Traditional Wedding Favors

Chances are, if you've been to any weddings, you've received traditional wedding favors. Some of these favors include shot glasses, chocolates, candles, ornaments, coasters, keychains, picture frames, magnets, etc. These favors are a simple way to thank your guests for sharing your special day with you.

However, after the costs of the wedding, the reception and the honeymoon have been tallied, it can be difficult to find extra funds for traditional wedding favors. Sometimes couples worry that if they don't give expensive wedding favors, their guests will feel cheated; but this simply isn't true. Wedding favors are like the cherry on the top of an ice cream sundae.

If you get one, great, but if not, you still like the sundae. People will still like you and enjoy your wedding even if you don't give them pricey favors at the reception.

Shot glass wedding favors are one of the more popular types of traditional favors. It is common for the happy couple to commemorate the special day with shot glasses that have their name and wedding date etched into the glass.

While shot glass wedding favors are a fun option, they can be rather costly depending on the number of guests. Instead of giving out wedding favor shot glasses, consider giving a bookmark with a photo of a shot glass, the date and the couple's name on the bookmark for more inexpensive wedding favors.

The bookmark wedding favors could also say something like, "Here's to the future". Your guests will love your creativity, and every time they read a book, they will be reminded of how fantastic your wedding was.

If shot glasses aren't your style, the bookmark could have a picture of the newlyweds and the date of the wedding. These inexpensive bookmark wedding favors have endless possibilities, and they can easily be tailored to your individual style and liking.

To make your guests feel really special, consider giving an elegant homemade "favor kit" - a bookmark that corresponds to the season of your wedding with a favor box that contains one or two chocolates.

Or you could give them personalized fortune cookies that have a special message from the bride and groom, as well as a bookmark.

Instead of more expensive traditional wedding favors, consider asking someone to make homemade cookies, and each guest could receive a cookie and a bookmark that says, "Made with love."

Depending on the overall cost, you could really surprise your guests and give them chocolate, a cookie and a personalized bookmark favor.

Wedding cupcake favors are also becoming a favorite for couples wanting to give enjoyable favors to their guests. And since edible wedding favors seem to be at the top of the list for the best favors to give, deliciously designed cupcakes are starting to show up at a lot of weddings today. Add a special touch by combining the wedding cupcakes with wedding cake favor bookmarks for a simple yet elegant and affordable favor package for your guests.

Remember, even though you may not be giving out traditional wedding favors, your guests don't ever have to know that you were trying to save money.

Bookmark wedding favors are a simple way to still be able to give your guests something to commemorate your special day without breaking the bank.

And they are so unique, that no one will realize that you were cutting costs by giving out less expensive wedding favors.

Just remember that whatever you decide, your guests will feel honored that you were thinking of them.
