Silver Wedding Favors

Silver Picture Frames

One of the most traditional favors, picture frames, are still very popular. Small to mini frames work best as favors, and come in a wide variety. Silver hearts, matte silver frames, ornate victorian frames, swirled ivy, and Cinderella stage coaches are just a few of the types of silver frames available.

Silver frames accented with butterflies, wedding rings, wedding bells, pearls, rhinestones, doves, and roses are also available. If you choose this type of favor, you may want to order extra wedding photos to send to each guest or couple to place in the frame.

Candles and Candle Holders

Silver taper candle holders, votives, small candle holders, and tealites or tealite holders make good choices for favors. Candle coasters also work well favors. There is a wide variety of designs and motifs available, and candles are part a part of home décor everyone loves.

Glass votive holders encased in spiraling silver offer a delicate look, and some of these are also designed to double as place card holders. Small candles or tealites in silver tins can be customized with a sticker with your names and the date on the lid. For a fun and yet stylish favor, try mini silver candle buckets.
