Wedding Favor Ideas!

Giving parting gifts at a wedding or bridal shower is tradition. Gifts are usually exchanged among the bride and groom’s families beforehand and wedding guests are parted with sweets (mitai, pita, etc) after the ceremony. If sending your guests home with just sweets is a little too cliche for you, here are some great ideas to personalize your special day and help your guests remember it forever!

Sweet-scented Sandalwood Fans from Wrap With Us

These beautifully crafted fans are not only soft on the eyes and smell oh so sweet! You can even get them personalized and for only $0.79 a piece at www.wrapwithus.com, you won’t have to rob the bank to give your guests a sweet smelling gift they will treasure forever!

Jeweled Harem Mirrors from Hanson Ellis

I personally love these bejeweled mirrors because of their festive colors and design. They may not be suitable for the male guests at your wedding, but they would make excellent favors for the ladies and can also be used as bridal shower favors. Sold for $3.95 a piece at www.hansonellis.com, these mirrors may be a little pricy for favors but they are just exquisite!
