Elegant Wedding Favors for All Seasons

You have a special personality and so it can be with the wedding favors you choose to give out. If you are planning an elegant wedding why not offer elegant wedding favors that match your wedding colors and theme as well.

Favors at your wedding are the perfect way to say thank you to your guests for taking their time to share in your special day. You can create a lasting memory of elegance regardless of the actual theme. You just need the right memento that will make the reception a perfect match to the ceremony itself.

One idea is to hand out gifts based on the season of the year when you wedding is held. If you are doing an outdoor ceremony in the spring or summer you can use mini flower pots and include a special thank you message and written by you. If you are having a fall wedding you could use autumn candles, which will really complement the season your wedding is being held.

Many people choose to get married in Las Vegas and want to have an elegant theme based around the flair and excitement that Las Vegas provides. Even if this is a black tie affair can use something simple like poker themed tokens with your wedding date on them as a remembrance of your special day.

You can add elegance by giving a gift that is personalized with your initials, a romantic poem, or the date and location of your wedding.

Holiday votive candles with your names and the date of the big day can be very refined. An elegant wedding favor can be personalized tins with colorful bath confetti as well.

For a winter ceremony create a lasting impression by decorating your tables with Snowflake Gel Candles which is a very the epitome of elegant favors. Personalized wedding gifts to your gifts can offer you the chance to do almost anything. You could give a garden seeds or even something simple such as a pack of candies. The elegance is all in how it is presented.

Today a popular way to appreciate your guests is to give a CD that the both of you have put together with music you love. Graphics can be created with elegant look to this CD package. You can personalize it by adding your picture, wedding date, or a favorite saying.

Another excellent way to remember your big day is to give a DVD of the events of that as a gift. These can be put together during the reception or even sent at a later date to all who attended.

If your budget is tight, edible treats like personalized tea packets or coffee. You can buy stylish gift bags or mini brocade boxes that will hold inexpensive mints or chocolates for your guests.

One way to stay within a budget is to do some pre-wedding planning and shop in advance for specials on favors that fit the wedding theme you are going for.

When looking for elegant wedding favors you can come up with all kinds of ideas and find gorgeous keepsakes on any budget for any style of wedding.

Suggestions for DIY Wedding Favors

With today’s brides looking for the best ways to cut their wedding budgets, creating your own wedding favors has become a chic and popular idea. Yet, the best do-it-yourself, or DIY wedding favors, are those that look like they were store bought. Buying items at discount chains, and in bulk, will definitely help you stretch your dollar as much as possible. There are many ways to accessorize the items you bought to give them the appearance of professionally created wedding favors.  Still, the best part of DIY wedding favors is that you are free to be as creative and funky as you would like.  Nothing is more customized or more personal than DIY wedding favors.

Candles

Candles make great DIY wedding favors, since they can be purchased in bulk and are usually pretty inexpensive. The variety of sizes and colors make them a big hit regardless of the style of wedding favor that you are trying to create.  Buying tag sheets are a quick and easy way to turn do it yourself wedding candles from glob to glam. The variety of tag sheets available is so enormous, that you have the option of creating a favor that is either classy or funky, or anything in between. You should also never underestimate the wow factor that is received from monogrammed ribbons.

Wedding Favor Box Kits

Wedding favor box kits are also very easy to create, and are a big hit amongst weddings.  The best thing about these favors is that you can take them a step further and fill the boxes with personalized candies, confetti, or anything else you like. You could also leave the boxes empty for your guests to enjoy filling themselves.  Similar to candles, wedding favor box kits can be easily accented with personalized tag sheets and a beautiful ribbon.  Similar to box kits are the newer trend of favor box cones and mini bags.

Do it yourself wedding favors often allow you save money since you are buying your items in bulk. This allows you to feel free to create your own wedding favor marketing department. You can personalize anything for your guests from water bottles to candy, and anything else you can imagine.  To ensure that everything has that professional look, you can also purchase the personalized labels or tags to place on them.

