How About Those Wedding Favors?
It is often the case that the simplest part of something, often takes the longest to arrange; wedding favors can be one of those. As a rule of thumb when organizing events, keep things simple as they have a habit of becoming complicated without any human intervention. There is no longer any need to get stressed about what favors you intend to use with the large range available these days it should make your decision easier and take less time.
One option for an easy wedding favor, especially popular with the ladies is flowers. Fortunately, as far as the bride and groom are concerned, apart from choosing which flowers to have, there is little for them to do.
A symbol of love, the red rose is one of the more popular choices and they do not require much preparation. 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.
Unfortunately flowers do not appeal to everyone, but with three in every four receptions using candy, this is an easy wedding favor that will. If you prefer, there is an even easier method to give candy which can also save money at the same time. This can be accomplished by using large bowls filled with different types of candy as the centerpieces on each table.
You can then provide each wedding guest with a small bag and a note encouraging them to enjoy the candy in the centerpiece. This could be called a self service gift because all you have to do is supply the candy and something to place it in.
Pictures frames can also work well especially if they are used as place card holders. The only problem with giving photo or picture frames as a wedding favor is when you have to wrap each picture frame individually. Almost all receptions have place names at the tables for the guests so this is an ideal way to present the frame without the need to spend time and more money on wrapping paper which will only be discarded.
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.
So to make sure each guest can take their photo with them, the photographer could take along a fast digital printer and the photos could be printed out whilst the guests are enjoying the reception. This is a way for everyone to have a wedding favor that will remind them of how nice they dressed and looked on the wedding day. Many professional photographers have small digital projectors so you could request one at the reception. This way your guests could see the images that had been taken during the day as they are projected onto a large screen.
