As wedding ceremonies
and receptions become less traditional and more unique, so are
wedding favors. Today's brides and grooms can now chose anything
from elaborately wrapped, expensive gift to homemade organic
soaps! Some examples of the wedding favors that brides and
grooms are choosing these days include:
Picture frames: using
small picture frames - no larger than two inches by two inches -
for name plates for the wedding meal, and simultaneously, as
wedding favors, is a fun and classy expression of the couple's
taste.
Packets of seeds:
providing custom packaged wildflower seeds with the names of the
bride and groom are common wedding favors among those looking
for a more natural and cost effective wedding favor.
Heart shaped mini
tape measures: these mini tape measures can be engraved as well
- for those with larger budgets -- with generic saying such as
we hope your love lasts as long as ours, or with the couple's
names and the date of the event, for a unique and truly
customized wedding favor.
Measuring spoons: in
keeping with the trend of mini tape measures, some couples
choose measuring spoons that are fun and unique for wedding
favors, in keeping with the theme of romance and practicality.
Wine corks or bottle
openers: another popular wedding favor are wine corks or bottle
openers, that too, are adorned with hearts or other romantic
themes.
Candles and soaps:
custom soaps that are beautifully packaged to match the wedding
reception decorations and have the bride and groom's names on
them are also popular wedding favors.
But
wedding favors - especially in today's economy - can also be
homemade, elegant and cost-effective. Homemade cookies,
chocolates or other favors often create a more personal touch,
than a purchased wedding favor, and can be in keeping with style
and taste of the couple.
