Easy Wedding Favors

Choosing wedding favors can be the one part of the wedding planning that is easy and stress free. Even though it is simple to choose wedding favors, it is best not to leave shopping for them to the last minute. When you realize that the wedding day is fast approaching and the wedding favors have not been purchased, it is then that a simple task will add on to the already stressful time. Avoid this at all cost. In this article you will find several simple ideas that will help make shopping for wedding favors fun and easy.

One of the easiest wedding favor ideas is the use of flowers. There is practically no preparation involved in this wedding favor and depending on how many guests you have at the wedding you may not have to order the favors well in advance. You might consider giving your guests a single red rose as a favor. This is extremely fitting because a rose is a symbol of love. And the fact that it does not need to be wrapped adds to the convenience in using a rose as your wedding favor. Have the roses delivered to the location for the celebration. Once the tables have been set for the wedding, request a staff member, a friend or family member to place a single rose across the place setting for each guest. You can also select a flower which is used in your centerpiece and instruct your florist to place one flower at each place setting when they arrange the centerpieces.

Another creative idea for a wedding favor is using candy. Small boxes, tins and baskets are some of the more traditional ways of using candy as wedding favors. But a unique idea and one that will help with reducing cost for centerpieces is to place a large bowl filled with candy in the middle of each table. Notes can be used to encourage the guests to enjoy the candy and bags can be provided to allow guests to take additional candy home. Here again is a favor that does not need wrapping and the candy centerpiece can be as simple or elaborate as you desire.

Pictures frames are a very easy wedding favor especially if they are used as place card holders. Pictures frames are frequently used as wedding favors but must people spend a great deal of time wrapping each favor individually to create a beautiful presentation for the guests. However, this is not the only way to give a gift of picture frames. Wrapping each frame individually can be a lengthy process and can generate great deal of additional stress for the bride and the groom if they are struggling to get a lot of last minute things done in the days before the wedding. However, if you use the picture frames as a place card holder you do not have to worry about wrapping the favors for your guests. This makes it much easier to give a picture frames as favors.

A final thought for a very quick wedding favor is to provide each guest a digital photo of themselves at the wedding. You can achieve this by hiring a photographer to take a picture of each couple as they arrive at the wedding reception. You can request that the photographer bring a high speed printer along to print the photos out quickly. This way you can distribute the photos before your guests begin to leave the reception. This is a great idea for a wedding favor because your guests will likely be dressed up and will welcome the chance to pose for a professional photo. You can even ask the photographer if it is possible to put together a quick slide show presentation which the guests can view after all of the photos have been taken. Finally, presenting each guest with their own photograph of themselves would be a fun gift. This is easily accomplished by hiring a photographer to take pictures of all the guests as they arrive at the reception. As your guests will already be dressed for this special occasion, they will probably enjoy having a professional photographer taking their pictures. The goal is to have the pictures ready to be distributed to the guests before they leave the reception. With the use of a high speed printer your photographer should be able to meet this time frame and if time allows, it may be possible to have a slide show of all the pictures at the end of the reception. This way all the guests would receive their own pictures as individual keepsakes of your wedding and well as get to enjoy seeing pictures of all the other guests.
