The most unique favors are items that offer guests a glimpse into your personality, interests, tastes and favorites. One of the most interesting facets of a wedding is that guests can learn even more about you and your new spouse by looking at the decorations, the cake, your outfits, your theme and your color scheme.
The wedding reception party favor of your choice definitely plays into the finishing touches of your overall display. Your favors should complement the design, colors and concept you've already built upon with every other detail. The best favor ideas are items that can be reused or disposed of immediately, rather than little trinkets that will go to a garage sale later on.
Couples are finding new ways to put their own twist on the traditional chocolate wedding favor. Even though Godiva's Grace Yu says "Heart-shaped chocolates are the most popular," using creative presentation can re-invent this old favorite.
For instance, one couple filled gigantic white-chocolate hearts with the San Francisco couple's names written in dark chocolate. When the hearts were broken open, several chocolate truffles were found inside, much to the delight of the guests.
Another couple wrapped dark chocolates in gold foil and wrote place holder cards on them in calligraphy. There are also a number of party favor boxes to house your unique favors.
There are many ways to present your unique favors. You can choose an inexpensive item and dress it up with lavish trim. For instance, you can buy decorative party favor boxes that match your theme for under $1. Or you may use a plain box and slap on a personalized sticker to add personality.
Typing picot-edged ribbon with mini wedding bells adds a finished look. Lining a box with colored tissue paper and securing the top with a charm leaves a lasting impression. Mini Chinese takeout boxes are gaining a lot of popularity, especially with Asian-themed weddings.
With proper presentation, even the smallest gesture can be breathtaking and clever.
