Wedding Guest Reception Ideas
If you are planning your wedding in the near future, here are a few wedding guest reception ideas. Don’t forget to start organizing your wedding favors as soon as possible. Many options now exist to fit almost any budget and even timescale if you are in a hurry. This should make things much easier for you and will be one less thing to worry about before the wedding day arrives.
Flowers are undoubtedly one easy wedding favor you can give to your guests. Owing to the nature of flowers, they can usually be left until later in the preparations which means the bride and groom will have less to worry about.
A popular choice is a red rose and as a symbol of love which is very fitting at a reception. 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.
If flowers do not appeal to you then why not give candy a try as an easy wedding favor because it is always popular even if not as original as you would like it to be. I like the idea that a number of receptions have started to use where the costly centerpiece is done away with completely. This just needs a large quantity of various candies placed in a large bowl on the middle of the table.
All you need to do after this is arrange for each wedding guest to have a small box where they can place their candy. This could be called a self service gift because all you have to do is supply the candy and something to place it in.
An alternative to using candy is a picture frame which can double up as a place holder just for the occasion. For many people that give picture frames as wedding favors, they spend too much effort wrapping them in presentation paper. However, by using the picture frames to hold the place cards, you do not have to worry about wrapping them for your guests.
A different but still an easy wedding favor is to supply every guest with a picture of themselves arriving at the wedding reception using the services of a professional photographer armed with a digital camera. 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. It is a nice gift and a wedding favor your guests will appreciate when they leave with a photo of how they looked on your wedding 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.
