Unique Ideas for Memorable Wedding Party Favors

Providing unique wedding party favors for your guests is a wonderful way of thanking them for attending your wedding. Every guest will appreciate discovering a small token of your thanks on their table when they sit down to enjoy their meal after the ceremony itself, and there are plenty of ideas for unique wedding favors that will really fit the bill.

For example you could select a comic and entertaining theme that would suit the occasion and bring smiles to everyone’s faces as well. Matching bride and groom magnets with bendable legs will surely keep your guests - especially the children - entertained in between courses!

Chocolate and other candy items always go down well, but you don’t have to settle for standard items that go in an organza bag. You could buy small personalized bars of chocolate for everyone in attendance, which have the names of the bride and groom and the date of the wedding on the wrapper. People can then enjoy a taste of chocolate after dinner and keep the wrapper to put in a memory box or photo album of the wedding day itself.

If you like the idea of treating your guests to a taste of candy but you want to select something a little more unusual, why not go for miniature gumball machines? These would certainly be loved by the kids – but the vast majority of the adults would be delighted to receive them as well!

For something a little more stylish, candles are ideal for both male and female guests. You can also ensure that you buy different designs for the men and the women; a good example is candles for the ladies that are in tins decorated with a picture of a gown, and one for the gents that features a smart tuxedo.

Of course your choice will depend a lot on your budget. You should get an idea of how much you can afford to spend on each wedding party favor and then look for ideas that fit into your budget.

You also need to think about whether you want to put your favors in favor boxes, or whether you want to put them straight on the table. If you elect not to use favor boxes you can always include a simple tag attached to each favor, with the names of the bride and groom on it.

Think about the time of year as well when you are looking for unusual wedding favors. If you have arranged a themed wedding – Hawaiian style for example – then you could select wedding favors which fit with that theme. Hawaiian shirts which act as place card holders can be taken away by the guests afterwards as a memento of a wonderful wedding day celebration.

The key to choosing unusual wedding favors is to do your research before you buy. Do you want separate gifts for the men, women and children? Or simply something fun for everyone? Whatever you choose you will find plenty of unusual favor ideas once you start thinking along the right lines.
