All too often, wedding favours are disregarded, disdained and discarded by the wedding guests, who were the persons foremost in the minds of the wedded couple when they purchased the small if somewhat expensive items. If that gets your wedding goat, then you ought to follow the following suggestions on getting favours that fall into favor with your guests.
And don t think either that you have to spend gazillions on these small items! With a little imagination and creativity and plenty of thoughtfulness, your wedding favours can please both your pockets and your guests!
Practical Items
These should be on top of your list! You might find those small trinkets cute, charming and cuddly but these will probably be shoved back into the recesses of the closet, if not directly thrown into the trash can and quickly forgotten. There goes your money!
Instead, keep in mind that your guests will lead ordinary lives after your wedding. As such, they probably will appreciate practical favours, which they can actually use to lighten up their lives, than those small trinkets found so charmingly cute. Besides, you will also probably have use for these practical wedding favours, with just one or two tucked away as souvenirs.
You might want to consider T shirts, throw pillows, cookie cutters, cutlery set, and kitchen utensils like bottle and wine openers, bubble bath packages, and even water bottles. Also, try not to include your smiling pictures as much as you possibly can. It s sweet of you but put yourself in your guests shoes. Do you really want to parade around in a T shirt that says Wedding of so and so with their grinning faces plastered all over it? Probably not.
Fun Stuff
If your wedding is on the informal side with just close family and friends in attendance, you might want to consider fun wedding favours that you can use during the reception. Just remember the times n you walked away happy with the party bag you have from a children s birthday party and you get the idea.
And even if you have a large guest list, fun favours are great ways to break the ice between guests. Maybe you can lead a fun game or two that provides for an opportunity for guest to use their favours while knowing their fellow guests.
Think yoyos, small stuffed animals, bubble bottles, fun board games, and even paddle balls and water guns. Just be sure that your wedding favours will not veer on the trying hard side and your wedding is an informal one albeit with a long guest list.
Romantic Things
Well, go for something that is romantic but still practical, maybe even edible. After all, it is a wedding and weddings are supposed to be romantic, divorce rates be damned! As they say, don t trouble trouble.
Anyways, you can opt for jars filled with sweat chocolate treats, CDs of your favorite love songs and DVDs of your favorite love story, maybe even a book of romantic poems. Again, do try to personalize these items without going overboard on the ego trip.
In the end, your wedding favours are your choices. Still, it is nice to know that your choice also made your guests happy!
