10 Creative Wedding Favors

10 Creative Wedding Favors

If you want your guests to have a treasured memento of your wedding day, avoid the predictable candles, key chains, place cards, and other trinkets. By choosing creative wedding favors, you make your event more memorable and unique while personalizing it in an unusual and exciting way.

Seed Papers: Give your guests a favor that does the planet a favor with wildflower note cards, favor tags, or die cuts that can be planted and grown long after your wedding day.

Regional Favors: Embrace your wedding location by choosing local favors that introduce your guests to regional charm and beauty. Locally made jams, soaps, or figurines are great choices.

Origami: Origami wedding favors can be flowers, animals, stars, or any other shape that matches your wedding theme.

Lip Balm: Invite your guests to pucker up with lip balm favors. Similar options include small bottles of lotion or sunscreen, preferably in scents similar to your wedding theme.

Cultural Favors: Wedding favors can embrace the culture of your wedding. For an Asian theme, consider personalized chopsticks, or for an Irish theme choose romantic Claddagh charms.

Charity: Instead of sending guests home with a favor, print tags to let them know the money budgeted for favors has been donated to a meaningful charity, such as a cancer research center in honor of a deceased parent.

Living Favors: Love comes alive when you choose living wedding favors such as lucky bamboo plants, small cacti, pots of clover, or potted tulip bulbs.

Spices: Add spice to your creative wedding favors by opting for small bottles of spices that mirror your wedding cake favor or reception menu. Cinnamon, thyme, and rosemary are popular choices.

Homemade Treats: Make your favors more meaningful by making them yourself. Homemade cookies, fudge, or other treats with recipes are sweet choices for your guests.

Unique Boxes: If you have your heart set on classic wedding favors such as Jordon almonds, chocolate kisses, or rice or birdseed for tossing, present them creatively. Opt for unique wedding favor boxes such as miniature Chinese take out containers, small plastic pails, tiny terra cotta pots, or pyramid boxes.

Creative wedding favors can be a fun way to express yourself and offer a small token of appreciation to your guests in a memorable and unique way.

Plan your Wedding w/ Mass Ave Flavor

March 7, 2009

One of our favorite parts of Indianapolis is Massachusetts Avenue in Downtown. We love the unique shops & boutiques as well as the Starbucks that always seems to be packed. During our last visit to “Mass Ave” we realized that there were a lot of great places for Indianapolis brides! So, we are going to start a series of posts highlighting locations on Mass Ave that you should check out as you plan your Indianapolis Wedding! “Plan your Wedding w/ Mass Ave Flavor”

The first stop on our journey of Mass Ave is… Silver in the City.

Silver in the City is a chic little store with lots of great jewelery & gifts! A good portion of the jewelery is made by local designers from the Indianapolis area. The jewelery is very affordable as it ranges from $35 to $100. It would be a great place to do some shopping for your bridesmaids gifts! The staff at Silver in the City are well connected to the local Indianapolis jewelery designers, so if you find a piece you like and need 8 of them… they can make it happen! Or, if you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind handmade necklace they can connect you with the right person. The knowledgeable staff is well versed in dealing with Indianapolis brides that are looking for the perfect piece of jewelery.

The store is basically divided into two sections Jewelery & Gifts!

The gift section also has a lot of great things to help you plan your Indianapolis wedding! The store is packed with “nifty gifties” (sorry, that was an obscure reference from the Office) But seriously, they have some of the coolest designed gifts in that store. If you’re looking for a wine rack that can hang from your ceiling or one of those clocks with no numbers – this is your place! Their book collection is a must-have for bachelorette parties & fun gifts for your bridal showers! If you’re from out of town or don’t have an opportunity to make it down to the store… you can find some great Bachelorette Party resources on our IWB Amazon Store!

Silver in the City is truly a gem in downtown Indianapolis, In. Located next to Starbucks on Mass Ave, it’s perfect to grab a latte & do some shopping! Be sure to let em’ know that the Indianapolis Wedding Blog sent ya!
