Planning Your Wedding

You’ve got your dress, you’ve ordered the flowers, the bridesmaids will be suitably attired and so will your future husband and his best man. It has always been a tradition to give these special people gifts to remember your wedding by, and the trend now is that you give guests wedding favors too. There are a whole range of these favors, from elegant silk fans, ideal if you are getting married in summer, and smaller gifts such as table placings made from frosted glass or elegant stainless steel with guests names on them, so that they can take them away with them after the wedding.

Of course you may be having a simple buffet meal in which case you may think about scented candles for your guests, or personalized item such as bookmarks or coasters. If you want to give eco-friendly gifts, there are many small items, such as coaster sets made from sustainable materials such as bamboo.

Your wedding day will hopefully be perfect, or at least a memorable one, so giving guests wedding favors is one way of ensuring that they too will remember your special day.

If you want to emulate “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” then sugared almonds are wedding favors traditionally given in Greece, and if they come in a durable container, that could be used every day after the nuts have been eaten, these would be ideal, cheap wedding favors. If you want more expensive ones to show your appreciation to your guests then you could give them aromatherapy oils such as jasmine which would lift their mood just by smelling it if they were feeling down.

Perhaps you have a themed wedding so the gifts could match the theme of your wedding. If you are having a winter wedding, then snowflakes would be good, either made from frosted glass or perhaps origami ones, depending on how much you want to spend.

The rush and bustle of a wedding is always stressful, and you worry about having everything absolutely perfect on your big day, but choosing wedding favors is worth it as your guests will know that even in your possibly most stressful time, you have remembered them. The good thing about wedding favors is that they can be bought online, and there are so many to choose from that you are certain of being able to get favors that you think your guests will appreciate, without expending too much energy.
