While giving wedding favors to one’s guests as a “Thank you” gift is not a requirement per se’, it has come to be expected as part of the reception. Couples usually choose some small, inexpensive gift items to match the dcor of the wedding and make good keepsakes to remind the guests of the event and the happiness shared with the couple. It is customary to have at least one of the wedding favors given be personalized with the names of the bride and groom along with the wedding date.
Giving wedding favors may be expected, but some couples choose to throw their guests a curve ball by doing something unexpected. Many couples like to give their guests items that they would never have thought of as wedding favors. These unique wedding favors could be almost anything. A set of salt and paper shakers in the shape of a pair of apples with a caption on the box that says, “Apple of my Eye”, or a wine set that contains a bottle stopper and a corkscrew mounted on a card so that one is the bride and the other the groom are two examples of unique wedding favors.
Unique wedding favors make perfect keepsake items to remind the guests of your wedding in particular because they are so different from the items given out at almost every wedding one attends in a lifetime. Unlike the usual run of wedding favors, unique wedding favors form a one of a kind link in the minds of the people who receive them without them having to sort through the memories of other weddings attended to determine the origin of this item.
After all, this is the reason wedding favors are given out in the first place. The intent is to say “Thank you” to the guests in a manner more meaningful than simply sending out “Thank you” cards would do, give the guests an item they will enjoy receiving, and remind the guests of this particular occasion whenever they are looked at or used. Personalized wedding favors are great for this, but the most commonly personalized wedding favor is a nice pen with the names of the bride and groom on it along with the wedding date.
Unique wedding favors may or may not be personalized. They will, however, form a definitive link in the minds of the guests receiving them because they are so unexpected. To make this link stronger, the couple could have the unique wedding favor personalized. This can be done in different manners as well. The couple could have their initials put on the items or even have them personalized with the names or initials of the recipients.
No matter how one goes about giving out wedding favors to thank the guests for attending, giving unique wedding favors deserves some consideration. These items can add so much to the party simply by virtue of the fact that they are different and come as a surprise to the guests.
