It is often the case that the simplest part of something, often takes the longest to arrange; wedding favors can be one of those. Many options now exist to fit almost any budget and even timescale if you are in a hurry. This is important because it can take a great deal of stress when you realize the big event is rapidly approaching and these haven’t been organized.
Flowers are undoubtedly one easy wedding favor you can give to your guests. Owing to the nature of flowers, they can usually be left until later in the preparations which means the bride and groom will have less to worry about.
A symbol of love, the red rose is one of the more popular choices and they do not require much preparation. It is a simple matter of asking one of your family to place the roses just before everyone is seated at the wedding reception table.
If you want to stick with a favorite easy wedding favor then use candy; it’s always a safe bet and it can be made to look attractive if nicely designed boxes or tins are used for storage. Some people now use a more convenient way to present candy to their guests. Now, how simple is a large glass bowl filled with candy going to be in the centre of the table?
To complete this idea, a small plain bag or carton can be left for each wedding guest to put their candy into. This could be called a self service gift because all you have to do is supply the candy and something to place it in.
An alternative to using candy is a picture frame which can double up as a place holder just for the occasion. Wedding favors that do not require any type of presentation are generally preferred and there is something you can do with picture frames that will avoid this problem. Almost all receptions have place names at the tables for the guests so this is an ideal way to present the frame without the need to spend time and more money on wrapping paper which will only be discarded.
A different but still an easy wedding favor is to supply every guest with a picture of themselves arriving at the wedding reception using the services of a professional photographer armed with a digital camera. It is a simple matter of bringing a printer along so the images can be printed off during the reception and are ready when the guests start to leave. It is a nice gift and a wedding favor your guests will appreciate when they leave with a photo of how they looked on your wedding day. Many photographers will also have a projector so could arrange a looping slide show of all the photos he had taken of the guests.
