Many people underestimate wedding favors and just how much work can go into them; as a consequence they are often left until the last minute to organize. As a rule of thumb when organizing events, keep things simple as they have a habit of becoming complicated without any human intervention. This is a part of the arrangements, like the guest list and seating arrangement that will often cause unnecessary stress when there doesn’t have to be any.
An easy wedding favor option is flowers which really don’t take much to arrange but guests can enjoy. Fortunately, as far as the bride and groom are concerned, apart from choosing which flowers to have, there is little for them to do.
Red roses always look attractive and of course they don’t have to be wrapped like many other flowers. Using a single rose per guest gives an appearance of style and placing them can be left to staff immediately prior to the wedding reception commencing so they look very fresh.
About 75 percent of people will use candy as it is an easy wedding favor that always pleases which can be simply presented in a box. I like the idea that a number of receptions have started to use where the costly centerpiece is done away with completely. This can be accomplished by using large bowls filled with different types of candy as the centerpieces on each table.
Supplying each wedding guest with a small tin or other presentation container so they can fill it with whatever candy they wish. All you have to do is let each guest have the option to take whatever candy they like and you won’t have anything more to do.
If you prefer not to give your guests more to eat then another option is a small picture frame and if you like, it can be used on the day as placeholders. Pictures frames are often used as wedding favors but people spend a great deal of time wrapping each one individually to create a beautiful presentation for the guests. Almost all receptions have place names at the tables for the guests so this is an ideal way to present the frame without the need to spend time and more money on wrapping paper which will only be discarded.
Another easy wedding favor option to end this article is to arrange for a professional photographer to attend the wedding reception and take a photo of every couple as they arrive looking their best. The photos can be printed out whilst the reception goes on and the guests will have a pleasant surprise at the end of the evening when they leave as their photo will be waiting for them. As most wedding photographs are in groups, a photograph with just one couple at a time showing them at their best would be a welcomed wedding favor. As a little extra you could ask the photographer if he could bring along a small projector and have a slide show during the reception when guest can see the photos he has taken.
