Wedding favors, bridal shower favors and baby shower favors
can be just as much a part of the table decorations and
overall look of the reception as flowers, settings, and
linen.
It is your way of saying thank you to each person attending
your wedding or shower, so the presentation as well as the
gift itself should reflect your intentions.
Some thoughtful touches and creativity can speak volumes.
• Use pretty favors packaging. Beautiful wrapping
(gift boxes, ribbon, custom labels, etc.), and taking the
time to make wedding favors look clean, and tasteful will
show the effort no matter how simple the gift is inside.
• A popular idea is to have breakaway centerpieces,
where the centerpiece is made up of several elements that
come apart, each part able to be taken home by guests as
wedding favors. Breakaway centerpieces are often an
arrangement of flowers in several smaller vases. You can do
this with packaged wedding favors, stacking the boxes in the
middle and inviting guests to each take a favor before
heading home.
• Save space on the table for the food, and instead, hang
wedding favors from the chair. This is a creative way to
present your wedding favors, and also dress up the reception
chairs. Use a bag with handles to package the wedding
favors, or find a way to attach ribbon to the wedding favors
in order to hang it on a chair.
• Have a wedding favors tree. This idea works really
well with Christmas weddings. Give ornaments as wedding
favors, or something lightweight, like a bookmark, or a
charm. If a Christmas tree is out of season, get a potted
tree. Make your own wedding favors with glassine bags filled
with candy. Punch holes in the bags and string them up with
twine around the branches of a tree. Wedding guests can
untie the bags at the end of the evening for a sweet
memento.
• Pile wedding favors in baskets set by the door with
a note reminding guests to take one before parting.
• Give the kids something helpful to do at the
wedding reception. Ask them to walk around with baskets of
wedding favors and pass one out to each wedding guest. Make
sure they make it to each table and do not leave anyone out.
