-- Creative Wedding Favors --

If you’ve been to a lot of weddings, maybe you’re tired of seeing the same favors over and over again – you want a creative wedding favor that will leave a lasting impression with your guests! It’s time to start thinking outside the wedding favor box – let your friends give out chocolates and candies!

Get Geeky

Add a hint of your tech-savvy personality to your wedding day by giving out a funky gadget. The perfect pick? A personalized usb key! It’s functional, small, and comes in tons of different colors. You can customize it completely. There are even heart-shaped usb plugs available! A digital frame is another fabulous option, but these can be pricey so be sure to shop around!

Spicy Favors

So many wedding favors are sweet, such as candy, fudge, cookies, or chocolate. Why not get spicy with your favors – after all, your love is hot, right? Hot sauce, barbeque sauce, or spice rubs are all fabulous favors that both guys and gals will appreciate! Potted or dry herbs, or flavored oils are also great alternatives.

Go Green

The hottest trend with weddings these days is to incorporate your every-day values into your big day. If that means being conscious of the environment, then make sure that your favors are green! Opt for a living favor, such as a small plant, a sapling, or seeds. Or, simply leave a card at each place setting saying that a tree has been planted in their honor in a specific forest, and make a donation to a tree-planting organization on behalf of your guests!

Gift Cards

Why not give each guest a $5 Starbucks card to enjoy a latte - on you? It’s a little bit pricey, but it’s a lovely gesture and they’ll be thrilled to grab a java the morning after your wedding! An i-tunes card gift card is another alternative that can be purchased in smaller denominations.

Recipe Cards

Giving out a small recipe book or recipe cards is a thoughtful and personal gesture – these are the meals you and your partner will be enjoying as a freshly married couple, so why not share them with you loved ones! This idea can be done in a variety of fashions – if you want to go all out, start far enough ahead to compile the recipes you and honey love, and take photos to incorporate into a small spiral bound book. If that’s not in the budget (or the timeframe!) simply share a recipe or two on cardstock, laminated recipe cards. For a special touch, include a sample – ie. Give out small loafs of homemade bread along with a recipe card.

To find a wedding favor that’s truly unique, it’s important to do some research. Shop around online – but avoid traditional wedding favor websites. Instead, head to websites that sell branding items for businesses, as you can find a variety of unique, fully customizable items at discounted prices. Also, keep your eyes open when you are out shopping – you never know when you might spot something that would be a perfect, creative wedding favor!
