When I got married a few years ago, there were aspects of the wedding which I found tedious and others which I found to be a lot of fun. I enjoyed choosing my wedding dress, the cake and sampling the reception food. I also had a lot of fun choosing among several possible wedding favors. Wedding favors are mementos which you give to your guests to thank them for coming. It is also a way for them to bring a piece to remember your wedding day.
The new trend in wedding favors is to have them personalized. Wedding favors should reflect your tastes. If you are planning a casual and non-traditional outdoor wedding then your wedding favors should be fun and unconventional as well. You can for instance give your guests flip flops with a personalized thank you card attached if you are having a beach wedding. If you have a sweet tooth and you know most of your family and friends love food and rich desserts you can give cup cakes or mini fondant cakes as wedding favors. For those who want an elegant and classic wedding, there are numerous elegant yet affordable wedding favors in sterling silver and other precious materials to choose from.
