Classic wedding favor ideas

Candies offer a sweet opportunity to stick within a budget.There are many candy molds available online or in craft stores.These candy molds can be filled with chocolate and stored until right before the big event.Brides who have opted for a fairy tale wedding may choose to fill a glass (plastic) slipper with chocolate candies and wrap the confections with tulle and ribbon.Butterfly themed weddings can use butterfly molds and the candies can be wrapped in netting or nestled within small boxes.Use caution with warm temperatures because chocolate obviously has the tendency to melt.There are also many online templates for candy bar wrappers that can be personalized with the bride and groom's wedding information.

A wedding planned around a particular theme should include favors that reflect the chosen theme.For example, a beach wedding could include favors such as sand dollar cookies made with chilled sugar cookie dough, a round cookie cutter, and a little creativity.Use a fork or knife to cut small slits around the edges of the circle and a spoon to make star shapes in the middle.Colored sugar can be sprinkled on the cookies to coordinate with the colors of the wedding.Starfish cookies are just as easy to make with a star-shaped cookie cutter.Just twist the arms a bit when they come out of the oven so they will resemble the imperfections of natural starfish.These cookies can be frozen ahead of time and bagged in pretty little packages prior to the reception.Cookies are inexpensive, easy to make, and can really be adapted to many different themes.

Candles are a popular choice for favors.Votive candles that are personalized with commemorative wedding information can be purchased.Votive candles are also available in a wide range of colors so they are easy to coordinate with the colors of the wedding celebration.Natural or synthetic seashells can be filled with wax and a wick to make shell candle favors for summer or Hawaiian themed weddings.

A classic idea for wedding favors is miniature photo frames.These can be purchased in bulk from wholesale and outlet sources.Each picture frame is presented to guests containing personalized wedding information inserts.The inserts can be removed after the reception, so guests are left with a useful token of appreciation.

Flower seeds nestled within personalized envelopes are perfect for spring weddings.They can be ordered for a reasonable cost or fashioned by the bride and a few friends.The flowers born from the seeds will be a long-lasting reminder of the couple's happy day.

Personalized bubbles are a standard wedding favor.Clear labels printed on a computer printer can replace the need to pay for personalization services.Bubbles are whimsical and great for kids too.Wholesalers and online auctions are possible locations to find miniature bubbles.

Miniature bottles of liquor are a great party favor for receptions that will include alcohol.Purchasing these shot bottles will be less expensive if they are bought in bulk quantities just like anything else.This may not be an appropriate favor if a lot of children are going to be present at the reception.

Scented soaps are popular wedding favors.These can be coordinated with the theme and colors of the wedding as well.Tulle or organza pouches are a nice way to present these favors for guests.

Sachets of bath salts with personalized tags are an inexpensive wedding favor.These can be purchased or made by hand.Large containers of bath salts can be purchased very reasonably and will make a ton of individual favors.

Personalized tea packets complete with tea bags are another option.These are very simple to assemble by hand.Consider purchasing a variety of tea bags.Simple desktop publishing software can be used to print a cover for the tea bags on cardstock.The phrase "Love is brewing" along with the names of the bride and groom and date of ceremony can be used on the front of the tag.The back of the tag may include "Thank you for sharing this special day with us."Pinking shears will add a decorative edging to the cover.Coordinating colored ribbon can be added as a finishing touch.
