Planning A Wedding - Ideas For Wedding Favors

By Juliette Crane


Wedding favors are one of the more interesting aspects of planning a wedding but often left a little late in the preparations. 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.

Flowers are undoubtedly one easy wedding favor you can give to your guests. 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.

A popular choice is a red rose and as a symbol of love which is very fitting at a reception. 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.

The options available for using candy as an easy wedding favor are huge and probably the single most popular gift. A simpler but possibly more interesting method is to present the candy that does away with expensive centerpieces altogether. This can be accomplished by using large bowls filled with different types of candy as the centerpieces on each 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. This could be called a self service gift because all you have to do is supply the candy and something to place it in.

Although candy is popular, you may wish to give your guests a picture frame which is longer lasting and more useful. Although presentation is everything, there are ways around wrapping wedding favors and picture frames are an ideal example of how you can avoid this task. By using the picture frames as placeholders provides a way around this, making it a gift that does not need to be wrapped.

Another easy wedding favor option to end this article is to arrange for a professional photographer to attend the wedding reception and take a photo of every couple as they arrive looking their best. If he brings along a printer you can distribute the photos before your guests begin to leave the reception. Everyone will appreciate this wedding favor as it is a reminder they can cherish for many years. Many professional photographers have purchased small digital projectors so there is no reason why you couldn't request one at the reception and this way your guests could see the images that had been taken during the day.
