Remember those little tulle sacks filled with candies at your sister's wedding? Those wedding favors are one of the most important parts of planning your big day. If it's easier for you, try and think of it not as "your" day, but make your guests feel special with favors showing your appreciation to them for coming to see you and the one you love wed.
Creativity is the key when it comes to new ideas, and of course it also depends on your overall theme and budget. There are lots of traditional and common favorites that could go with any theme, and most of them can be done on almost any budget. Like mentioned before you could certainly enlist your family and girlfriends to throw together some tulle sacks tied with ribbon filled with candies to set at each place setting.
Speaking of place settings you can also create your own place settings as well. You can choose a sit down dinner or a buffet style dinner, so this decision will change your table settings a little bit. With a sit down dinner, you may be more apt to assign each of your guests to a specific table, taking into consideration people's beliefs, and things they could have in common. In this situation you could take very inexpensive photo holders that have a base with a rod coming out where the top of it holds the picture, or in your case your custom place card. Taking time and putting a personal touch on your place cards will certainly help to make your guests feel like you care they are there without having to buy gifts for them.
Favors or gifts are not just for the guests of the wedding, it's important to remember your wedding party as well. Your bridesmaids, maid of honor, and groomsmen often will go through hell and back to make sure everything goes smoothly and as planned. Personalized gifts come in all different varieties and are a beautiful way to tell the friends who obviously love you very much thank you.
Groomsmen and the best man will appreciate a nice personalized watch if you have the cash for it, but if you can not splurge for that try a sturdy pocket knife, or even a gift card to their favorite restaurant or store. The bridesmaids and maid of honor are generally a little easier to shop for. Baskets with skin and hair products are always a safe bet, but of course a nice bracelet with their birthstone is also a fantastic thank you gift.
Favors and gifts are an important part of your planning process. They offer your guests and wedding party a nice thank you for putting up with you and your soon to-be- husband during the planning stages. Whether you decide to take the tasks on yourself, or pay someone else to do it it's definitely the thought that counts and it will make your day that much more special.
