Wedding Favors - Personalized Wedding Favors
Most couples planning a wedding see their special occasion as deeply personal. And so it should be. One way to express that is to create personalized wedding favors for their guests. It adds a connection to the bride and groom and gives the guests a special memento they can long remember.
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.
A fall wedding that uses maple leaf-shaped holders can easily use the center of the favor to hold the date, the happy couple's names or even the location of the wedding. That provides the guests with a unique gift to set on the mantle back home.
A Las Vegas wedding may include playing cards for favors. Arrayed on the table in handy packets, they can include several forms of personalization. The names of the bride and groom could be embossed on the back, while the logo of the hotel that hosts the reception can be emblazoned across the top. Some copyright or trademark restrictions may apply here, but most hotels are happy for the free advertising.
Plan to decorate the tables with chocolate mints for your guests to enjoy? A range of styles and colors are available as favors. In Las Vegas you might want to select poker chips, which can easily have personalized text on the wrapper. Planning to please your guests with coffee or tea favors? The packets provide a convenient spot to include your wedding's design theme.
Many favors are wrapped or decorated. That gives yet another opportunity for personalization. A box of party favors might be wrapped with a ribbon that is printed with names, date or a special phrase you use in your ceremony. A bag of candies can be tied with a bow that contains your personal message.
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.
There are many personalization methods and thousands of wedding favors that use them. No matter which personalized wedding favors suit your fancy, you can't go wrong. It's a personal thing.
