While wedding favors may be one of…

Posted on Thursday 24 April 2008

While wedding favors may be one of the simplest parts of planning a wedding, they can also be the part which is often left until the last minute. Don’t worry if you can’t think of anything as there is a whole industry set up supplying treats for guests. This is a part of the arrangements, like the guest list and seating arrangement that will often cause unnecessary stress when there doesn’t have to be any.

If all other options fail you can always choose the easy wedding favor of flowers which can also decorate the reception at the same time. Owing to the nature of flowers, they can usually be left until later in the preparations which means the bride and groom will have less to worry about.

A popular choice is a red rose and as a symbol of love which is very fitting at a reception. It is simple to have these placed by the caterers on the day just prior to the wedding reception.

Although candy might be an easy wedding favor, it is immensely popular and with almost three out of every four weddings using it, often placed in a specially designed box. However, there is an even easier way to give candy and also help you to save money on centerpieces. This just needs a large quantity of various candies placed in a large bowl on the middle of the table.

All you need to do after this is arrange for each wedding guest to have a small box where they can place their candy. All you have to do is let each guest have the option to take whatever candy they like and you won’t have anything more to do.

Pictures frames can also work well especially if they are used as place card holders. The only problem with giving photo or picture frames as a wedding favor is when you have to wrap each picture frame individually. For this to work you need to make things simple so why not save having to wrap the gifts by using them as placeholders; and who would anyone blame you?

For those of you that like an easy wedding favor that is a little different then why not use a local photographer, you can have each guest pose for a shot which can be presented to them at the wedding reception. So to make sure each guest leaves with their photo, the photographer could take along a fast digital printer then they could be printed out whilst the guests are enjoying the reception. These days themed weddings are popular and guests appreciate seeing how they look all dressed up so why not give them a photograph showing how they look as a wedding favor. It would also be nice if the photographer could bring along a digital projector so all the photos he had taken of the guests could then be shown on a screen during the reception meal.
