Wedding favors are small, inexpensive gifts or
souvenirs that you present to your guests as a way of saying “thank-you
for attending our wedding celebration”. It has become customary
to give something in return to your guests that they can keep as
a memory of your special day.
Favors don’t have to be large or expensive.
Some are elegant, some are practical and some are just plain fun.
Choose a favor that reflects your wedding theme in some way.
Once the favors are completed, attach personalized favor tags that
include your names and the wedding date printed on them. You can
use paper tags or monogrammed ribbons that you either create yourself
or purchase from a vendor. Some couples also add a small saying
to their tags as well.
Many couples choose February 14th as their wedding
day, incorporating the love and romance associated with this special
holiday. Here are 8 favor ideas that you could use for your own
Valentine's Day wedding.
Jordan Almonds.
Place Jordan Almonds in heart shaped boxes or mini-gift bags. Decorate
bags or boxes with red heart stickers.
Hugs and Kisses. Place
2 Hershey Kisses and 2 Hershey Hugs chocolates in tulle. Sprinkle
some heart shaped confetti inside. Gather top and tie off with a
red curly ribbon and tag: “Hugs and Kisses, from the Mr. and
Mrs.”
Kisses (or Hugs)
on a Spoon. Place a Hershey Kiss or Hugs chocolate
on white plastic spoon. Wrap the end of the spoon in tulle and secure
with ribbon. Add a tag: “A spoonful of kisses (or hugs) from
the Mr. and Mrs.”
Chocolate-Dipped
Sugar Cookies. Bake heart shaped sugar cookies.
Dip one half of each cookie in melted chocolate. Write your names
and wedding date with red or white icing on top. Wrap in clear cellophane.
Styrofoam Hearts.
Wrap 6” Styrofoam hearts with red ribbon. Use a contrasting
ribbon for a bow. Secure bow to one side. Add some sprigs of dried
flowers, streaming ribbon and string craft beads. Add a small loop
on back for hanging.
Champagne Glasses
and Cinnamon Hearts. Buy small plastic champagne
glasses and fill with red cinnamon hearts. Wrap top of glass in
tulle, secure with red ribbon around stem.
Long-Stemmed Red Silk Rose.
Give each guest a long-stemmed red silk rose. Very elegant.

present a copy to your guests.

Have the flowers, decorations, and brides maides dresses in red. Have a heart shaped tiered wedding cake. Have white table cloths with red napkins. Have heart shaped confetti on the tables. Have heart shaped floating candles in the tables. Have your boquet in red and white with heart shaped streamers hanging down. Have hearts hanging down instead of bells.
