Sweet thoughts on your favors

Submitted by 5starweddings on August 30, 2008 – 1:38 amNo Comment

Sweet thoughts on your favors.

If you decide to have your favors  in bags, boxes, or pouches, be creative. With a little time and effort you can always hand craft your favors. Why not make your bags, pouches from felt or ribbon, or use opulent velvets and tassels. Little boxes lined with coloured paper are charming containers for cookies or chocolates and can be made months in advance. Make sure that your gift contains a message somewhere, for example a hand written luggage label or a little card. Or putting it in an unexpected place  the inside fortune cookie, or printed on the inside of the wrapping paper.

If the favors are all arranged together make sure your guests know to take one home. Place a handwritten card among them with a few words like for you or please enjoy. Alternatively bridesmaids can hand out the favors from decorative baskets.

Here are some of my favorite favors:

Little luxury cookies are a perfect present if presented well. Or even novelty cookies into cellophane bags.

If you decide to go with the traditional almonds, why not put them into tiny boxes decorated with silk flowers, rather than tying them up in tulle.

Give each guest a bulb planted in a small terracotta pot or small aluminum tin, or even in a glass filled with pebbles.

Scented candles are unusual containers are a lovely gift. You could even make your own using shells or empty coconut halves.

A lottery ticket is becoming very popular, you can put one in an envelope with some confetti and a personal note form the bride and groom.

Plant little grasses in cacti in miniature buckets or pots.

Tiny pots of honey symbolize a sweet and fruitful marriage, why note try rather different honey that no one has had before like thyme or lavender.

You can also make or buy some gorgeous soaps and present them in little pouches tied with pretty ribbon.

As you can see, there are plenty of ideas for wedding favours, just be creative and have fun choosing what you have decided.
