Your guests have given you a number of gifts already – their time, their effort, their participation, and their wedding gift. With wedding favors, this then becomes the opportunity to give a gift to them – a gift that shows your appreciation and a way for them to remember your wedding in coming years. So how do you make an ordinary favor into something more special memorable?
Putting a little more effort and creativity in your wedding favors can make all the difference. No need to place them in expensive packaging and with it ending up to be discarded afterwards. Here are some great but inexpensive suggestions on how you can make wedding favors truly special.
There are wedding favors that you can present by themselves. Mostly for practical or decorative favors, such as candles or bottle openers, you can simply place a ribbon or tie a small lace around them instead of placing them in boxes. You can have the ribbon especially printed with your names or some information about the wedding such as venue and date.
For some that would really need boxes, especially for ones that are fragile, you can purchase regular or ordinary boxes instead and have them hand-painted. There is minimal cost involved but it is still way cheaper than buying special favor boxes. Also, your guests will like that you took the time to customize them.
You may use foil wraps as alternatives to organza bags or other small bags that you will use for packaging. They are cheaper and they have that classic appeal when it comes to wrappers.
For decorative items, you can purchase embellishments that are symbolic of weddings such as heart charms, your initials, intertwined hearts, or doves. You can tie them and hang them around your favor for a truly artistic appeal. While most comes in silver, you can find some in specialty bridal stores or on online wedding favors stores that come in a variety of colors. Choose one that is the same hue as your color motif or one that will complement it.
At times, preparing wedding favors gets just a little attention from brides. However, this small item may actually turn into one of the most loved parts of the wedding. Decorating wedding favors is easy, and it can be fun. While you have a large number of favors to decorate, ask a few friend or family members to come over to help you with it. It may no longer be a surprise anymore but what’s important is that they get to appreciate and feel that they made a contribution and assisted you in the preparations.
