One great idea for an eco friendly wedding give away is a packet of seeds. You can place the seeds of different herbs or flowers inside a small recycled brown paper bag. Glue a piece of paper at the front with an eco friendly message written on it. Attach a flower or a leaf to seal the packet. Your guest can now start his or her own garden of flowers or herbs.

Another unique and green wedding favour is a set of salad wooden server made of bamboo. Place them inside a wooden case and tie a string of raffia to seal the casing. This is not only environmentally friendly but also very useful and practical.

For people who love anything related to Zen, they will also love your place card holder giveaway made of natural rocks. These rocks have been smoothed out and a thin line has been carved on one side where you can insert place cards. You can have the details of your wedding engraved on one side of the stone.

Scented candles are also great eco friendly wedding favors. Use a bamboo or rattan candle holder and tie dried grass around the candle to achieve that natural look. Place them inside a small recycled cardboard bag and attach a tag with your wedding’s details on it.

Another eco friendly favour for your wedding is buri fan. Nothing can be simpler than this. Just buy several buri fans, tie a ribbon on the handle and attach a card or tag where you can write your message.

Opting for themed wedding favors has its advantages. First, by doing so you have considerably narrowed down the number of tokens you can choose from – a good thing, since you cannot be expected to spend days just thinking about what to hand out to guests. Second, having the tokens follow your wedding theme makes for a consistent event, so you don’t have to worry about them being out of place. Third, there are a lot of related online sites that classify wedding favors according to theme, so going for themed tokens will make it very easy for you to make a decision with regard to the memento’s details.

Themed wedding favors may be items that are unique to the theme, or are popular tokens with theme-fitting details. A good example of the former is wedding favors in the shape of autumn leaves,
which are perfect for a fall-themed wedding. Another would be snow globes, if your wedding has a “winter wonderland” concept. As for the latter, the usual tokens – such as soap, bottle stoppers, bottled potpourri, favor boxes, and edibles (like cookies, cupcakes, and candies) – can be customized to match your wedding theme. For example: if, as earlier mentioned, you are planning a wedding with autumn as the theme, the usual soap-made favor can be shaped into autumn leaves (and colored accordingly) to match the event’s main concept. You can also hand-out bottles of potpourri in purely fall-associated colors like deep reds and browns. If a winter theme is more to your liking, you can go for vanilla cupcakes with white frosting, or white chocolate truffles.                                                                                                                                       Maple Syrup Favors

With pink weddings gaining so much popularity, there is also a demand to coordinate this color as an extension of the personalities of the bride and groom. Different tones of pink speak on totally different ranges and when it is combined with different colors that form popular combinations for pink weddings, you have each combination saying something entirely different. For example, a hot pink and rhinestone wedding would say Material Girl whereas pink, teamed with pink and white, make a statement that is demure. So, we will be looking at the different combinations with pink and decide on the wedding favors that go with the right shade of pink.

Pink and Black

The boldest of the pack. When you think of this combination, you think of deco dots on a light pink background or even pinstripes, if you intend a 40′s retro wedding theme. The cutest black and pink wedding favors are those little boxes that would be perfect to hold little gifts (pink and black licorice candy?) in pink and tied up with a glossy black ribbon with black toile toppers.

Pink and Green

If you want a lovely Victorian floral wedding or a spring time preppy event, this is the best. Consider spring wedding favors that are made of pink flowers and pale green stems and tied up in soft transparent tissue. Beeswax candles shaped like candles in this blend or even little seed packets with pink bows work well.

Pink and Chocolate Brown

This is the wedding palette that is hip today and screams sass. Consider giving your guests yummy personalized chocolates topped with pink cream or with pink filling and lettering. Also a good choice is to have pink roses half dipped in chocolate and packaged into transparent wraps. Itty-bitty handbags in pink and brown stripes that hold personalized cards for your guests and stationery that say shabby chic will really perk up your wedding.

If you want to go all out pink, you have many choices open to you. Pink gel candles look really sweet and you can package everything with pink satin bows, garnish with pink roses and peonies and also have pink heart shaped candies and pink makeup kits for your bridesmaids too. You can easily adapt this for pink and white weddings or even balance out a shimmering light pink with a glint of metallic silver. Pink bath salts in white organza bags and even little pink rose candy or lollipops in bright pink with silver sprinkles will be perfect.

Finally, many online wedding vendors offer ‘Personality’ wedding favor packaging. So, regardless of what type favors you select, you have many pink packaging combinations to choose from – at no additional cost! So, get whimsy and girly with your pink wedding favors. You will be glad you did!

