Wedding Favor Ideas

Wondering what you should use for favors for your guests at your wedding? Choose something with a catchy phrase to go along with it!

Here are some ideas:

"Match Made in Heaven" - Use a personalized book of matches

"Meant to Bee" - A small jar of honey

"Picture Perfect" -

This one has a few options, simply frame a photo of the two of you, or use those super cute glass coasters with a place for a photo.

"Mint to Be" - Everyone loves mints!

"Sew in Love" - Give each guest a mini. sewing kit

"We Picked Each Other" -

Use a single cut flower, or something more creative like these flower wine corks.

"Hugs and Kisses From the Happy Couple" -

Set out some Hershey's Kisses, or these XO mini. soaps.

"Perfect Pair" - Salt and peper shakers

"Help Our Love Grow" - Give each guest a pack of flower seeds

So now that you've come up with what you want to use, where can you get such creative favors like these? Check out a few of my favorite sites to order your favors online:

Wedding Theme Inspiration - "Love Birds"

From time to time an idea for a wedding theme pops in my head, and I can't get it out. I'll share my latest one with you. The theme: "Love Birds!"

So where did I get my inspiration from? Target.

I registered at Target for my own wedding, and when I got the little register tickets in the mail to put inside of my shower invitations the inspiration hit me.

Once I saw those modern little love birds, I thought it would be a super cute theme for a wedding.

The overall look and feel of a "Love Birds" themed wedding would be light and springy. Think of the birds singing in early spring when buds are just starting to bloom on trees. The wedding's main color should be Robins Egg Blue with accents of green, soft white, and brown ~ very nature inspired. The theme would be carried out in every detail of the wedding including the invitations, programs, centerpieces, and favors.

For centerpieces I would use a small branch with a two little birds, and a few tealight candles would accompany the creation. Favors would be small nests with miniture "robin's egg" soaps nestled inside. A tag on the nest would say "From the Love Birds."

Here are a few images of inspiration:

Calling All Wedding Vendors - Bridal Trade Show!
