The Beauty of Unique and Personalized Wedding Favors

Homemade wedding favors aren’t the only way to get the attention of your guests, but it sure is a good start! While it’s true that unique and personalized wedding favors are more popular than ever nowadays, there is no one way to go about getting your wedding favors ready.

Whether they’re purchased or made, there is a huge range of options available to those serious about creating or purchasing unique, personalized wedding favors. Fine silver or paper mache, the important part isn’t what the favors actually are, it’s the meaning behind them.

Inscribing

A perfect way to let someone know that their gift is especially for them, is to inscribe their name onto it. Consider having a yearly calendar printed for each guest featuring pictures of the happy couple on each month. A small inscription along the lines of “Made especially for…..” tops off the perfect unique, personalized wedding favors. You can use different themes and pictures for some of them to help create a more personalized gift.

You can also purchase vases and have them inscribed at the bottom with the guests’ names. In order to make sure the favor is unique, consider decorating the vases yourself with permanent paint or other stylish methods such as covering the vases with leaves or flowers.

Home Made Picture Books

A fabulous way to create unique and personalized weddings favors for a wedding whose guests are all close friends and family members. These wedding favors need to be planned months in advance, but it is well worth it.

Carry a camera with you every time a local park or other area of interest is being visited by you, and every time you get together with the friends and family members that will attend your wedding reception.

Take as many pictures as possible when it’s convenient and you’d be surprised at how easy it is to put together small photo albums of the lives of your friends and family in the past year. Each album will have to personally be put together, because each gift has to be personalized in order to be special and meaningful to the recipient of the gift.

Each photo album needs no more than half a dozen pictures, but the pictures should be geared to each individual recipient. For example, the groom’s family would love pictures of each other in their albums but probably wouldn’t find much sentiment in a picture of the bride’s childhood friend. In the end, if done with love, these albums make top notch personalized and unique wedding favors that will never be forgotten.