Potted Plants

Small potted plants are becoming a popular eco-friendly gift in the recent years.  If you have time, and a green thumb, consider creating small potted plants for your guests. These plants can first be used as place cards, and then can be planted in their yards after the wedding is over.  Although this is a DIY wedding favor project that is more involved than most, the fruits of your labor will be earth friendly and unforgettable.

Do it yourself wedding favors can also be based on the season, theme, or location of your wedding.  For example, wedding held in December may incorporate personalized candy canes. While, beach weddings may allow guests to leave with tiny vials of sand.  A few fall weddings have utilized pine cones.  However, this may be a great opportunity to create DIY boxes or cones and fill with pumpkin seeds to commemorate the time of the year.

For the computer savvy, creating wedding favor bookmarks are also a great way to show your family and friends that you care.  Bookmarks are cheap and easy to make yourself, and they can be personalized with quotes, poems, scriptures, or whatever you may like.

If you are a real techie, then consider creating your own electronic wedding favors, such as mixed cds of the songs that will be played at your wedding, or a picture cd of pictures of the bride and groom throughout the course of your relationship. You can also use tags and labels to give the gifts a more professional feel.

Another way to get creative is to introduce any and all cultures that represent both families.  By infusing DIY wedding favors with cultural tidbits such as cloth patterns, parables, and other symbols of your culture.  This not only adds creativity to your DIY wedding favors but also acts as away to bring the various cultures together.

Many brides worry that do it yourself wedding favors are so time consuming during a planning process when extra time is scarce. However, DIY wedding favors are so easy to handle that, after enlisting your bridal party and family members as extra helpers; you will be done in no time and satisfied with the final product.

Many brides consider throwing production parties with your bridal party.  Putting your bridesmaids and groomsmen to work can be a wonderful pre-wedding bonding experience.  This is a great way to create lasting memories of your wedding, have fun with your friends, and, with the exception of the cost of snacks, get free labor.

Tips from Marilyn: Clever DIY Wedding Ideas

Having a DIY wedding is one of the top ways to save a lot of money on your wedding day. Do-it-yourself projects can be just as beautiful and functional as their more expensive counterparts but at a fraction of the cost.  Creating elements of your wedding together with your fiancé can become a treasured memory as well as a huge cost savings!

DIY Save the Date Magnets

Start saving money with the very first purchase for your wedding day—your Save the Date announcement. In the past, you needed to place a special order at a specialty printer in order to print save the date magnets or announcements. Now you can print them yourself on your home computer. Complete kits for DIY save the date wedding magnets allow you to personalize the date, colors and images on professional looking magnets.

DIY Wedding Invitations

Wedding invitations can easily be created on your own without sacrificing quality. Today’s wedding invitation kits feature quality papers and unique embellishments, resulting in professional looking invitations. Even the response cards and return envelopes are included in the do it yourself kits.

Add an even more personal touch by having a custom monogram stamp created so you can make your own envelope seals, note cards or thank you notes.

Tip: If you don’t have a quality printer at home, you can design your wedding stationary at home and then have a copy shop print it for you.

DIY Favors

Wedding favors are easy to make yourself because they are a gift from the heart. If you choose a ready-made wedding favor, you can personalize it to your wedding theme or even to each individual guest.  By adding ribbon, a printed label or card can increase the perceived value of your wedding favors without breaking the bank.

DIY Wedding Programs

Wedding programs can represent another large chunk of cash out of your wedding budget. But if you print your own, you can pocket the tremendous savings. DIY wedding program kits include quality cardstock or cover stock papers, a template and often embellishments such as ribbons.

Printed on your home computer (or at a quick print shop), they can be personalized and designed to reflect your style and wording.

DIY weddings are just as elegant as traditional, more costly weddings. Only you and your fiancé will know the corners you cut. And you can enjoy spending the money saved on a spectacular honeymoon!

Thanks and have a day as fabulous as yourself,

Marilyn
