How many times have you attended a wedding and after receiving the wedding favours from the newly married couple just tossed them in a drawer or a closet? The bride and groom have usually spent a lot of time and effort choosing the favours and you often feel a bit guilty about not using it.

If you are looking for wedding favours that the guests are sure to use long after the reception is over, you need to use a bit of imagination and a little creativity. Take your time to do the research and find the ideal wedding favour that will impress even the choosiest of guests.

Picture Frames

A nice idea that is quickly becoming popular among today’s marrying couples is buying unique or handcrafted picture frames. You can have them personalized and put a picture of the two of you inside. The guests will have the option of keeping your picture or replacing it with one of their own. When you visit, you will be happy to see your wedding favour sitting on a mantle or in a group of family photos. You will be pleased to see your guests are getting some use out of your gift.

Remembering the Place

Whatever the region you come from, there is usually a signature item that is singular to your hometown or the place where you exchange your vows. If you are getting married at the beach you might choose a beach chair photo frame, a personalized beach ball or beach towel for each of the guests. Do some research on the city or state where you are to be married and choose a gift that is unique to the area. Out of town guests will especially appreciate these types of wedding favours.

Tie Your Favours to the Wedding Theme

Matching the favours to the theme of the wedding is also a good idea. If you are having a Chinese inspired wedding you might think of giving miniature Chinese boxes to all your guests. Those getting married in the spring might give a small potted plant that guests can plant in their garden to last a lifetime. The holidays will present you with a wonderful opportunity to choose a wedding favour that will be remembered for many years to come.

There is so much planning involved in a wedding and the favours you choose to present to your guests are an important aspect. Shop around, compare prices and look for unusual wedding favours that your guests will not only admire, but will get a lot of use out of as well.
