Unique Wedding Party Favors for a Memorable Celebration

Monday, October 6th, 2008

Wedding guests and the wedding party are obviously an important part of any wedding celebration, which has as its goal bringing a community of family an friends together to honor a couple’s love. That’s why it’s important to honor guests with favors. Going along the traditional line is appealing for the sake of ease, but many of the most common wedding party favors will be entirely forgettable. To stand apart from the crowd, unique wedding favors are truly essential, and can be a great way to express your personality as a couple.

Perhaps you feel that wedding favors do not deserve as much attention as other details of your celebration. This is simply not true. The wedding guests and especially the wedding party form the heart of the community with whom you have decided to share your love. As such, a token of appreciation is a wonderful way to honor these friends and family gathered for your special occasion. Wedding favors by their nature must be simple, as they have to be both inexpensive and generic enough to please a wide variety of guests. Still, it is possible to find unique wedding favors that really make an impact.

The Most Romantic Gift Idea

Sunday, October 5th, 2008

Romantic gifts are hard to come by. Giving a dozen roses a dozen different times simply gets old and un-original.

When was the last time you heard that special song that reminded you of that first kiss or your first love? Giving someone a CD of his or her favorite romantic music is one way to go. Music engages the emotions like no other stimulus, which is why it’s so necessary for setting a romantic mood.

But let’s take this whole concept to another level. Let’s say you got stuck for a few hours in an elevator with one of the greatest songwriters of all time, Lionel Richie. The next day is you and your girl’s anniversary and you don’t have a gift yet. So to kill time, Lionel says, “Let’s write a song for her!”

He says, “Well, hey, I wanted to show you my grand piano anyways. Let’s go!”

And so the song begins with, “We began as a simple melody, through joy and through pain we’ve grown into an endless symphony…” All of a sudden, you feel like you’re in another world, as a colorful vision hits you. You’re realizing that this person you love is the one you want to spend your whole life with.

Not everyone agrees on the necessity of bridal shower favors. Some believe that since the guests are there to give gifts to the bride, wedding shower favors are not necessary. Others prefer to give out favors as a token of friendship and appreciation. The custom may vary from place to place, but if you’re not sure about whether wedding shower favors are needed, it may be best to choose some simple favors just to be safe.

Bridal showers or wedding showers are traditionally arranged by the maid-of-honor and are focused on the bride with a group of (female) friends assembled to give gifts and celebrate an upcoming wedding.
