Spring Wedding Favors

by Wedding Favors Today on February 5, 2010

When it comes to preparing for a wedding, there is nothing more difficult than deciding how you can show your appreciation to the guests who will share that very important day with you.

It is customary to give gifts to wedding guests, and these days, it is advisable to go for practical items.  In choosing wedding favors, you have to consider the main theme of the event.

A Spring Wedding would certainly demand spring wedding favors and if you need ideas for gift items, here are some of the best choices for this season:

  • Flower topped Pens- These are colorful and practical since they can be used daily at the office or even at home right next to the fridge where the grocery list is.
  • Spring Leaf Coasters- These items will certainly be useful in every household.  They are whimsical but they can be utilized all year round.
  • Save the Date Magnets- Instead of using special paper for the save the date card, you can instead send out save the date magnets.  They are much more personalized plus you can be sure that they will not forget to save the date because the reminder is on their fridge all the time.
  • Luxurious Silk Fans- Spring is definitely a warmer season which makes it perfect for giving away silk fans that your guests can use long after the wedding is done.
  • Personalized Stem Less Wine Glasses- These are really thoughtful gifts for guests as they can use it at home at any time.
  • Choice Crystal Flower Pot- A lot of people like to collect glass figurines and for those who have not yet started, this would be a great first piece.
  • Miniature Flip Flops Photo Frames with Flower Accents- Going for a cute set of spring wedding favors?   This is the way to go.  These mini flip flops photo frames would be the hit of the event as they are useful and very whimsical.
  • Monogrammed Flip Flops- Spring is the time for long walks in the park and walking means wearing flip flops for excellent comfort. 
  • Elegant Gel Candles- No one turns down a nice aromatic candle which is can also double as a living room or bedroom ornament.
  • Floral Scented Candles with Ceramic Candle Holders- These would make for great decor in the living room or the foyer.  Boring end tables will also benefit from these items. 

Choosing the Best Spring Wedding Favors

Although there is really no strict set of rules when it comes to which type of wedding favors soon to be married couples should get, there are certain points that you might want to consider such as practicality not just on your part but also on the part of your guests.

If you mean for the gifts to show your gratitude for their attendance and best wishes, the item or items should at least be usable either for decorative or practical purposes. Some couples choose to have more than one set of favors for their guests, something that you should consider especially if you are going for the smaller items.
