Time was when many wedding favors consist of miniature bottles of alcoholic spirit of some form or another, but in recent years these have been replaced with more contemporary advantages consisting of cookies, candles or even mini trees!
Alcoholic wedding favors are a nice idea for a winter wedding where bottles of whiskey or brandy make a nice winter warmer for your guests. Whilst bottles of lighter spirits are nice for weddings in the warmer months. Here are a few ideas for alcoholic wedding favors for you to consider:
Wine: Wine themed weddings are very popular or even if your wedding is taking place in a vineyard, then wine is an excellent choice for your favors. However, you will need a good sized budget to afford some decent wine, even if you are having a small, intimate wedding. Try to find half bottles from a merchant or wholesalers where you can negotiate a good price for bulk quantity.
Spirits: As mentioned above, miniature bottles of spirits where once common place at weddings and are perhaps now considered slightly retro! However, retro is in at the moment so get with the trend and give your guests mini bottles of whiskey, brandy or rum.
Cocktail Mixes: Favors stores offer a choice of cocktail mixes in saches which can be personalized. These are a great choice for beach or wine bar weddings or you could coordinate them with your signature cocktail which you will serve at the wedding.
Champagne: Now this is for those with very big budgets or for those with a minimal number of guests. Champagne is available in a variety of bottle sizes although for the purposes of wedding favors you will want to be looking a half bottles! Vintage champagne will cost the most whilst sparkling wines from the new world and Spanish Cava offer cheaper alternatives which do not compromise on taste!
Other Alcoholic Beverages: For a fall wedding give out bottles of spiced cider punch or for a festive wedding try bottles of Mulled wine. As an alternative to giving out actual alcohol, why not give out boozy recipes instead? How about punch, tipsy cake, tiramisu or brandy sauce?
Alcoholic favors are great for adult only weddings, but if children are present then do not forget to get different favors for them too! If you feel that mini bottles are too little on their own they why not add a nice glass as well. Other accompaniments to any alcoholic favors include bottle stoppers, bottle openers, corkscrews, coasters, pourers and cocktail shakers.
