Resources: Favorite Favor Ideas
Favors today come in such an impressive array of styles and choices that they've become a means of enhancing the overall effect of your celebration. No longer goodies dispensed at the door, today's favors serve the double duty of not only meaningfully showing your appreciation of your guests, but they also actually enhance your venue, thereby giving more value for your dollars. Being a "take home" piece of the celebration makes them more meaningful keepsakes.
Use your favors to enliven your tables with your theme through the use of place card holders or place card frames either at each place setting or to make a dramatic and lasting first impression on your escort table. Decorative candle favors or pretty favor containers that double as place card holders will add flair at each setting. Photo coasters with placecards inserted in the photo openings also make for a unique means of directing your guests to their places. A small and thoughtful gift placed on each guest's napkin makes an attractive presentation. Theme related cookie cutters used as napkin rings add a touch of whimsy that won't be forgotten. Many of our larger frames are well suited to table numbering and are especially attractive when paired with a coordinating smaller placecard frame at each setting.
Be creative in your approach to presenting your favors. A glass or silver pedestal platter heaped with shimmery organza bags filled with elegant Jordan almonds or fun wedding candy conversation hearts not only makes for a romantic and tempting centerpiece, but will also show your appreciation at your event's end. Many of our favors can double as centerpieces when arranged in an attractive and clever way.
Some favors, such as our charming candle lamps, are especially suited to accenting other areas in your setting, such as your cake table, hors d'oeuvre station or guest book table. Play up a coffee station with demitasse spoons or unique coffee shaped candles. The bar or beverage station is a great place to heighten your theme with attractive theme-related coasters, bottle openers or stoppers or wine charms. Set a table of photos of you and your new husband, or perhaps even your parents and grandparents in their own wedding finery, to bring a very personal touch to your venue.
Unique wedding favors used as decorative elements can be great icebreakers. Playful favors such as these whimsical flipflop place card holders and also these stylish gift box note favors will have your guests talking about how clever you are.
Joyful Bride Online has many favors that can heighten your decorating scheme while actually servicing your guests at your affair. Spreader favors will delight your guests with your attention to detail. Stylishly and romantic silver salt and pepper shakers not only provide a pleasant twinkle when they grace your tables, but make memorable keepsakes because of their actual function at your festivities. Wedding kissing bells are attractive either at each setting or make for an attractive presentation when artfully arranged on a pretty platter or serving tray.
You may want to use some of your decorative favors as prizes for such activities as the "longest married couple" dance or "best toast". They'll be doubly appreciated for having been a trophy of sorts.
Most of all, today's favors give you an inexpensive means of putting your signature on your event. Joyful Bride Online has large selection of favors that give you the opportunity to share the celebration of your union with the personalization of your names or monogram in a way that is uniquely you. Monogrammed mint tins announce the newly married couple with flair. Candy filled pillow packs with your names and date attractively printed on a matching band are a fun and colorful way to echo your wedding colors. Personalized thank you tags announcing your names and the date are a wonderful means to add a personal touch to whatever favors you choose.
Considering the small details will make a lasting and poignant impression in the minds and memories of your family and friends. Joyful Bride Online's favors are designed for their decorative qualities as well as their potential keepsake value while being easy on your budget.
