The Wedding Favor - Help The Guests Remember The Day

A few decades ago, the best wedding favor guests were likely to get were the napkins, emblazoned with the names of the bride and groom, and the date of the ceremony. Today, with easy technology and personalized gifts readily available at an affordable price, wedding favors have become a true memento of the day. The wedding favor can be a functional part of the reception. For example, there are dozens of companies that offer glasses, mugs, wineglasses or shot glasses with names, dates and clip art etched onto them. Personalized items are an important business today and there are dozens of items that can be personalized with either words or photographs. For example, several photograph printing companies offer to put photographs on everything from playing cards to mouse pads to tee shirts. Often, family reunions use a photographed tee shirt as part of the reunion plan and similar plans are becoming more common wedding traditions. Wedding favors can be selected to reflect the bride's colors. Candles in the shades and shapes of the bride's cake are another popular wedding favor. Sometimes, the napkin rings double as wedding favors. A small keepsake wedding album is a good way to remind guests of the day, and baby pictures of both the bride and groom will remind guests of the couple's lives before they came together. Swizzle sticks, miniature hand bags, mints and candles can all become excellent wedding favors, especially if these mementos are packaged with notes to the guests from the bride and groom. A wedding favor that reminds guests of the day is another popular choice. For example, a penny, minted in the year of the wedding and mounted in a plastic cover with the bride and groom's names and the date of the wedding ceremony will likely be among the guests' favorite mementos.
