subject: How To Decide On Wedding Favors [print this page] Wedding favors are a time to share a bit of your personality. There is nothing that says you have to go with the traditional truffles or chocolates, although those are appreciated as well. Wedding favors are a way for family and friends to take a little piece of you with them, so think about what's important to you and how you can incorporate that into your wedding.
Hobbies. Do you have a favorite hobby, or does your husband? If it's picnicking across the country, then think about having miniature picnic baskets at each table filled with a favorite cheese or recipe for the perfect picnic. If your hobby is photography, maybe a picture frame or a photograph from your personal collection would be a good reminder of the interests you choose to celebrate.
People do like food. Most people enjoy cookies, chocolates and candy. One way to make it your own is to have the cookies cut to reflect something you like or something related to the wedding. You could have the cookies cut into hearts or in the shape of a dog if you're a dog lover. Candies can be personalized with the date of the wedding or even with the couple's image. Some prefer to have a candy table where people can help themselves to their favorite treats.
Instead of buying an expensive gift to give, you can give that money to a charity or organization you are involved in. To let guests know, you can type up a card that tells them where the money was donated and a little bit about the charity.
Being environmentally friendly is a great way to show your support of the earth. Giving saplings to grow or wildflower seeds lets people enjoy the beauty of the earth and remember you as they are doing it. Watching plants and seeds grow can be a family event. As the years pass, people will remember you when they look at a tree that has grown up with them.
Career Favors. For the doctor who has just graduated medical school or the artist who has had their first gallery opening, think about something that can reflect this. Maybe a miniature rendering of a piece of art would make a great gift, or a personalized invitation to view the gallery. For the doctor, how about candy shaped like a stethoscope, or candy 'medicine.'
Budget Favors. For those on a budget, a poem or story, or photograph of the couple makes a beautiful favor and is something that is likely to be kept for a lot of years. For musicians, burning a CD of your work helps family and friends remember you and your talent.
No matter what kind of party favor you choose, have fun with it. Celebrate your day and let people know what's important to you. This will let them feel closer to you.
