Unique Wedding Favors - Your Guests Are Fond Of Them But You Despise Them!

These little item, the infamous unique favors can quickly become an afterthought for many that are planning their wedding. After all, it’s the very last thing to be considered and no one really sees them or cares about them. Again, this is erroneous and you will soon learn what a traditional and wonderful part of every wedding this small touch truly is. It even means more if you coordinate the location of your wedding with the theme throughout your wedding, including the wedding favors.

If you’ve ever been in the middle of planning a wedding you know as good as I do that it can be a harrowing experience. Many times couples get very close to calling it off because of their stress level and the anxiety of those around them. So with all of that going on, who has time to think of that tiny item that nobody cares about anyway; wine favors.

Traditionally, beach favors have been a part of bridal showers and weddings for hundreds and hundreds of years. Only a century ago, the success or failure of a wedding was estimated by the gift given the guests that attended. There is even an old wives tale which says: if your guests are not happy with your favor, you won’t be happy with your wedding and your marriage will not last. Don’t believe it! It really is just an old wives tale!

That being said, everyone realizes that with so many pressing ‘more important’ items on your agenda to tend to, that the favor is at the bottom of your list. And of course, who wouldn’t concur that your ceremony, where to have your reception and what kind of wedding you will have is much more important. But don’t allow frustration and stress to cause you to overlook the one item that your guests are taking home with them.

When you’re a wedding planner, you hear couple after couple complain that they don’t have time for their favor, I ask them, “What is the initial thing you see when you go to a wedding and sit down at your reception table?” Eventually, they reply, “The wedding favor!” I rest my case.

So, after all that has been said, how do you manage to get an incredible gift to give your guests and still handle the ‘more important’ tasks that need to be accomplished? It really is very very simple. While you are scouring for your gown, reception venue, flowers, etc. keep a sharp eye out for something wonderful and unique that you could use for your favor. When you find it, do not buy it! Look online for the same item or an item that is almost the same. You will literally save hundreds of dollars!
