For many couples getting married has been a work in progress for months and in some cases even years.  Great care has been taken to pick just the right location, all the right flowers, and absolutely the perfect dress.  Every detail has been planned right down to the table clothes on the tables and as every last detail is being accounted for, only one question remains - what favors will you be using at your wedding?

In the last few years, favors have transitioned from Tulle  and Personalized Ribbon to dramatic displays incorporated into the dιcor.  Simple and elegant are in fashion with emphasis being placed on unique and beautiful.  You absolutely do not have to spend a fortune to add the special touch of favors to your event.  Beautiful favors are about presentation.  Take Fortune Cookies for example.  These simple treats make fabulous favors.  Plain or dipped in chocolate, placed in Boxes or served on a silver tray, personalized with a special message and this simple idea is transformed into a decadent, inexpensive, and delicious favor.   

Chocolate (such as Mini Hershey's Chocolate Bars) is another fantastic favor.  Molded chocolate is a wonderful accent that breathes new life into the outdated truffle in a box favor.   There are literally over a thousand different molded chocolate choices.  Products like Candy Wedding Conversation Hearts - White, champagne bottles and chocolate stationary compliment any theme.  Chocolate is always in style and can provide dramatic finishing touches to any event.  Best of all, chocolate comes in a variety of different price ranges and can be completely customized.   Tulle  and Personalized Ribbon are also an old and tired way of presenting candy.   Instead try beautiful and elegant imported boxes.  They come in a variety of elegant papers and can transform an ordinary piece of candy into an extraordinary favor.  It is simple, elegant and it is all about presentation.  Any product regardless of cost can be made to look fantastic.  It is all in how it is presented!

Keepsakes have also become very popular.  The thought of spending money and having the favor disappear before a guest goes home leaves the point of favors in question.  For some brides, the memory of the event should be reflected in the favor.   For keepsake favors, try candies.  Everyone appreciates them, they come in a variety of colors, styles and scents.  They make wonderful favors and can easily be incorporated into any wedding theme. With choices ranging from joined wick mini tapers  & ribbon tapers to stunning silk flower floating votives, candles as favor are a great choice.

Favors do not have to be expensive, time consuming, or made out of tulle to beautifully accent your event.  In fact, quite the opposite is true.  Today thanking guests can be one of the simplest details in wedding planning.  Favors should reflect ones own personal tastes and should compliment all the other elements of the wedding.   If life is too busy for favor making or the thought of making favors is just unbearable, look for pre-made favors.  Buying favors is easy, convenient, and affordable.  For brides with more time or more help, do it yourself kits are a great way to save money and have great favors all at the same time.  So what favors will you be using at your wedding?
