Weddings are made more special when the couple puts their own personality and style into the wedding. But sometimes even if this seems to be the case already, couples fall into the trap of being all too traditional and in the process, some aspects of their wedding becomes ordinary.
For wedding favors, this need not happen as there are ways on how you can make your wedding favor go beyond the usual. Here are some suggestions on how you can turn an ordinary wedding favor into something extra special.
If your hometown or the wedding venue offers unique items or delicacies, why not give these items as wedding favors? Especially if you have a destination wedding, giving chilies, a small bottle of authentic salsa dip, or a Mexican hat when having a Mexican wedding will truly be unique. You and your guests have traveled far already to make your wedding special so complement these by giving wedding favors that are hard to find. Or pineapple jams and decorative mini surf boards for a beach or Hawaiian wedding can make your wedding truly memorable.
Not your ordinary wedding favors, elegant and classy wedding favors such as crystals, porcelain jewelry boxes or half bottles of liquor makes for wedding favors that are rarely received. You can personalize these by purchasing the ones that are the same as your color motif or in another complementary shade.
If you have a baseball inspired wedding, complement its uniqueness and fun not by giving the same old bookmark or paperweight favor but by giving a baseball inspired favor as well, such as baseball cut cookies or wine stoppers with the shape of a baseball bat. You can come up with so many unique wedding favor ideas simply by coordinating it with your wedding theme.
Placing your favor in special boxes or putting personalized hang tags can make an ordinary favor look special. Pay attention not just to the main favor but also to the packaging to make a unique wedding statement.
Wedding favors may just be small items but they carry with them a big appreciation for the guests. If you want a wedding that is truly is special in every way, do not alter the mood by giving ordinary favors that your guests might forget as soon as they get home.
Prepare special favors – whether practical or edible – because what’s important is that your guests feel that you have placed time and effort as well in giving them the favors, as much as they have put time and effort as well in making your wedding memorable.

Suggestions for Unique Wedding Favors
No bride wants to have the same wedding that is just like everybody else’s. With so many things to decide on in a wedding, there will be differences but only when it comes to the style, preference, and approach of the couple. While wedding favors come in different forms, shapes and sizes, the popular ones are sadly the most common ones. If you want to have unique wedding favors to give away, here are some things you might consider to come up with a wedding favor that is truly one of a kind.
If you already have a wedding favor in mind, make it unique by accessorizing it or placing them in special favor bags or boxes. You can use the favor in a way that it becomes an accessory, or use charms and embellishments as the accessories.
Use a color that will stand out. Instead of the usual white or favors that are transparent, play with the colors and use one that will truly highlight the essence of your wedding favor.
Homemade favors are of course, like no other. The common homemade wedding favors such as marmalade, candles, or cookies will be not so common once they know that this is a personal recipe or personally made.
Ask your family or friends for ideas on unique favors. If you have a wedding coordinator, she is the one who is in the loop about the latest ideas on wedding favors. She will be able to direct you to her contacts about wedding favors that are special and unique.
Have a unique theme. Sometimes, it all starts with the theme of your wedding. There might have been a number of classic weddings in your circle already. Or maybe some have had their fairytale theme wedding already. Talk to your wedding coordinator or research on other wedding themes that are rarely used.
Coming up with unique wedding ideas requires thinking out of the box. But at the same time, remember not to overdo it as it might come a little ‘off’ to your guests. Make it especially unique and not weird and distasteful. Going all black is unique, but may not be special or memorable in a good way.
Take the time to make your wedding favor special. After all, it is all their effort and time and blessing that have made your wedding day successful. Thank them by getting wedding favors that they will appreciate for a long, long time.

Unique Wedding Favors for a Memorable Wedding
Every couple will want their wedding to be remembered for the right reason. While some mishaps may occur, they will still want their wedding to stand out from other wedding celebrations for great and memorable things that happened. You can make your wedding special by giving it a personal touch. Or make it extra special by giving or showing something extra whether in the invitation, the menu, or in any other detail.
For wedding favors, there are many types of favors available. They can be decorative, edible or practical. It might be difficult to choose one and what’s even more difficult could be finding one that is unique and special. Listed below are some suggestions you can incorporate in your wedding.
- Oil bottles can be a refreshing break from the classic miniature wine bottle favor. They come in different sizes, different colors, and different styles as well. You can choose a design that is as unique as your personality.
- Another favor that can be practical is a dipping dish. They can be used as décor on tables or use them in the kitchen. Dipping dishes are readily available but for personalized ones, you can have them ordered and custom-made.
- A jewelry box is also not your usual wedding favor. You can give a simple one, or a mini jewelry box but no matter what design or size you have, jewelry boxes are always elegant to give.
- Photo frames that are made of porcelain also make for a unique and special wedding favor. You can put your photo or wedding details to further personalize them.
- Use personalized ribbon (with your wedding details printed on the ribbon itself) to tie your wedding favor.
- Another unique alternative that can save you on cost as well is making your own wedding favor. If your family and friends love a special homemade cookie recipe you have, or a special cupcake recipe, you can make your own favors for the ultimate personal and unique favor. You can put them in boxes that have the same shade as your color motif. Or you can top them with candy sprinkles with complementing colors.
If you will be hiring a wedding coordinator, ask her or him for suggestions as to what unique wedding favors are available. She may be able to share some more wedding ideas and her thoughts as well on the color and packaging. What is important is that you think out of the box and come up with a wedding favor that will show your style and make your wedding standout from other weddings.

Have a Ringing Wedding Favor – Give Personalized Bell Wedding Favors
Bells are one of the symbols used in weddings. Heart, doves, or rings are ever-present in wedding ceremonies, but as traditional as it may seem, bells are often used as wedding favors. Bell wedding favors can range from practical ones to decorative ones. Whether as accessory or the main favor itself, there are different ways on how you can present bells as wedding favors.
Here are some suggestions you can choose from when it comes to bell wedding favors. Remember to call your supplier beforehand as personalized wedding favors may take weeks to complete.
If you can stretch your budget, standard bells can be customized so that they can print your wedding details or your photo on the side of the bell. Order in advance as some suppliers may take weeks to complete this since you are ordering in bulk.
Some can make bells as décor made of crystal. Opt to have this instead for a more classy or elegant favor. You can display them on tables before giving them away but have specially boxed individually so that the guests will not have a hard time carrying them on the way home.
Instead of the regular box packaging for your favors, have bell-shaped boxes instead. Especially if you are giving chocolate balls as favors, have your carton in a bell shape instead of the usual box or foil wrap.
If your favor will really require a box or paper wrapping, use bells as accessories and tie them together with the ribbon or lace as you finish wrapping.
There are bells in special mini sizes and you can opt to have this instead of the regular size. You can put ribbon or lace towards the edge of the bell, or put mini cards with your wedding details on it. For some bell wedding favors available online, they have great handle designs such as bride and groom, castle, or heart.
While bells may seem traditional, you can give them a modern touch and decorate them to make it favor-worthy. Be creative and explore more ways on how you can make an ordinary bell romantic and elegant enough for your wedding.
Your guests will truly appreciate your wedding favor that is both unique and can be practical as well. If you will be preparing or decorating them yourself, make sure you have enough time to decorate every piece and not decorate only a few ‘special’ pieces. Each guest deserves the special attention and time as they have given their time and presence as well in attending your wedding.
