Every bride hopes that their wedding favors will be unique to any her guests will have received before. But have you ever noticed no matter how many websites you visit or stores you browse around, all the wedding favors seem to be the same?
Wedding favors are big business & many retailers, especially those online, are taking advantage of drop shipping schemes run by wholesalers & retailers to offer wedding favors alongside their other products. It may seem to many that unique wedding favors are non-existent & in fact choices are limited to the favor ranges they see before them.
But with some imagination & a bit of creativity you can create unique wedding favors. Here are a few tips on how to do it.
Packaging - presentation of your favors is every bit as important as the favors themselves. Choose packaging which coordinates with your wedding colors or theme. If you can’t find it in your colors then choose a plain neutral color & accent it with ribbons, stickers or some other embellishment. Pretty packaging can turn the plain & ordinary into something oh so unique!
DIY – Creating your own wedding favors is not as daunting as you think. Cookie favors are very popular & extremely quick & inexpensive to produce. If you are not confident about producing the iced creations you may have seen in magazines, why not make mini chocolate chip cookies or shortbreads? Remember your packaging can give you all the decoration you need.
Personalize it – many of the wedding favor sites will offer personalization on many of its favors. This certainly makes them unique, adding your own wedding monogram to a chocolate wrapper or items such as golf balls will certainly make them unique & unlike anything your guests will have received before!
Go Artisan – Look for unusual craft sites or specialist shops for local crafts or artisan goods. Asian shops can provide a wealth of little goodies perfect for wedding favors or go online to websites such as “Etsy” for some beautiful & unique handicrafts.
Picture this – Photo booths have been popular at wedding receptions in recent years & providing your guests with a couple of free tickets can give them a wedding favor to remember! If you cannot afford a photo booth, then ask your wedding photographer to take pictures of each guest or ask a friend with a digital camera to do it for you.
A bit of creative thinking is all it takes to come up with unique wedding favors that will delight your guests. From packaging to making your own, injecting just a little of your own personality into them will make your favors different & special.
Inspiration can come from many sources, but so long as you coordinate them with your wedding theme or style then it is perfectly possible to have unique wedding favors which your guests will cherish long after the wedding is over.
