Selecting Unique Wedding Favors for Your Wedding

Tired of the same old wedding favor options? Want to give your wedding guests favors that they have never received before, something completely unique to your special day? Below we offer suggestions for unique mementos for you to give your guests at your nuptials.
Trying to locate unique wedding favors that you haven’t already seen at 5 other wedding may not be as difficult as you think. In the "old days" it used to be that those hosting the wedding reception would spend a good amount of time searching for favors to give to guests at wholesale clubs and bulk goods locations, hoping to find something that was not already given away to others in the family at someone else's wedding. Not so today, there are so many options available.

Top Unique Wedding Favors - Edibles, Themes, Personalized
For those still looking for a few unique wedding favor ideas, keep these in mind.
Let them eat cake! (And, other yummy edible favors): Many of the very best types of wedding favors are those that your guests can munch on during the wedding reception. Not only will they appreciate the tastiness of these items, they are a great "distraction" while they wait for dinner to be served, or, for the bride and groom to arrive.

Parents with young children will also thank you. Some potential options include small chocolates from your favorite chocolatier, candy treats with your wedding date on them, custom candy favors half decorated to look like wedding dresses while the other half are decorated to look like tuxedos. Custom cookies and teas are also great options and can be customized with your names, initials, last name, wedding date…you name it.

Themes are fun!:
If you are having a themed wedding - you must have theme wedding favors. For example, perhaps your wedding venue is a Las Vegas casino. Give your guests personalized decks of cards with your engagement photo or special sentiment on them. If you want beach theme wedding favors, consider small "messages in bottles", with a special note to them inside.

Personalized favors, the ultimate in uniqueness:
Personalized gifts also work well. For these, you may want to consider fortune cookies or even beautiful Asian fans that are personalized with your wedding information on them. A new twist on this popular option: Personalize the wedding favors for each of your guests, rather than with your information or photos on them.

Think Outside of the Favor Box:
Virtually anything can become a wedding favor if you select the right option and make sure it is appropriate for your wedding guests. If you are still unsure about what your options are, one of the best ways to find unique wedding favors is to check out the web. Retailers are thinking outside of the box for you so that they can give you that inexpensive, but fabulous gifts to give to each of your guests on your wedding day. There are many unique, funny and even over the top wedding favors available to select from. Keep in mind; you are only limited by your creativity and your budget.
