A Killer Wedding Favor Idea

A wedding should never be about the bride and groom giving gifts to the guests. Generally it is a time for good wishes and gifts to be showered upon the couple. However, a wedding reception can seem much more tasteful and pleasant if you come up with a good wedding favor idea to give to your guests. This can seem slightly hard to do. It can be hard to come up with a wedding favor idea that doesn’t cost too much but is still a nice little gift. Here are a few of the things I have found to work well.

Candles

One gift that won’t break your budget is something you might not have considered. A small pouch with a decorative candle inside can seem like a very classy gift for your guests. Not only does it look nice, but it also serves a purpose (whether they use it to explore a cave or to bring a more pleasant odor to their home is up to them).

Buying all of the candles and pouches will be much less expensive than you might imagine. If you simply place one at everyone’s table spots, you will have an impressive wedding favor idea that will charm your guests.

Candy and Cookies

Of course, you might also choose a gift that the recipients don’t take home (except for in their stomachs!) A small plate of cookies or candies on each table can give your reception a great decorative feel. You can buy multiple tins of candies from confectioners, and even order them custom with little hearts or equally romantic symbols.
It will give the guests something to snack on, but they won’t feel obligated to lug it home just to have it sit on the shelf gathering dust forever (not to say that this is always the case, but it’s certainly something that can occur if your gift is mundane enough!)

Flowers

If nothing has piqued your interest so far, you can consider setting up miniature flower arrangements for each guest. Buy a bulk lot of small goblets or cups, and fill each one with an identical arrangement of fresh flowers. The guests can go home and have the flowers decorate their table for a few days, then have a nice goblet to do whatever they want with. With this wedding favor idea, everyone wins.

Bath and Soap Related Favors

Another wedding favor idea is to have miniature servings of soap or shampoo for each guest. This completely depends on the type of people who will be attending your wedding, of course. If your friends are the type who would enjoy a bit of high quality shampoo, then by all means go for it! However, many people might find it to be a strange gift. Use this idea at your discretion.

Having a great wedding favor idea can be the one thing that turns your wedding reception into a really memorable event. If you give your guests something to take home and use as the centerpiece on the table, they will think of your wedding every time they see it.

Your wedding is a huge event, and should last forever in the minds of your loved ones. And sometimes giving a memento is the best way to do this.
