| | | It's a great idea to personalize your favors with your names, date, and perhaps a little poem or thank you note. | | | When selecting favors for your wedding, use your imagination. If you are having a theme wedding, find favors that go with the theme. For instance: if you are going to Hawaii for your honeymoon, give out leis. Be creative! The choice is yours. | | | Thanks to Michelle, Jill & Jennifer for sending us some of the ideas above! | | |

Wedding favors are a fun way to say "Thank you for sharing our special day with us". Below is a list of some new trendsetting ideas for favors. If you have a great idea and would like to share it with us, send us an email to webmaster@maweddingguide.com. We'd love to hear your ideas! | | - Rather than a floral arrangement for the centerpiece, make up the floral decor using
small floral bouquets that every guest at the table can take home. Tie the bouquets with ribbons holding their place card.
- Fruit shaped candles with personalized tags are great for springtime and summer weddings.
- Fragranced soap in organza bags with place cards attached.
- On your tables, combine menu cards and place cards. For example, if placing individual menus on the guest tables, use as a place card as well by writing "A Menu for Sheila Johnson" in calligraphy, at the top of the card.
- Freeze-dried roses in small terracotta pots, attached with place cards. Great for showers or receptions.
- A silverplated fortune cookie where you can add your own personal message on the fortune.
- Sugar frosted cookies or sugar sculpted personalized lollipops. Decorate these with your new last initial and cut the cookies in shapes that coordinate to your theme.
- Embossed cookie coins, gold foil, choose your design or message for the wrapping.
- Chocolate bars with personalized wrappers - Enchantment has elegant and whimsical styles to choose from.
- Give your guests an extra treat at the end of the reception - present slices of cake in a personalized box, with your own special message inside.
- Place cards made of chocolate cookies - with elegant writing in icing, put your guests' initials.
- Mini cupcakes with buttercream flowers to match your colors. Place in small champagne glass made of plastic. Place the place card inside.
- Have the wait staff hand out ice cold hand towels dipped in fragrant lavender oil with ice tongs before the meal. The guest can keep these towels - have them embroidered with an initial or message. This is a big statement for a low cost.
- At the ceremony, give out mini corsages of fresh flowers tied with ribbon. Have the clergy describe the flowers as a symbol of your love and wedding promise.
- Make a small donation to your favorite charity in the name of each guest. Give them an elegant note to read at the reception, explaining your gift.
- Give a book of love - choose a small miniature book filled with love sonnets or poems and personally sign them from the bride and groom.
