Thanking Guests Through Wedding Favors
Gratitude is perhaps the most important feeling
. One expresses gratitude for help that has been given. Others may be grateful for the return of lost items or they may be grateful for the food that has been given them. Gratitude is universal and this universal emotion is usually acknowledged in a wedding through the wedding favors.
The wedding souvenirs are the culmination of any wedding. These souvenirs are tangible items that the guests would bring home and these souvenirs are usually kept around for a long period of time. In a typical wedding, the food and the cake may be hurriedly consumed, the ceremony, the reception and the program are immortalized in videos and photos, but the wedding souvenirs are the only evidence of the wedding that ought to be cherished for many years.
Hopefully, the wedding guests would not place these souvenirs tucked away or in the far corners of their kitchens. Rather, these gifts must be placed in special locations to memorialize the guest's friendship and relationship with the couple.
The bride and groom are also obliged to give gifts their entourage. The bride should appreciate her bridesmaids by giving them personalized gifts. The groom, too, must do the same and give tokens of appreciation to his groomsmen. Bridesmaids help the bride in her needs during the wedding ceremony and groomsmen help to groom to be on his best behavior on the wedding day. In addition, the wedding favors the couple will give to their entourage must be special.
Brides-to-be usually give their gifts to their bridesmaids during the bridal shower. These gifts should be personalized and wedding souvenir suppliers have a wide array of feminine items to choose from.
Useful items for the bridesmaids may include memo clip favors, purse hooks, purses, handbag caddy favors, compact mirrors, towel favors (shaped in cake slices or roses), jewelry boxes, phone books, bottle openers, reusable nylon bags, key chains, curio boxes, pocketbook hooks, perfume bottles, note pads, lollipops, trinket boxes, jams, pouches, manicure and pedicure sets, lip balms, fans, and tote bags, among other items. The list goes on for bridesmaids' gifts.
As for the groomsmen, these gifts border on the utilitarian and the simplistic. Items that are appropriate for groomsmen include pocket watches, money clips, key chains, glasses and mugs, gift sets, pocket knives, business card cases, letter openers, paperweights, magnets, barware, and other items suitable for the groomsmen.
More importantly, wedding guests should be made special by the wedding favors that the couple chooses for them. These items may be votive wedding candles, cookie cutters, coasters, wine/bartop favors, coffee/tea favors, place card holders, place card frames, utensils, key chains, bookmarks, wedding bells, soap bars, stationery, and other items the couple finds suitable for the wedding guests who share in their most important day.
Furthermore, wedding souvenirs should be cherished and must be place in an important place in the guest's domain. These gifts are a reminder that they have been part in an important event and that the couple considers them special and appreciated.
