Wedding Favor Boxes with Flair

Saturday, December 26th, 2009

Your wedding is special, and it should be shared and enjoyed with all of your loved ones. As a gift of thanks to your friends and families desire to be a part of your “Big Day”, wedding favors boxes are an economical yet intimate way to show your appreciation. Think about the possibilities when you are choosing your wedding favor boxes:

 

Texture. The possibilities are endless when choosing wedding favor boxes for your guests. While it is not a significant matter, you may want to consider the material when making your final choice.

 

Paper. Whether cardboard or cardstock, wedding favor products that are made from paper can be both beautiful and troublesome. Plan their transportation ahead of time to prevent squishing, or exposing them to harmful weather like wind and rain.

 

Plastic. Although less green than paper, plastic is more durable and may be a better choice as a favor when including edible contents such as chocolates or other candies.

 

Color. Of course, you want to consider the color when deciding upon your decorations. Wedding favor boxes are available in a large variety of styles. Therefore, you have the option to either coordinate with the colors of the wedding reception party or you could use the wedding favor boxes to make a statement to your loved ones.

 

Coordinating. To synchronize your color selections from the ceremony, compliment coordinating colors for your favor boxes. You may decide to use varying shades of the same colors on each of your reception tables to help guests find their places.

 

Contrasting. Take advantage of the available styles of favors by branching out and adding a bit of off-the-wall flair to your after-service celebration. You could choose to contrast pastels with primary colors, or perhaps simple black and white favors boxes might fulfill your need.

 

Design. One of the most difficult decisions when selecting wedding favor boxes is the design. Although some brides will prefer to follow a chosen theme, others may decide to take a different approach to picking the perfect favor.

Personal. To show your guests how much you appreciate their attendance on your ”Big Day”, personalize your favor boxes by monogramming tags with names or initials. Your family and friends will value the time and attention you spent on them.

Conventional. If wedding favor boxes are the smallest of your worries, or your talents, why not consider a simple design of neutral colors. Simple favor boxes accented with exquisite trimmings will make just as bold a declaration as any elaborate design.

 

Cost. Never a trivial consideration, the pricing will most likely determine which wedding favor boxes are chosen. There are two issues that factor into the favor equation:

Container. Remember that the wedding favor box is only half the cost. When your budget is small, consider purchasing smaller and simpler favors and adding your own trimmings for a personal touch.

Contents. The contents inside your boxes are the second ingredient to your wedding favors. It’s up to you and your budget to decide on how simple or extravagant you wish to make your wedding favors.

You can show your friends and family how much you appreciate them. If you are going to include these select wedding decorations in the celebration of your special day, keep in mind not only the costs and your ceremony’s theme but also your guests. After all, it is your family and friends whom you value as the most significant part of the wedding reception.

Helpful Tips & Ideas For Wedding Favors

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

Since we were little girls, all of us dream of having a fairy tale wedding. We used to imagine what kind of gown we would want to wear at our wedding, what kind of theme we would want to have and many other things. When the day is actually coming closer, there are so many details to take care of and it could sometimes become rather overwhelming. Choosing where to hold the reception, shopping for the wedding gown, thinking about decorations and arranging food for the guests are just a few of many items that come along with this celebration of love. And of course, all of us want to make our wedding the most memorable wedding for ourselves, families, as well as for the rest of the guests. Giving out wedding favors as a display of true appreciation is a long standing tradition. Everything that is seen at the wedding: from the reception place to the menu, will be certainly enjoyed on this special day. However, it is the wedding favor that will make the wedding to be remembered for a long time. So picking out the right party favor is extremely important. But with a great number of options out there for these little tokens of love and appreciation, sometimes, it could cost a tremendous amount of time to decide which one to choose. So, where do we start on deciding which wedding keepsake to choose? Here are some pointers to help us decide the right favors for our guests. By determining the theme and personality of the wedding beforehand, picking the appropriate wedding favors should be as easy as an ABC. Flowers, Flowers, Flowers! What is something that is most remembered about the wedding besides the brides’ gown and the food? Of course, flower arrangements – since they primarily define the theme of the wedding – Remember that different flowers represent various meanings of love. By choosing something like charming calla lilly bouquet candles, calla lily photo frames or even calla lilly design napkin holders as a favor can accent the symbols of beauty and exquisiteness of the wedding. A traditional yet timeless long stem rose crystal can enhance the elegance and romance of the magnificent wedding. Or if we want to intensify passion and exoticism, orchids gel candles or scented orchid-shape soap will be one of the most appropriate favors to share this special moment of your life. If we are one of the practical types, we may want to start our wedding favors selection by thinking about practical items such as key chains, coasters, CD cases and many more. One good thing about choosing practical wedding favors is that the guests will be using them often, and thus, our wedding will be remembered every time they use the favors we handed out. But some of us may think that practical items may not be as lovely as other decorative favors. We could, for sure, scratch that idea since there are so many items with sophistication and perfection. Who can deny a cute sandal shaped notepad that can go with a beach theme or even a chic jewelry pouch; not to mention a sweet pair of silver pear shaped salt and pepper shaker that could definitely leave our guests in awe. But wait. There are more to come. Some of us even want to go beyond the most common favors simply because we want to add more fun and attitude to the splendor of this ceremony. For instance, those who have passion for western theme could choose a shooter charm that enriches a personal touch of entertainment. Or perhaps choosing a unique ethnic theme such as a coaster painted with the word “love” in Chinese or Spanish will make the favors more exclusive and meaningful. In short, most of us may think that choosing an affordable wedding favor can be time consuming. But it does not have to be that much work once we have some tips on where to start. Always remember that it is the company of friends and family that make a wedding memorable. Rewarding those who come to share your special day with a thoughtful favor gift is a wonderful way to show your appreciation.
