Ideas for Wedding Favors

By Sarah Page

Whether you go with an edible treat (like brownies, cookies, candy or chocolate) or a little treasure to give your guests for a favor, you need to buy something to put that favor in. This can range from small paper or fabric bags to small gift boxes to tulle. Traditional favors use tulle as the material that the bride will put the favor and then she ties a ribbon and card to the bundle.

You can get as creative as you want and let your imagination run wild when you make your favors. If your favor is an edible treat, you will need to cover it somehow, so you might want to put it in a gift box. A small glass or gift box is absolutely perfect for those edible treats.

There is an abundant amount of resources online in regards to unique ways to create wedding favors. If you are strapped for time and can not create your own, there is a wide selection of choice sites that sell wedding favor supplies as well as pre-made wedding favors. For examples, you can order candle plates online to add candles to your wedding favors.

There are many different ways to improvise when it comes to creating a wedding favor box. For instance, you can take a take-out Chinese box, decorate it, and use it. Many people use this rather absurd idea and it works great. If you decide to give wedding fortune cookies, then look no further for a better idea!

Besides using boxes, you can use plastic bags. You can buy small bags in bulk and decorate them to fit the wedding scenery. Add some soaps, candles and a thank you note and you have a great, modern wedding favor. You can even go with a more fresh look by using glass jars as your container.

While flowers are not meant to be put in a box or in a bag however, a small vase with your ribbon and card tied to the vase is just perfect! If you plan on giving away real flowers, please make sure you have them in water. Many other things are not meant to be packaged, so make sure that you arrange them on tables in such a way that adds some style and a touch of your style to the tables.
