With vintage continuing to be a big trend for wedding themes, creating vintage style wedding favors on some creative thinking. It is not as difficult as you think to give your favors a vintage feel as it is easy to coordinate packaging and decoration.

Vintage wedding favors themselves would be almonds or chocolates but you can choose anything you like for your little gift. One of the nicest vintage favor ideas are bottle openings shaped like a bird which offer real vintage appeal. An alternative choice would have shaped candles such as birds or flowers and likewise this would be well for soaps.

But it is packaging your favors where you can really add some vintage flair. Check out your craft store for scrapbook papers with a vintage feel such as plaids, checks, bird and floral prints. These can be used as wrappings or by using a shape puncher you can create stylish tags or stickers to add to your favorites. Craft stores also supply a range of vintage style card like Kraft colored card and printed styles which can be cut to make thank you tags.

Ribbons and trimmings are another important part of creating a vintage look. Strips of cotton lace make a good replacement for ordinary ribbons and are just as cheap to buy. Grosgrain ribbon is a nice alternative to stain ribbon while matte silk ribbon adds a luxurious touch. Raffia and string are a nice addition to a neutral design.

You can add further embellishment with glass pearls and elegant crystals. Also look out for vintage style brass charms like birds and hearts which look very pretty dangling from ribbon on your wedding favors . Large faux flower heads sitting on top of boxes look very pretty or you could use fresh flowers like rose buds if your budget will stretch.

Your options for vintage style packaging for your favors include plain boxes, silk bags and small metal tins. Some packaging companies also make novelty boxes like bird boxes, watering cans and mini baskets. You could also search online for bag and box templates so you can create your own packaging.
