Remember
those little tulle sacks filled with candies at your sister's wedding? Those
wedding favors are one of the most important parts of planning your big day. If
it's easier for you, try and think of it not as "your" day, but make
your guests feel special with favors showing your appreciation to them for
coming to see you and the one you love wed.
Creativity
is the key when it comes to new ideas, and of course it also depends on your
overall theme and budget. There are lots of traditional and common favors that
could go with any theme, and most of them can be done on almost any budget.
Like mentioned before you could certainly enlist your family and girlfriends to
throw together some tulle sacks tied with ribbon filled with candies to set at
each place setting.
Speaking of
place settings you can also create your own place settings as well. You can
choose a sit down dinner or a buffet style dinner, so this decision will change
your table settings a little bit. With a sit down dinner, you may be more apt
to assign every one of your guests to a specific table, taking into
consideration people's beliefs, and things they could have in common. In this situation
you could take very inexpensive photo holders that have a base with a rod
coming out where the top of it holds the picture, or in your case your custom
place card. Taking time and putting a personal touch on your place cards will
certainly help to make your guests feel like you care they are there without
having to purchase gifts for them.
Favors or
gifts aren't just for the guests of the wedding, it's important to remember
your wedding party as well. Your bridesmaids, maid of honor, and groomsmen
often will go through hell and back to make sure everything goes smoothly and
as planned. Personalized gifts come in all different varieties and are a
beautiful way to tell the friends who obviously love you very much thank you.
Groomsmen
and the best man will appreciate a nice personalized watch if you have the cash
for it, but if you can't splurge for that try a sturdy pocket knife, or even a
gift card to their favorite restaurant or store. The bridesmaids and maid of
honor are generally a little easier to shop for. Baskets with skin and hair
products are always a safe bet, but of course a nice bracelet with their
birthstone is also a fantastic thank you gift.
Favors and
gifts are an important part of your planning process. They offer your guests
and wedding party a nice thank you for putting up with you and your soon to-
be- husband during the planning stages. Whether you decide to take the tasks on
yourself, or pay someone else to do it it's certainly the thought that counts
and it will make your day that much more special.
