Italian Wedding Favors

-- Italian Wedding Favors --

If you are planning an Italian wedding, it is only natural that you would want to give your guests a lovely Italian wedding favor – a small token of your appreciation for them attending your wedding!

Italian Flavors

Italy is famous for its food – and Italians are famous for enjoying it! Give your guests something delicious to remember your wedding by. Why not give a selection of your favorite Italian herbs so your guests can cook with Italian style when they return home – basil and oregano are classics! Olive oil imported from Italy is a fabulous gift that is also visually stunning. Jars of gourmet stuffed olives are sure to delight! A few pieces of biscotti or Italian almonds wrapped in cellophane and tulle, then tied with a ribbon is a classic and simple Italian wedding favor. For an inexpensive gift that has a major “wow” factor, why not make up packages of your favorite pasta sauce (extra points if it’s made by Nonna!) and spaghetti? This can look elegant and quite grand! Or, add to the fun by ordering personalized pasta in fun shapes.

Made in Italy

Giving out a classic gift that was actually made in Italy is a lovely way to give a nod of appreciation to your family’s heritage and country. From hand painted ceramic bowls, platters, and serving dishes to gorgeous oversized spoon rests, you can give a gift that your guests will cherish in their kitchens for years to come! Motifs that include olives, Italian colors, or simple fruit patterns will match any décor!

Go Grand

If you’re planning a large Italian wedding, it is customary to give gifts that are just a little over-the-top. Make a lasting impression by giving out kitchen or décor items that are made of real silver or crystal. Sugar bowls, porcelain crosses, Madonna and child figurines or luxurious silver engraved photo frames are all gorgeous gifts that will thrill and delight every guest!

Vino!

What’s more Italian than a good bottle of wine? Give your guests a bottle to take home that’s been personalized with your very own label. Italian brides also love to give out wine-themed gifts, even if you don’t necessarily give wine. Why not give a decanter, a bottle stopper, an opener, or a set of coasters?

Espresso!

If you and your fiancé love a good cup of espresso, share your love of java with your guests! There are so many different espresso / cappuccino sets to choose from, and it’s a gift that your guests will find both functional and decorative. From matching saucers, espresso spoons, heart shaped boxes, and cup holders, these gifts are surprisingly affordable! Make it special by giving out a bag of your favorite coffee bean to go along with the set!

Giving out an Italian wedding favor is a fabulous way to share a bit of your heritage with your guests. From olive oil to hand-painted ceramics, be sure to shop early for your wedding favors to make sure they arrive on time! It is always a good idea to order extra favors as well – account for about 10% extra.
