About Wedding Favors >>

Over the years wedding favors have become increasingly popular. Guests often look forward to receiving a keepsake favor to take home with them after the wedding party.

Wedding party favors add to the decor and theme of the reception, ranging from simple bookmarkers to elegant crystal or silver pieces for the bridal party that can later be displayed in a curio cabinet or on a fireplace mantle.

Some couples prefer to give the guests something edible, such as chocolate wedding favors and Jordan almonds, available in colors white, silver or gold or a small box of mints, truffles or homemade chocolate wedding favors. Candy conversation hearts and gourmet coffee or tea are also good favor ideas. Even the boxes alone come in a large variety of shapes and colors, ranging from heart, cone, pyramid and purse shapes that come in floral and embossed pearl papers. Boxes can be topped with a decorative bow or a colorful silk flower chosen to coordinate with your wedding colors. Prices usually range from 25 cents to over $1.50. The Jordan almonds can also be made into an elegant favor by placing each candy coated almond into the petal of an almond holder flower made of white netting, wire and leaves, a great favor idea! These can easily be assembled by the bridesmaids or purchased assembled for about $1.50. Organza bags come in a variety of colors and can also be filled with candy.

Favors can also be designed with the season of the year as a theme...fall wedding favor ideas include autumn leaf candles or tulip bulbs wrapped in a sheet of tulle and tied with ribbon. Winter favors include mini cherub holiday ornaments, pine or cinnamon scented potpourri, floating poinsettia candles or silver bells. Any favor can be personalized with a unique thank you note or a short poem printed on a small card. Christmas weddings or holiday wedding favor ideas can be to use wrapped mini gifts of different shapes and sizes in your wedding colors and place at each table setting. Mini sleighs are available at most craft stores. Fill sleighs with Holiday candies, favors for the guests, or the table card.
