Unique Favors To Please Wedding Guests
By Natalie Glass
Unique favors for your wedding are subject to many
myths. Couples often feel pressured to give all 300
of their guests a gift. Over the years, it’s become
more fashionable for couples to receive one gift together,
which enables the bride and groom to save a little more
money or opt for a fancier favor.
Secondly, edible favors aren’t just popular because
they’re cheap; they’re popular because they disappear!
Nothing is worse than finding dozens of favors left
on tables at the end of the night. These edible goodies
are always picked up in a hurry, making them one of
the most useful wedding favor ideas.
Lastly, it’s a common myth that one needs to spend
a lot to show gratitude. Remember, first and foremost,
you are spending loads of money on the food and drinks
for everyone, so the favor is just an extra.
Reducing Waste For Landfills With A Green Wedding
Dream Green Weddings offers an assortment of unique
favors for people to review and plan a "green"
or an "eco-friendly" event for their special
day. These party planners worry about the amount of
waste paper plates generate in landfills.
They wouldn’t dream of throwing a recyclable in the
garbage and they bring reusable water bottles, rather
than plastic, everywhere they go. These model citizens
take earth stewardship very seriously and inspire others
to do the same.
Personalized Eco Favors
Eco-favors available at Dream Green Weddings include
tree seed kit favors (American Elm, Blue Spruce, Douglas
Fir, Ponderosa Pine, Giant Sequoia, Dawn Redwood, Red
Maple); personalized wedding favor flower seed kits;
bamboo coasters, candle holders, trinket boxes, place
card holders and salad sets; organic chocolate truffles;
soy candles; and tea bags.
All of these favors can be purchased for less than
$4 a piece. "Planning a green wedding should not
be a frustrating experience. It should be inspirational,
educational, enjoyable, and affordable," said Heather
Teague, Founder of Dream Green Weddings.
Finding Sustainable Wedding Favors
"Our goal is to make it easier for eco-conscious
couples to find sustainable wedding specialties that
are eco-elegant and ultra-convenient in one online shopping
venue that caters to their specific preferences and
price range."
According to West Coast wedding coordinator Frankie
Berger, the more personal, the better. She encourages
couples to choose unique favors that say something about
their common interests. For instance, some brides and
grooms choose custom-created, personalized-label music
CDs. Others might hand out booklets of poetry.
Brides Baking Home Made Desserts For Guests
Brides who are known for baking could whip up some
homemade desserts for guests, accompanied with the recipe.
Country folks might want something low-key and simple,
like homemade granola in jelly jars covered in gingham
fabric.
Flea market gurus can make out like bandits with antique
picture frames, vases or lace handkerchiefs. As you
can see, there are a number of wedding favor ideas for
every interest and style.
Ideas To Display Wedding Favors For Your Guests
Lastly, you’ll need to consider how you’d like to display
your unique favors. Whether you choose simple or elegant
wedding favors, you can put them at each place setting,
which is the traditional way to ensure no one forgets
their gift.
The reception hall may also have a basket filled with
goodies and a "Please Take One" sign right
when your guests walk in the hall doors. One of the
more clever ideas is to arrange your items in the center
of the table as part of the decor.
Bride And Groom Giving Out Favors
Some people even like to arrange the favors in three
circular layers, much like a wedding cake. The bride
and groom may choose to personally give out the favors
as they visit each table.
For larger weddings, young relatives sometimes like
to help out in this department. You can also attach
the favor to a ribbon or cord and loop it around the
chair backs for added decor.
