Irish Wedding Favors-- Irish Wedding Favors -- If you or your future hubby has an Irish background, sending your guests home with a traditional Irish favor is a lucky way to celebrate your love! Trying to come up with the perfect Irish wedding favor idea? Here are a few to get you started. Remember, if possible, you might be able to pick up your wedding favors at a great discount if you shop after St. Patrick’s Day! Shamrock Favors By far the most popular, wedding favors that feature the traditional shamrock are classically Irish! Look for favor bags that feature shamrocks, shamrock chocolate wedding favors, or candles that feature shamrock designs. Mint tins that feature personalized messages along with green shamrocks are a great idea too! DIY Irish Favors If you want to make your own favors, consider purchasing small favor bags that feature the traditional green shamrock – or simply choose a simple green or white favor bag. Fill it with green or white mintes, candies, or chocolates, add a sweet thank you card, and voila – you’ve got a unique favor with the luck of the Irish! You can also purchase personalized green and gold ribbon to tie your bags up with style. Standard tin favor holders can also become Irish with a bit of ribbon! If you plan to bake your wedding favors, you can also add an Irish twist to them. Consider giving each guest a shamrock shaped sugar cookie, or a single cupcake that features Celtic detailing. Baileys Delight The Irish are known for enjoying a drink or two, and it doesn’t get any more Irish than a sip of Baileys! Consider buying enough miniature bottles of Baileys for each guest to have one. Tie them with up with a pretty green ribbon and a thank you note, and your guests will enjoy a drink on you! Of course, it might be prudent to post a sign asking guests not to drink and drive. Claddagh Style The claddagh is a traditional Irish symbol, and you can send your guests home with gorgeous wedding favors that symbolize love, loyalty and friendship. Personalized glass votive cup wedding favors printed with the claddagh icon, along with the couple’s names and wedding dates are a beautiful gift for your guests. Celtic Knot The Celtic knot has long been a symbol of everlasting, endless love – so it’s no surprise that it’s an important part of Irish weddings, as well. Look for unique favors that showcase the knot, such as key rings, shot glasses, or coasters. Irish 30 Strike Send your guests home with a gift they will use – personalized matchbooks! Choose a matchbook that comes in a beautiful dark green color, and have it printed with your names, wedding date, and of course – a lucky shamrock! Add an Irish Touch You can add an Irish touch to virtually any wedding favor by adding some of the classic symbols and words! The words “Lucky in Love” are the perfect addition to any element that you plan to personalize. Standard favors such as espresso cups, shot glasses, and candies can all take on an Irish twist with a bit of personalization! -- Irish Wedding Favors --
