Unique Gift Ideas for Your Wedding Favors

by Aurelia M. Fleur

If you are planning your wedding in the near future, don't forget to start organizing your wedding favors as soon as possible. Fortunately, there are a number of different options which are very easy to arrange at the last minute. With this in mind, it should be one less item you have to worry about for your big day because your favors might just be a phone call away.

One option for an easy wedding favor, especially popular with women is flowers. The preparation for flowers is almost non existent other than deciding on what flowers to use which can be ordered reasonably close to the big day.

Many people who choose flowers decide on a single red rose for each guest as a symbol of their love. 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.

If flowers do not appeal to you then why not give candy a try as an easy wedding favor because it is always popular even if not as original as you would like it to be. 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. All you have to do is let each guest have the option to take whatever candy they like and you won't have anything more to do.

Pictures frames can also work well especially if they are used as place card holders. Although presentation is everything, there are ways around wrapping wedding favors and picture frames are an ideal example of how you can avoid this task. However, by using the picture frames to hold the place cards, you do not have to worry about wrapping them for your guests.

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 leaves with their photo, the photographer could take along a fast digital printer then they could be printed out whilst the guests are enjoying the reception. As everyone will be looking at their best this is a wedding favor they will really enjoy; seeing themselves this way in a professional photo. If the photographer can arrange a slide show, the guests not only get a personal memento but they also get the opportunity to see how the photos turned out for all of the other guests as well.
