| Unique wedding favors are a wonderful way to say “thank you” to both your guests and the members of your wedding party. Traditionally, guest favors are meant to be simple and wedding party favors should be a bit more elaborate. This is because the members of the wedding party often donate extra time and effort to your wedding. Some will even support, encourage, and assist you with tough tasks and dilemmas.
Usually, any little token of thanks is appreciated, no matter how cheap or small. It really is the thought that counts. However, shopping for unique wedding favors can be a lot of fun, especially if you are planning to add your own personal flair and sentiment. |
If you’re going for a slightly more “earth-friendly” wedding, try to carry this theme into your wedding favors. Regardless if the favors are for guests or members of the wedding party, a thoughtful donation always works. There are so many favor options out on the market available, and there is certainly no shortage of “green” wedding favors.
You can plant a tree in each person’s honor and give them a small note, on recycled paper, stating that a donation has been made in their name. Save a part of the rainforest, help preserve breeding grounds for wild fish or support endangered elephants. Get creative and use your imagination. This way you’re giving a different kind of gift that, in the end, really benefits everyone!
What about yummy treats? No matter what the theme or style is delicious edibles and treats are always a big hit as any kind of favor. They can be enjoyed immediately, saved for later, or given to a third party to enjoy. However they’re enjoyed, tasty favors never go to waste!
So you can add a unique and personal flair to these treats by making thoughtful selections on the goodies to be included. Several big name candy companies now offer “personalized” candies that can have special messages, names or dates printed on the product. It’s also easy to find a bakery to make themed treats specifically for your wedding. Whatever you decide to give, make it something unique, special and personal!
