WINTER WEDDING FAVORS Winter Wedding Favor Ideas
Most people at some point have been to a wedding where the wedding favors were so unusual and creative that all the guests were very impressed and talked about the wedding favors in conversations about weddings for years afterward. Most people have also been at a wedding or two where the wedding favors were so boring and bland that they were disappointed, and they talked about the poor quality of those favors for years afterward whenever weddings were mentioned. Every bride wants to be one of the ones whose wedding favors are so unusual and creative that everyone praises them, and with the wealth of information on the Internet and in wedding planning books these days it’s easy to come up with creative wedding favors for a winter wedding that everyone will love. Even if budget constraints mean that the most you can afford is some creatively wrapped Jordan almonds, choose the gold or silver foil coated Jordan almonds and package them in a creative way. It’s not about how much you spend; it’s about the creativity of the design and the packaging. Here are some creative tips you can use to pick the perfect winter wedding favors no matter what theme you choose.
Personalize it! No matter what your wedding theme is, give something personalized with your name, your new husband’s name, the date, and a message like “Thanks for celebrating with us!” on it. There are websites that create beautiful personalized stick on labels in hundreds of designs and color schemes for a moderate price. Stick these on everything from champagne and wine bottles to boxes of gourmet cocoas, packets of cookies or chocolates, CDs of romantic music that was played at the wedding, or just pop one on the front of whatever packaging you have chosen for the wedding. For example, if your theme is Christmas and you are giving each guest a package wrapped in Christmas paper that contains favors, put a personalized label on the front of the package. Or pop some labels on the poinsettias and give those out as favors at the end of the night. Stick with the theme If your theme is New Year’s Eve, then give out noisemakers, champagne, and confetti as favors. If your theme is Christmas, give out “presents” or give each guest a handmade Christmas tree ornament. If your theme is Valentine’s Day, give out small boxes of gourmet chocolates and homemade CDs of romantic music. The possibilities are endless, and don’t have to be pricey, if you are creative and hopefully crafty, or have crafty girlfriends. Enlist your bridesmaids’ help in making wedding favors to save money. With a little ingenuity and creativity you can pick the perfect wedding favors and not spend a fortune. Have a “planning party” with your bridesmaids to brainstorm ideas for wedding favors or search the Internet for creative and unusual ideas for winter wedding favors.
