Creative Wedding Favors  

Your color scheme, your theme and most of the big details are already planned for your wedding day. But you’re left with the table favors. Creative wedding favors are a must, especially if you have already taken the time and effort with all the other details of your big day.  

Personalized Confections 

     There are many options for personalized confections found at major retailers and even boutique, web-based stores that will make finding creative wedding favors easier than you think. Some sugary ideas to consider include small butter cookies with your new monogram written in icing or some candies wrapped with ribbons that have your names and wedding dates stamped on them. The Mars company now even offers personalized M&M’s that can be purchased in bulk, stamped with whatever you decide that may fit on a single piece of candy. They even offer different colors than the standard consumer pack so that you can match your color scheme.  

Making Both of You Happy  

     Your husband-to-be really wanted his alma mater to have some of the spotlight on your special day. You have already talked him out of the gold and green color scheme and using the fight song as your wedding march but you know at some point you are going to have to give in. When considering creative wedding favors, think beyond the typical pastel mints wrapped in tulle. Check for molded chocolates or stamped candies emblazoned with shapes or colors from his school of choice. Re-wrap them decoratively with tissue paper and ribbons for your guests. You will be happy the color pallet for your table settings isn’t destroyed and he will get to have a little piece of himself shared with your guests.  

Making Your Day Go Green 

     If you are a couple that share environmental protection as a passion, take a moment to share it with your guests using creative wedding favors that are environmentally friendly. Give each guest a small recycled paper box containing flower seeds with a note attached describing why the flower is special to you. You can also green up your table by offering a tree sapling placed in a container to match your color pallet for each couple or guest with instructions on how to plant and care for your gift.  

Golf Balls and Lip Gloss 

     We all have our quirks. We all have something about us that others remember us by. Whether you are a bride that compulsively applies lip gloss or a groom who will be sporting a fresh golf course sunburn on his wedding day, celebrate this passion with your guests. Golf balls can be stamped with your names or a signature message for the men and you can give miniatures of that lip gloss you always use or maybe a sample of your favorite perfume for the ladies. Wrapping your gifts in coordinating tissue paper or using small gift bags would also help to carry out your color scheme or theme.  

     Creative wedding favors tell a little piece of your story to your guests. It allows them to see the thought and detail you put in to a part of your wedding that could go by without much notice. By using creativity and thought, you leave a lasting memory a guest can take with them and keep long after your special day.