On a realistic note, it is true that sometimes creating invitations and preparing giveaways leads to unnecessary waste/trash. Unless you are the bride and the groom or the parents, there would really be no reason to stash away an invitation for keepsakes.

When it comes to giveaways, people rarely find a use for giveaways such as figurines or fancy boxes. Wouldn’t it be great if you could give out invitations and giveaways that not only serve a purpose but are environmentally friendly as well? Thankfully, there is now an array of choices for green wedding favors and invitations – wedding items that are truly environmentally friendly and useful to the recipients as well.

When creating your invitations, there are actually many “green” options for paper and envelopes from the many wedding stores. For the couple who’s more environmentally conscious, using handmade, recycled paper is a good option. Not only does it provide a creative, distinguished, natural feel to your invites, it also does a ton of good for the environment by having utilized recycled paper products for materials.

There are also all natural options for your wedding envelopes. There are sinamay envelopes, or buri envelopes to complement your green wedding theme. If you want to carry the all natural feel to you table, there are place cards that are plantable seed or made from recycled paper, and all natural place card holders – made of shells, bamboo, wood, so there’s no use of synthetics whatsoever.

There are a lot of wedding stores out there today that focus primarily on green wedding favors and if you think that your choices are limited in a place like this, then you’ll be pleasantly surprised. There are many different creative items that can be found in these wedding stores.

One of the most creative and environmentally friendly things is the eco-friendly confetti. This confetti is biodegradable and makes no mess because it dissolves with water, leaving no paper confetti to sweep; this makes cleaning up after the event a lot easier. Another popular giveaway is the plantable seed cards. These cards have seed embedded in the paper and by planting the invitation itself, you’ll be growing your very own garden. What a creative way to promote their guests’ green thumbs! If you’re looking to promote a better garden, or inject a touch of green into your guests’ lives, there are a lot of options for mini plants, such as palms, bamboo, and roses.

If you are a pro-earth couple, then going for green eco friendly  wedding favors and invitations might just be the ticket to make your wedding a meaningful and memorable day for the two of you. Scout your options and spread your eco-friendly love!

Just like any other weddings in other months or seasons, you still need to take care of the practical aspects of weddings such as planning the menu, venue, invitations, and favors. If you need help in choosing cool Christmas wedding favors, read the next few paragraphs.

One great Christmas wedding favour that your guests and their families will enjoy is a box of Christmas cookies. The cookies should be cut in the different shapes of Christmas symbols such as reindeers, Christmas trees, candy canes, Santa Claus, bells, Christmas stockings, and so on. Your guests, especially their children, will surely love this favour.

You can also choose Christmas tree ornaments such as glass stars or balls that your guests can hang on their Christmas tree. Have your wedding details printed on the ornaments’ surface and your guests will remember your wedding every time they decorate their Christmas tree with your wedding glass ornament favour.

Place cards in different Christmas designs are also great souvenirs or favors. Choose place cards shaped like snowflakes, Christmas trees, reindeers, or Santa Claus. Choose the one that is appropriate for your wedding’s mood.

People love to drink steaming hot chocolates in cold winter days and nights. Giving away personalized hot chocolate mixes in small bags will surely make your guests delighted. This will keep them warm for the rest of winter season.

There are basic factors you should consider when searching for the perfect token for your wedding. In a nutshell these are: budget, utility, and design. That budget should be taken into account before anything else is, of course, commonsensical. On a related note, you should first be aware of the number of people coming to your wedding. The figure need not be exact, but the closer you are to the actual number, the better. This will allow you to determine how much you have to allot for your wedding favors.

Another element to consider when looking for your wedding token should be utility. Basically this means that the item should be something that can and will be used by the people you’ll be giving them to. Ornamental pieces may be visually appealing, but chances are they will end up in the trash bin, or else inside a dusty box in the attic. If you have no idea where to start looking, you can search online for popular wedding favors: you’ll be sure to find a piece that is useful and at the same time nice to look at. You can also opt for edible tokens; although they cannot be kept, at least you can be certain that they will not go to waste (in most cases that is).

The last – but not the least bit important – consideration when selecting a wedding token is the design. This is where you and your partner can unleash your creativity. If you are finding it difficult to come up with a pattern that is completely your own, feel free to adopt and combine fantastic ideas used on popular wedding favors. Just remember: the token is meant to serve as a remembrance of your wedding, so it should be personalized enough to reflect your personality, as well as your partner’s.

