Trendy

Worried about leaving out the men in the crowd? Try these made to order alternatives.

• Custom made golf-tees embossed with the date keep the couple in mind as guests play.
• Personalized pens are useful as well as commemorative.
• An engraved coffee scoop or a pack of personalized coffee will serve as a memento during a guest’s hotel stay.
• Wildflower seed packets remind all who see the garden that love is blooming.

Tasteful

Let your guests know that their part in your wedding was sweet.

• Send them home with a fortune cookie with a personalized message. The fortune cookies may be as unique as the message, coming in varieties like chocolate dipped, sprinkled, or hand boxed.
• Chocolate bars with a label personalizing the special occasion are a favorite of all.
• Consider a photo cookie as a take home treat decorated with an image or sentence.
• Small boxes of mints are a sweet token from the couple that was “Mint to be” together.

Terrific

Some favors are kept for years to come. These tokens quickly become favorites.

• A pewter bud pin is a classic gift; more than a favor, it’s a way to let the guests wear flowers year round and think of the couple.
• Place card frames with the guests names include the special date to remember as well.
• Single roses at the door or beside place settings may be silk or fresh to mark the day. Add a monogrammed ribbon to adapt it to the day.
• Embossed paper albums allow space for the guest to include their memories of the event.
• Candles spark the memory of the special day each time they are lit.

Time Honored Personalized Wedding Favors

There will be those who still believe in carrying home a piece of that wedding cake and slipping it beneath their pillow to dream of their future spouse. Honor those romantics by helping them get their cake to its destination.

• Monogrammed napkins are perfectly suited to slipping beneath the cake as it makes its journey away from the reception.
• Multi-purpose favor boxes make ideal carrying cases for the dessert.

An engraved love spoon will make eating the cake enjoyable.

The day is one the lucky couple will never forget, and with a little tailoring, it will be the guests’ favor-ite as well.
