Couples who are in the process of planning their
wedding and neglect to shop for wedding favors early on in the
process may find themselves scrambling at the last minute for
wedding favors.
This often happens as the wedding planning
progresses and the couple gets caught up in other details. Time
can often seem to fly by during the process of planning a
wedding and the couple may keep putting off the process of
shopping for wedding favors until the last minute.
When this happens it can seem stressful but
it is important to remember that all hope is not lost and the
couple can still provide great wedding for their guests even
when shopping at the last minute. This article will provide some
great information on how couples can still give their guests
great wedding favors even when they are shopping at the last
minute.
The first thing to remember when shopping for last minute
wedding favors is that you will likely have to face the fact
that personalized wedding favors will not likely be possible.
This includes favors which include the names
of the bride and groom as well as the wedding date such as candy
bars with customized wrappers or candle holders with a personal
message. Purchasing these types of wedding favors often involve
a lead time of at least a couple of weeks. This means you will
have to order the items a few weeks before you need them.
If you are last minute shopping for your
wedding favors you will not likely have this much time
available. While there are many wedding favor distributors who
will be willing to rush the order for you, they will also likely
charge you very high fees for this service. The cost of rushing
the wedding favor may more than double the price of the favor.
If you are seeking last minute wedding favors, one great idea is
candy. Giving candy as wedding favors can be incredibly quick
and easy. You can purchase gift bags from stores which sell
wedding supplies and fill these bags with some of your favorite
candies. You can purchase the candy in bulk and divide it up
into the smaller bags. Candies such as miniature chocolate bars,
hard candies or other individually wrapped candies are all
appropriate for this use.
Flowers are another great last minute wedding favor idea. If you
are already planning to have floral centerpieces, your florist
may be able to supply one additional flower for each guest in
attendance. This is a very simple gift but it is also extremely
appropriate as a wedding favor.
Flowers are often used as symbols of love so
giving a favor of a flower is an excellent idea for a wedding.
It will also likely closely match the centerpieces so the
wedding favors will actually help to contribute to the décor at
the wedding reception as well as serving as a favor for the
guests.
Finally, if you are in need of a last minute wedding favor you
can have keys made for each of your guest. You can use a ribbon
to attach a note to each key informing your guests that you wish
they will keep in touch through the years and that your home
will always be open to them. The key you give them does not have
to be an actual copy of the key to your house but can rather
serve as a symbolic gesture that you will always be available if
they need you.
