subject: How To Create Stunning Wedding Favours And Table Decor [print this page] What are wedding favours and when does one give these away? They are tokens or small gifts that you give to your guests to show that you appreciate their attendance of your wedding ceremony or reception. It is usually something small to signify sincere heartfelt thanks. However, if effectively made and wonderfully designed, it can serve as a beautiful reminder of that special bond that you now share with that special someone. And since you gave the memento to crowds of people, it would not be unreasonable to think that they are celebrating and commemorating the wedding day so long as they have the token in their homes.
A wedding favour can be in the form of many things. It can be edible, it can be metallic, it can be wooden, and it can even be in the form of a simple greeting card. In this regard, the most economical and complementary wedding favours are those that can doubly serve as wedding decor. In a table with a seating capacity of twelve, you could leave beautifully done greeting cards that guests could take home with them. You could also opt for leaving wrapped tinted glasses by every seat so that every person seated already has one before the reception even ends. Using wedding table decorations as favours saves you the task of distribution.
Having random table dcor to serve as wedding favours will not be sufficient. You cannot just embroider inscriptions on napkins and expect people to take it home as mementos. For one thing, guests might actually soil these using it to eat their meals and the like. You should not also expect your guests to take home or even put dirty napkins in their purses. All you will hear are complaints and wedding woes. Table dcor as wedding favours obviously have to be well thought out, planned, and executed.
Consider the theme that you and your fiance have picked out for the wedding. What wedding table decorations best highlights that theme or at the very least, is capable of bringing out that theme. The theme choice would have probably narrowed down the list of choice dcor to serve as wedding favours. Next, you should now choose how to personally inscribe or personalize the chosen dcor to mark the beginning of a bond unending. Handkerchiefs could be elegantly embroidered, glasses printed or etched, and cards laminated and laid out before each dinner plate.
Generally, you should not have wedding favours for anything other than commemorative value. However, if the budget is really tight then you could opt for something easily reusable such as wine glasses or tumblers. Other inexpensive options include dinnerware such as spoons or forks, candles, tiny picture frames, fragrance bottles, and even small centerpieces. There are many wedding table decorations that are both functional and beautiful enough to serve as useful mementos. This idea may even have more merit; if these items are used every day then the memory of the wedding day is constantly brought alive as well. The possibilities are simply endless.
