Wedding Favors & Wedding Planning

Weddings during the festive season make for extra special affairs, perhaps because the time of year is so strongly associated with family and reunions. So if you are planning a festive wedding then here are some ideas for festive wedding favors to delight your guests.

• Bottles of mulled wine or sachets of mulled wine spice with a recipe make for favors with a scent that is so evocative of the season. These can be even more special if you serve your guests a glass of mulled wine as a welcome drink at the reception.

• Christmas is a time when we like to indulge ourselves with an assortment of foods and confectionary. Give your guests favors consisting of festive candies such as candy canes, marzipan fruits, nuts and liquor chocolates.

• Treat your guests to some mince pies, gingerbread cookies or cinnamon cookies. You can have them iced in a festive theme as well.

• How about jars of preserves of condiments typically associated with the season. Try cranberry sauce, spiced apple sauce or preserves such as marmalade.

• Give your guests jars of homemade mincemeat as wedding favors complete with a recipe for the ultimate mince pies!

• If homemade mincemeat is not your thing then include some pastry cutters with the recipe.

• Look out for scented candles which have festive scents such as mulled wine, cinnamon and apple or pine trees.

• Christmas decorations have to be the ultimate festive wedding favor and possibly the first you thought of! Look out for personalized baubles or hanging photograph frames shaped like snowflakes.

• Check out your local Christmas shop for some unique glass baubles. Buy lots of different designs and give them out as wedding favors. The uniqueness in their design will make them treasured keepsakes for many years.

• Give your guests some festive tea light or candle holders. There will be a great range to choose from at this time of year, including stylish elegant designs and whimsical festive designs, so coordinating them to your wedding will be easy.

• The shops will also be full of stylish candles, including advent candles and carved or molded designs. Many people choose to never lit these instead using them as part of their Christmas displays every year, so they make ideal keepsakes and are perfect as wedding favors.

• Finally why not make your own CD’s of festive music. You could coordinate the songs to the style of your wedding, for instance a formal, traditional wedding could have traditional choir songs and festive hymns, whilst an informal wedding could have popular Christmas songs from the charts, such as Frosty the Snowman and Santa Claus is Coming to Town!
