Elegant Wedding Favors
Elegant wedding favors are what almost every wedding planner strives for, but few manage to pull off. Here are a few ideas that are both elegant and can be done within a budget.
Planning a wedding can be fun, stressful, but fun at the same time and one of the more interesting aspects is organizing the wedding favors. Ideas for treats are generally plentiful so there are bound to be enough to suit your budget and taste. This is a part of the arrangements, like the guest list and seating arrangement that will often cause unnecessary stress when there doesn’t have to be any.
An easy wedding favor option is flowers which really don’t take much to arrange but guests can enjoy. The preparation for flowers is almost non existent other than deciding on what flowers to use which can be ordered reasonably close to the big day.
A symbol of love, the red rose is one of the more popular choices and they do not require much preparation. You can simply purchase one for each guest and have a member of the catering staff, a friend or family member place one rose across each place setting after the tables have been set for the wedding reception.
Unfortunately flowers do no appeal to everyone, but with three in every four receptions using candy, this is an easy elegant wedding favor that will. If you prefer, there is an even easier method to give candy which can also save money at the same time. Now, how simple is a large glass bowl filled with candy going to be in the centre of the table?
You can then provide each wedding guest with a small bag and a note encouraging them to enjoy the candy in the centerpiece. This really is easy because each guest can choose whatever candy they like and there isn’t a single piece of wrapping in sight.
If you prefer not to give your guests more to eat then another option is a small picture frame and if you like, it can be used on the day as placeholders. Wedding favors that do not require any type of presentation are generally preferred and there is something you can do with picture frames that will avoid this problem. By using the picture frames as placeholders provides a way around this, making it a gift that does not need to be wrapped.
Another easy elegant wedding favor option to end this article is to arrange for a professional photographer to attend the wedding reception and take a photo of every couple as they arrive looking their best. All the photographer needs to do is to have a printer with him so he can give each guest their photo before they leave later in the day. This is a way for everyone to have a wedding favor that will remind them of how good they looked on the day. Many professional photographers have purchased small digital projectors so there is no reason why you couldn’t request one at the reception and this way your guests could see the images that had been taken during the day.
As you can see, elegant wedding favors are not so elusive.
