Practical wedding favor ideas

We all want our wedding day remembered by our guests and one sure way to do this is by arranging to have practical wedding favor ideas organized. This is important because favors which are given for other reasons may not be valued by your guests and in fact they may be quickly discarded soon after your wedding and will not serve as a reminder of your wedding.

Anyone can provide easy and inexpensive wedding favor ideas but that little extra thought you put into it will ensure they appreciate the gesture as well. These favors may not be the most romantic but they are much more likely to be appreciated by your guests than more whimsical items such as figurines and potpourri.

One practical suggestion is coasters which are easily obtainable in a number of shapes, including the romantic heart shape but can also be designed to have your wedding theme imprinted. Heart shaped coasters will be ideal because they are romantic and convey the sentiment of love but they are also something your guests can really use. Special images of the themed wedding can easily be placed on the coasters but it is just as easy to only place one image on the coasters and leave the rest blank so each guest can place their favorites on them when they are ready.

Practical wedding favors can also be something that can be used on a daily basis like key chains for instance and they come in a huge range of styles but consider carefully which design you will choose for the men and again for the women. This may prove to be a compromise as to be used every day they will need to be strong but also be memorable enough so that everyone will instantly recognize where they received them.

Candles are also a popular wedding favor and are often used because they are simple to obtain, can be themed or engraved and are very likely to be used at some time in the future. Although candles are rarely used nowadays because they have to be, the light from them is still pleasing and it has become fashionable once again to use them and turn the main lights off to provide a wonderful atmosphere. Candles will not be a wedding favor that goes into a bin as they are very practical and will be used at some point.

A small but romantic practical wedding favor comes in the form of a wine charm which tends to be used more at weddings so can be found with a wedding bell or heart shape quite easily. Wine charms are used to identify a person's drink and can be very useful if you have friends around as they can be placed on the glass and easily recognized. These are the type of wedding favors that can actually be used at the wedding as well as it is easy to mislay your drink when there are so many other guests around.
