Unique Wedding Favours - Give Meaning to Your Gifts

Because of the stress that wedding planning can sometimes bring, most couples tend to not spend as much time on selecting the perfect wedding favors they will give their guests. This should not be the case, because wedding favors are actually your way of letting your guests know that you appreciate their presence in your wedding ceremony and reception.

When it comes to wedding favors, you will never run out of options. You can opt to just give photo frames, figurines with a bride and a groom, a bookmark, or just about anything that you can find in wedding shops or online. However, if you really want your guests to keep your favors and not consider them as just another piece of junk, you will give unique wedding favours.

There are various ways by which you can make your wedding favors extraordinary. Instead of personalizing a simple favor by just engraving or imprinting it with your name and wedding date, you can actually get a favor that spells out your name. One example is to give out cookies that are shaped according to your new last name. You can place these cookies in a box or a cookie jar, and then tie a ribbon around it. Make sure that the colors complement your wedding theme.

Another unique wedding favour that has become a quite popular over the past several years is donating money to a charity in the name of the newlyweds' guests. This is not a complicated process and a very thoughtful gesture. First, choose a charity that has significant meaning to you and which you are actively participating in. After you have decided as couple on what charity you'll be sending the donations to, you can now start to create a scroll or notification. In the scroll, tell your guests that in lieu of favors, you will make a charitable donation in their name. Don't forget to include an explanation on why you chose the specific charity. Then, you can ask a wedding attendant to place the scrolls at each reception table. This unique wedding favour will surely move and inspire your guests. Who knows, maybe even some of them will join the charity and start being active.

One of the best ways to make your wedding favors special is by keeping with the theme. For instance, if you want to give coaster wedding favours, and you have a Las Vegas theme for a wedding, choose colors like black, silver, or red. Your coasters can also come with designs like spades, hearts, clubs, and diamonds.

For a beach wedding theme, you can choose to get starfish glass coasters that come in a variety of color. Choose colors that range from sandy bronze, torqouise, to aqua azure hues. Also, make sure that the designs display a portrait or different elements of the beach, the shore, and the sea creatures such as whales and dolphins.

On the other hand, if you are quite tight on the budget, you need not totally disregard giving coaster wedding favours. Find alternative ways. You can even opt to make or design your own coasters if you think you are creative. All you have to do is go to a local crafts shop and obtain your accessories there. Be resourceful. Besides, the key to making unique wedding favours is adding a personal touch, and what better way to do that by creating your own favors?

Another surefire way to delight your guests with unique wedding favours is by giving them something that they will find useful. This way, every time they use the item, they will be reminded of the good times they had on your wedding celebration.

One great idea is to use picture frames with edges that are designed with embellishments complementing the wedding theme. You can even put the place cards inside the picture frame and when your guests take them home, they can place their own photos. Personalized notepads, pens, key chains, and daily planner are all useful favors. They are cost-effective too, which makes them a great gift for your guests.

What makes wedding favors truly unique is when the favors mirror what you are and your love for each other as a couple represents. Take time to explore your options, and sure enough, your guests will be more than happy to not just receive but keep your wedding favors.
