Elegant Wedding Reception Favors
Wedding favors are one of the more interesting aspects of planning a wedding but often left a little late in the preparations. Ideas for treats are generally plentiful so there are bound to be enough to suit your budget and taste. This is important because it can take a great deal of stress when you realize the big event is rapidly approaching and these haven’t been organized.
One option for an easy wedding favor, especially popular with the ladies is flowers. 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.
Many people who choose flowers decide on a single red rose for each guest as a symbol of their love. 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.
About 75 percent of people will use candy as it is an easy wedding favor that always pleases which can be simply presented in a box. A simpler but possibly more interesting method is to present the candy that does away with expensive centerpieces altogether. This method has been taken from an idea used by families at Christmas and uses a large glass bowl filled with different types of candy.
You can then provide each wedding guest with a small bag and a note encouraging them to enjoy the candy in the centerpiece. Your guests will fill up the presentation containers with the candy in the centerpieces making this an extremely convenient gift which does not involve any wrapping.
An alternative to using candy is a picture frame which can double up as a place holder just for the occasion. The only problem with giving photo or picture frames as a wedding favor is when you have to wrap each picture frame individually. By using the picture frames as placeholders provides a way around this, making it a gift that does not need to be wrapped.
For those of you that like an easy wedding favor that is a little different then why not use a local photographer, you can have each guest pose for a shot which can be presented to them at the wedding reception. The photos can be printed out whilst the reception goes on and the guests will have a pleasant surprise at the end of the evening when they leave as their photo will be waiting for them. Everyone will appreciate this wedding favor as it is a reminder they can cherish for many years. If the photographer can arrange a slide show, the guests not only get a personal memento but they also get the opportunity to see how the photos turned out for all of the other guests as well.
