Wedding Favors

Wedding favors are one of the more interesting aspects of planning a wedding but often left a little late in the preparations. Luckily, you will almost be spoilt for choice so you won't have to worry too much about having a problem deciding what to go for. This should make things much easier for you and will be one less thing to worry about before the wedding day arrives.

One option for an easy wedding favor, especially popular with the ladies is flowers. There is virtually no preparation involved in this and depending on how many guests you have you may not have to order them well in advance.

Red roses always look attractive and of course they don't have to be wrapped like many other flowers. Using a single rose per guest gives an appearance of style and placing them can be left to staff immediately prior to the wedding reception commencing so they look very fresh.

Always a popular easy wedding favor option is candy as most people will be more than happy to have a small carton placed for them on the table. I like the idea that a number of receptions have started to use where the costly centerpiece is done away with completely. This can be accomplished by using large bowls filled with different types of candy as the centerpieces on each table.

All you need to do after this is arrange for each wedding guest to have a small box where they can place their candy. This really is easy because each guest can choose whatever candy they like and there isn't a single piece of wrapping in sight.

Although candy is popular, you may wish to give your guests a picture frame which is longer lasting and more useful. Often when receptions have large guest lists, wrapping wedding favors can seem like a nightmare so needs to be avoided if possible. Almost all receptions have place names at the tables for the guests so this is an ideal way to present the frame without the need to spend time and more money on wrapping paper which will only be discarded.

An easy wedding favor that might appeal is to have the photographer take a digital picture of each guest and then present it to them at the wedding reception as they arrive. All the photographer needs to do is to have a printer with him so he can give each guest their photo before they leave later in the day. These days themed weddings are popular and guests appreciate seeing how they look all dressed up so why not give them a photograph showing how they look as a wedding favor. Many photographers will also have a projector so could arrange a looping slide show of all the photos he had taken of the guests.
