Couples who are in the process of planning their wedding and neglect to shop for wedding favors early on in the process may find themselves scrambling at the last minute for wedding favors. This often happens as the wedding planning progresses and the couple gets caught up in other details. Time can often seem to fly by during the process of planning a wedding and the couple may keep putting off the process of shopping for wedding favors until the last minute. When this happens it can seem stressful but it is important to remember that all hope is not lost and the couple can still provide great wedding for their guests even when shopping at the last minute. This article will provide some great information on how couples can still give their guests great wedding favors even when they are shopping at the last minute.
The first thing to remember when shopping for last minute wedding favors is that you will likely have to face the fact that personalized wedding favors will not likely be possible. This includes favors which include the names of the bride and groom as well as the wedding date such as candy bars with customized wrappers or candle holders with a personal message. Purchasing these types of wedding favors often involve a lead time of at least a couple of weeks. This means you will have to order the items a few weeks before you need them. If you are last minute shopping for your wedding favors you will not likely have this much time available. While there are many wedding favor distributors who will be willing to rush the order for you, they will also likely charge you very high fees for this service. The cost of rushing the wedding favor may more than double the price of the favor.
If you are seeking last minute wedding favors, one great idea is candy. Giving candy as wedding favors can be incredibly quick and easy. You can purchase gift bags from stores which sell wedding supplies and fill these bags with some of your favorite candies. You can purchase the candy in bulk and divide it up into the smaller bags. Candies such as miniature chocolate bars, hard candies or other individually wrapped candies are all appropriate for this use.
Flowers are another great last minute wedding favor idea. If you are already planning to have floral centerpieces, your florist may be able to supply one additional flower for each guest in attendance. This is a very simple gift but it is also extremely appropriate as a wedding favor. Flowers are often used as symbols of love so giving a favor of a flower is an excellent idea for a wedding. It will also likely closely match the centerpieces so the wedding favors will actually help to contribute to the decor at the wedding reception as well as serving as a favor for the guests.
Finally, if you are in need of a last minute wedding favor you can have keys made for each of your guest. You can use a ribbon to attach a note to each key informing your guests that you wish they will keep in touch through the years and that your home will always be open to them. The key you give them does not have to be an actual copy of the key to your house but can rather serve as a symbolic gesture that you will always be available if they need you.
Wedding planning is stressful indeed because of the all of those things that you must get done before your big day! One of these things that you will want to see to yourself is choosing and buying wedding favors. Luckily this is going to be one of the easier tasks.
Wedding favors are the little gifts that the bride and groom give to everyone who comes to the wedding. These are a simple way of thanking your guests for being part of your special day.
These very special little timeless keepsakes hold special significance to the bride or groom. One thought for you grooms is to give your guy friends and guests baseball caps that have your favorite baseball team’s logo and your wedding date. Hey brides why not give your lady friends and guests a small bottle of your favorite perfume. You might also want to make your favors from both of you. These are perfect for everyone and can be as simple as a bookmark that has a special message and your wedding date written on it in gold lettering.
These special little gifts are a reminder of the special memories of your wedding day that you can look back on for many years to come. You need to make sure that your favors are just your style. With so many different styles of weddings nowadays, is it any wonder that couples have a tough time with this? You really do not want your favor (fancy) to upstage your wedding (casual); nor do you want to go the other way—having your casual wedding favors looking out of place at a fancy wedding. What a catastrophe!
You will never go wrong in choosing a traditional wedding favor, as they will never go out of style. Ribbons and chocolates are the most common traditional favors out there. Did you know that ribbons have a historical connection to marriage that goes back to Elizabethan England? The phrase ‘Tying the Knot’ comes from ribbons tied in a knot symbolizing marriage. Royalty used gold and silver ribbons while commoners used blue and white ribbons. Chocolate is a very popular wedding favor. You can either buy or make heart or bell or cake shaped chocolate favors, but please remember that chocolate melts rather quickly on a hot day. You are only limited by your imagination.
If you want to make your own wedding favors, by all means… go ahead, it is your wedding. No one is saying that you absolutely must go with traditional wedding favors. It is your choice if you choose to give something like baskets of homemade baked treats or a silk flower arrangement or exotic soaps or whatever catches your fancy. The idea here is to choose something that will be a special keepsake that personifies you.
If you are looking for the convenience of being able to order those favors in bulk, look no further than your computer and the Internet. All you need to do is type “wedding favors” in a search engine and you will be given plenty of stores to choose from. Remember to order those wedding favors as soon as you both have made your choice. You will need to allow extra time for your favors to be custom made and shipped.
When it comes to the cost, you truly do not need to do something super extravagant (unless your wedding is). The perfect wedding favor is one that says “Thank you for sharing our special day with us.” and reminds you that special feeling every time you look at it.
