Weddings are one of the most important occasion in the life of two people - the bride and the groom - and it’s a truly personal celebration with the loved ones. Couples want every last detail of it to be personal too, and they do so with personalized wedding favors. For instance, diving enthusiasts choose miniature flippers and goggles as favors, wine collectors choose to give out wine tasting glasses. These favors reflect the couple, and the guests are to remember them through these memorabilia.
Fortunately, there are a half dozen ways to personalize wedding favors. Each method is designed for the type of wedding favor you select.
Placecards allow the guests to locate their table at the wedding reception. But it’s easy to go beyond simply putting the names of the guests - and the bride and groom - onto the card. You can personalize the placecard holder, as well.
Holders in the shape of maple leaf are very popular for fall weddings. You can easily add the wedding details - date, names of bride and groom, and wedding location - in the center of the holder. Your guests would love to display the favors on their mantles when they go home.
A Las Vegas wedding calls for a number of things. One thing you may try is giving out decks of cards with your names in it with a logo of the hotel at the bottom. Don’t forget to check with the hotel about any copyright or infringement law. Or you can give away shot glasses with poker chip designs or small buckets that contain chocolate poker chips.
With the said chocolate poker chips, you can make them more personalized by having your names and wedding date embossed on the wrapper. Chocolate mint tins also make great personalized wedding favors. And if you don’t want chocolate mints, you may put in coffee or tea as favors.
Wedding favor boxes and containers are an opportunity to further personalize your gifts to the guests. For instance, you can decorate them with ribbons and attach a personal message. Or you can have your favorite quote on a glass or crystal favor etched, put engagement pictures in decorated frames, or put a sticker on the bottom of miniature silver buckets.
You might be considering tealights, a favorite favor among those planning a wedding. They can be personalized in several ways, too. The bottom of the tealight can be stamped or have a sticker that references your wedding date and names. Even the candle area itself can include text on the bottom that spells out your personal text. The tealight candle melts, revealing your clever design.
But those tealights have to be lit, so how about some personalized matchbook covers? The outside can be embossed with your personal logo. Flip open the cover and there is a small map leading to your reception. On the back, guests find the names of the bride and groom and the date.
A wedding favor can easily be personalized just by putting a sticker, a picture or a small tag. No matter the size of the wedding favor, big or small, it becomes priceless not because of the favors themselves but because you put a little of yourself into making them.