If you want to give elegant wedding favors for your guests, you can choose heart shaped glass coasters with the details for your wedding written on them. Or you can choose words related to weddings such as love, bliss, forever, honor, hope, and joy and choose cursive fonts. You can tie a white silk ribbon around the heart coaster or you can attach a small flower on one side to make it more attractive and elegant.
 
Another great wedding favour that will wow your guests is a place card holder in the shape of butterflies. Choose butterflies that are made from pastel colored beads for the wings and body. Choose something with a glass stand and base for a more sophisticated look.

Wineglasses are also common wedding favors. Add a touch of elegance to this traditional wedding favour by choosing wineglasses with translucent, vellum shades with clear cherry blossom or rose designs on them. It looks very elegant and romantic, perfect for your dream wedding.

If you are planning to have an elegant beach wedding, you can give shell-shaped, fresh-scented soaps toy your guests as your wedding favour. The soaps should be placed inside a box with shredded raffia. Tie a blue ribbon around the box to achieve the desired elegant look.

If you think salt and pepper shakers are not romantic, you are wrong. Impress your guests with heart-shaped elegant salt and pepper shakers made of chrome. Place these inside an elegant box with floral decorations and tie a lace or organza ribbon around the box. Add a ‘thank you’ tag and your guests will now look at salt and pepper shakers in a whole new light.

Homemade wedding favors are the best way to give a truly personal gift. Let everyone know that you made the wedding favors and your guests are likely to be even more grateful than if you’d bought something readymade.

Homemade Soap: This is a fantastic affordable wedding favor idea that you can make yourself to save money. You can use a soap making kit to make things easier, and use interesting molds to create a completely unique favor.

CDs: Giving out CDs as wedding favors isn’t right for everyone, but if you have a strong connection to music then this could be the perfect gift. Burn CDs for each of your guests and attach some personalized labels.

Homemade Cakes or Cookies: Another great idea is to put together a large batch of homemade cakes or cookies. Guests can pick and choose which they want and take them home with them for a unique, and tasty, memento of the day.

Seed Packet: Many couples opt to give out seeds as their wedding favors, as a great way to symbolize new life and do a little good for the world on the big day. You can tie the seeds into fabric with a ribbon, use small glass jars or small envelopes for the seeds.

Choosing affordable wedding favors doesn’t necessarily mean cutting any corners. If anything, going the homemade route means creating a gift that’ll be even more special for your guests!

Favors are usually sold in quantities.  In most cases, the more you buy, the less your cost per favor.  So if you want to save money, it’s best to buy one kind of favor for all of your guests.  Here are some ideas for lovely yet inexpensive wedding favors:

* Keychains – These make wonderful wedding favors.  They’re inexpensive, they can be found in an infinite number of colors and themes, and everyone uses them.  Whether your wedding theme is whimsical or ultra-romantic, you can find a keychain favor that fits perfectly with it.

* Bookmarks – Those little gold and silver bookmarks that clip onto the top of a page make elegant favors.  They look expensive, but they are actually very reasonably priced.  If you are the crafty type, you could also make your own custom bookmarks.  All you’ll need is some card stock paper, embellishments, a laminator, and your creativity to make a one-of-a-kind bookmark favor.

* Picture frames – Wallet-sized picture frames are a great wedding favor choice.  Guests can use them to display your wedding photo or one of their own pictures.  You can find very nice, festive frame favors at low prices online and in stores.

* Candles and candleholders – Candles make practical yet romantic wedding favors.  You can often find candles with their own holders at reasonable prices, or you could buy the candles and holders separately.

* Candy – Filling small tins, pails, or boxes with festive candy makes a thoughtful and inexpensive gift for your guests.  Nuts, candy kisses, or mints are some of the things you could fill them with.  Adding some pretty ribbon or tulle will make these favors extra special.

* Placecards or placecard holders that double as favors – It doesn’t get much more economical than finding a dual purpose for your favors.  There are placecards and placecard holders available that double as picture frames, for example.  These provide a clever way to save money.  You could also use postcards related to your wedding theme as placecards, writing your guests’ names on the back of them.

* Coaster sets – You can find coaster sets in a variety of themes online or at a wedding supply store.  These are very useful for your guests, and they are often inexpensive.

Giving your guests wedding favors is thoughtful, and it doesn’t have to be expensive.  In addition to these ideas, there are lots of other favors that you could make yourself.  Whether you choose to make your own favors or buy them in bulk, they will serve as a precious token of your gratitude.
