Love is all about giving. A bride gives herself to her groom. A groom gives himself to his bride during the wedding ceremony. But, what about all those special people who have helped make your wedding a success? Here is the precious opportunity for the bride and groom to express their appreciation by giving wedding favors.
Sometimes, however, a couple will run out of money before they can give their attendants appropriate wedding favors to express their appreciation. Yet, is a token gift really adequate or acceptable?
You can prevent this calamity with a little creative thought and preparation. Today, there are thousands of inexpensive options available to you. All you have to do is find the ones that fit your situation.
The old adage says, “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.” When it comes to giving the right wedding favors this is right on the money. It is essential that you think ahead, plan ahead, and make your choices in advance. Then you can give your wedding favors with confidence. You will feel blessed and your attendants will feel appreciated.
Unless you are independently wealthy, set up a wedding budget. Know what you have to spend, what expenses you have, and what your priorities really are. You might entrust your wedding budget to your wedding planner, or do it yourself; but do it. In the process, be sure to include a budget for wedding favors and reserve the dollars ahead of time.
When you go to the internet and Google for wedding favors, wedding vows, etc.; a whole schmorgasboard of possibilities opens up. At online wedding stores you can find just about anything from the cute to the unique. You can quickly and easily compare prices and budget your purchases.
One of the most popular wedding favors is the figurine. You can find it in almost any design you wish from transportation vehicles to cutesy figurines. You may even find a source for customizable one-of-a-kind figurines.
Who does not love the flickering light of a candle? You can find them in so many sizes, shapes, colors, scents, and styles that you might even get cross-eyed. You can match the candles to the theme of your wedding or choose candles that express a certain ambience.
Have you seen gifts that looked so good, you really hesitated to even open them? Presentation can be a big part of giving wedding favors.
Your attendants would love a personally created memento hand crafted just for them. They would treasure it for years because you made it. If you have special skills or hobbies, this may be a great option.
Giving yourself makes an impressive gift. For example, Donna was an avid sewer who designed and sewed each of her attendants’ gowns for her wedding including her own. This was much more that a trinket.
If you are not crafty or are not inclined to fashion your own items, just consider all of your options: music, bells, picture frames, and so many more possibilities.
Theme weddings can make choosing wedding favors even easier. All you have to do is zero in on favors that reflect the theme. A porcelain castle would be great for a Medieval Themed wedding. A ship figurine would work for an ocean theme.
