Most couples planning a wedding see their special occasion as deeply personal. And so it should be. One way to express that is to create personalized wedding favors for their guests. It adds a connection to the bride and groom and gives the guests a special memento they can long remember.
There are several ways by which you can personalize wedding favors. The method used is usually dependent on the type of wedding favor to be given away.
Placecards allow the guests to locate their table at the wedding reception. But it's easy to go beyond simply putting the names of the guests - and the bride and groom - onto the card. You can personalize the placecard holder, as well.
There are several designs for holders, like a pineapple-shaped one for beach-themed weddings. How about a maple leaf-shaped for fall weddings? A snowflake-shaped one for a winter wedding, the wedding details may be printed embossed in the center of the holder. These personalized wedding favors serve as great decorations on the guests' homes.
A Las Vegas wedding calls for a number of things. One thing you may try is giving out decks of cards with your names in it with a logo of the hotel at the bottom. Don't forget to check with the hotel about any copyright or infringement law. Or you can give away shot glasses with poker chip designs or small buckets that contain chocolate poker chips.
Chocolate mints make great personalized wedding favors which guests will surely enjoy. There are many styles and colors to choose from. If you're in Las Vegas, look into the chocolate poker chips that you can personalize by having your names and wedding date embossed on the wrapper. If you plan to give coffee or tea as favors, you can easily include your wedding details and design on the label.
Wedding favor boxes and containers are an opportunity to further personalize your gifts to the guests. For instance, you can decorate them with ribbons and attach a personal message. Or you can have your favorite quote on a glass or crystal favor etched, put engagement pictures in decorated frames, or put a sticker on the bottom of miniature silver buckets.
Personalize tea lights by engraving the bottom of the tea light holder with your monogram, or you can simply place a sticker label that has your names and wedding date. If you're feeling creative, you can personalize the candles themselves. Place a personal message on the inside bottom of the tea light holder. Your guests will see this message only after the candle has melted. You can even have the candles molded into shapes to go with your wedding theme - like a starfish for beach-themed weddings, a little snowman for winter weddings, a flower for spring weddings, and many more.
A clever way to light the tea lights would be with personalized strike matches. The outside may be printed with embossed initials of the bridal couple, the inside will contain the sketch of a map to the reception. This will be one of the small details that will make the celebration more unforgettable.
No matter what gift item you choose for your wedding favor, you can always personalize even if it means only adding a small tag or something. Personalized wedding favors will always be appreciated as guests also like to be reminded on how and where they got a particular item.
