Favor Facts - A Guide to Selecting the Perfect Wedding Favor
I am amazed at how often I am asked about this topic. Most brides are lost when trying to select the perfect favor to give guests. Why? Well, I believe that it has to do with the current changes in the industry. Weddings are becoming less "stick to the formal etiquette" and more personal. Brides and Grooms are older, more established and more fiscally responsible for their own events.
Favors were originally designed to share in the joyous occasion and pass along good luck to guests. They have since evolved to thanking guests for sharing in their event and to provide a memento of the day. So, how do you choose the perfect one? Well, first of all, let's go over the types of favors generally given to guests and the pro's/con's of each.

Asian Themed Wedding Favors: Bring the Orient to Your Wedding
The Asian culture is admired for its mystery, uniqueness, and serenity. You do not need to be Asian to choose an Asian theme for your wedding. To bring your concept to fruition, you must find Asian wedding favors that will perfectly complement your décor.
Fortune Cookies and Take Out Containers A vast majority of the time, when you buy Asian food you are given a fortune cookie as a gift. It contains a fortune that is usually positive, and is meant to brighten your day. You can do the same thing with Asian themed wedding favors at your reception. Brighten their day with good fortune predictions. Buy elaborately decorated Asian takeout containers, and fortune cookies to fill them. Attach a personalized note to each container advising your guest that they should open one cookie per day, and enjoy! You can also buy fortune cookie soaps as Asian wedding favors for your guests. These favors come wrapped inside of white Asian takeout containers with personalize labels as well. Of course, you don't have to fill your Asian wedding takeout container favors with fortune cookies. You can also fill your Asian themed wedding favors with Asian candies like litchi gummies, spiced watermelon seeds, and soda candies. You will not only give your guests something new to try, but also take your Asian wedding favors to the next level. Get Everyone Involved – Interactive Asian Party Favors The ideal result of any special wedding theme is to get your guests involved. Supply Asian party favors that will require guests to get involved. The less your guests do, the more likely they will be bored and want to leave early so that they can catch an episode of The Golden Girls. You don't want to have to wake Uncle Ray up from his nap at the reception table, so make sure that you come up with some inventive and interactive ideas for your Asian themed wedding favors. Silk wedding fans are Asian wedding favors that everyone can use. They can be used for utility in an outdoor wedding, or you can specifically instruct your guests to pick up their silk wedding fans and fan themselves at a certain time in the ceremony or reception. For example, while the bride is walking down the aisle, the band can play an Asian-themed song and your guests can be a sea of moving silk fans. (You may want to gift these Asian themed wedding favors to the women only—men may feel funny about fanning themselves with a pink party favor.) During the Chinese New Year, sparklers are popular. Give wedding sparklers as Asian wedding favors for your Asian themed wedding affair. Due to the fact that fire is involved, you may want to restrict lighting of the sparklers until you and your guests are outside. You can have your guests light their sparklers and wave them slowly in the air while you and your groom make your way out of the church or reception hall. Asian party favors are a great way to set off your Asian wedding theme. Do thorough research on the different Asian cultures to gather even more innovative ideas for your Asian themed wedding. momentsofelegance |

Wedding Favors that Men Will Appreciate Men say that they aren't picky, but we all know that deep down they really are. They only want what they want, nothing more, nothing less. For example, if a man wants Nike sneakers and they are out of stock, he won't settle for another brand. The same is true in business dealings—they want what they want and will not settle for anything less. So knowing this, when you are thinking about wedding favors that men will appreciate, you have to think about what a man will actually accept and like. If you get him something that he can't use, he will most likely toss it to the side. Don't neglect to consider these practical wedding favors for the men who will be in attendance at your wedding. Watches You can't go wrong with watches as far as wedding favors that men will appreciate. You can never have too many choices as far as watches are concerned. They are practical wedding favors that will never go out of style. Choose a style that is masculine, tasteful, and basic.
