Provide Fabulous Wedding Favors

By David Trumble

Love is all about giving. A bride gives herself to her groom. A groom gives himself to his bride during the wedding ceremony. But, what about all those special people who have helped make your wedding a success? Here is the precious opportunity for the bride and groom to express their appreciation by giving wedding favors.

Sometimes, however, a couple will run out of money before they can give their attendants appropriate wedding favors to express their appreciation. Yet, is a token gift really adequate or acceptable?

You can prevent this calamity with a little creative thought and preparation. Today, there are thousands of inexpensive options available to you. All you have to do is find the ones that fit your situation.

Last minute things usually lead to disaster, but planned and processed actions usually lead to success. When it comes to giving the right wedding favors, advanced planning is essential.

Set a budget for your wedding favors. If you do not set a budget, you will almost certainly run out of money. Figure out exactly how much money you have to spend, and calculate how much money you have for each gift. If you plan to give your Best Man and Maid of Honor something bigger and better, figure in those costs. Set the money aside early.

Search the web for wedding stores like weddinghow.weddingstar.com or others. There are many choices available so explore. Look for the unique. Consider the costs. Think about how your favors may be received.

The figurine or nick-knack is one of the easiest choices. There are so many designs and if you don't see what you want, you can often inquire if your special interest is available as a special order.

Who does not love the flickering light of a candle? You can find them in so many sizes, shapes, colors, scents, and styles that you might even get cross-eyed. You can match the candles to the theme of your wedding or choose candles that express a certain ambience.

Sometimes the presentation is half the gift. By that I mean, packaging, wrapping, and the box itself can be a big part of the gift. Ribbons, decorative wrappers, and decorative trinkets like bells can turn an ordinary gift into something truly amazing.

Your attendants would love a personally created memento hand crafted just for them. They would treasure it for years because you made it. If you have special skills or hobbies, this may be a great option.

As a special gift to her bridesmaids, Donna designed and produced each of the gowns and custom fit each one. Your special skills and interests in many ways express who you are. What greater gift can you give that yourself?

If you are not crafty or are not inclined to fashion your own items, just consider all of your options: music, bells, picture frames, and so many more possibilities.

Theme weddings can make choosing wedding favors even easier. All you have to do is zero in on favors that reflect the theme. A porcelain castle would be great for a Medieval Themed wedding. A ship figurine would work for an ocean theme.

Do not wait until the last minute. Think ahead. Plan ahead. Buy ahead. The stresses will ease and you will be excited to give your wedding favors. Plan right not to start exploring the internet for all the wedding resources you need.
