Some people take all the fun out of weddings. They think of this event as just a ritual to get through with as much money intact as possible. So they opt for the easiest decorations, the cheapest food, and the least original wedding favors. This article is for those who think of a wedding in a different way. If you want your wedding day to be a real event, something that everyone who attends will truly remember and find special, then we encourage you to offer completely unique wedding favors. These wedding favors that have been provided with some forethought will cause your friends and family to look back on your special day with the same fondness that you do.

“Unique wedding favors?” What exactly makes these special gifts unique? And what gifts make for the best favors? First of all, a guest must find the wedding favors practical and memorable. But you need to go a step beyond that. You want unique wedding favors. This means you need to do something a bit out of step with what others have done. As an example, many of the people you know have probably offered cookies, candies and other edible treats for their wedding guests. But you, in the pursuit of uniqueness, might try something slightly different. Howe about offering candies in a special collectible box, with the couple’s name on it? Or maybe you can offer something such as heart-shaped pancake or cookie cutters, or even special packages of cookie dough (Yes, you can find them online). These kinds of unique wedding favors are sure to be remembered and cherished-and used!

So we’ll assume that you’ve decided you want to present totally unique wedding favors to your guests. But how do you decide what’s perfect for them and for your wedding? There are several good resources: The Internet is one. Perhaps look in the wedding section at the local library, or speak with a professional wedding planner. Even your friends and family can be good resources, as long as you remember that you don’t want to copy something that nine out of ten of them have tried. Yes, you can use an idea they suggest-just remember to put your own twist on it in order to ensure you have completely unique wedding favors.

And don’t be afraid to trust your own judgment. Pull out paper and pen and brainstorm. Think of what your theme is and jot down some ideas pertaining to that theme. Jot down common interests you and your partner have and jot down some ideas that might coordinate well with those interests. You should be able to find some wedding favors that will correspond with your common interests or with the wedding theme or with both.

And what of the cost? Truthfully, most wedding favors, whether the traditional, boring ones, or the unique wedding favors, will all run about the same amount of money. You should be able to get by with $3 to $5 per guest. Just remember as you’re searching, the goal is to be original. If you remain committed to this goal, you will ensure that everyone associated with the wedding will remember it fondly for the rest of your lives. And don’t worry so much about the cost. Most wedding favors, whether traditional or unique, won’t run more than $3 to $5 per guest. There really isn’t that much difference in cost between a boring gift and one that is completely original. So relax and do the wedding favors up right. You and your friends and family will remember this part of the wedding for the rest of your lives.
