Party Planning Tips

Posts Tagged ‘unique party favors’

According to www.allweddingideas.com, the wedding party favor tradition is rooted in “ancient European history,” where wealthy families would give gifts to thank their guests for sharing in special occasions with them. These favors were typically made of gold, silver, precious gems or crystal to symbolize the five most important ingredients in a marriage bond; health, wealth, happiness, fertility and long life. Sugar, a rare substance of great value, was also a popular gift, which is perhaps why the chocolate wedding favor continues to be popular to this day. In modern times, choosing a wedding favor isn’t just about thanking the guests: it’s about thanking the wedding party too, which is a whole other level of complexity.

The most common gift for your bridesmaids is jewelry; in part because it’s hard to fail at this. Women, by nature, love to adorn themselves with unique, varying accessories, such as a necklace, ring, bracelet or earrings. The great thing about these unique party favors is that the bridesmaids can wear them at the wedding ceremony and also wear them to other fancy events in the future. You may want to choose a wedding party favor like the $25 Swarovski crystal monogrammed charm bracelets at www.beau-coup.com, bridesmaid jewelry sets for under $30 at www.sweetmemorybaskets.com, www.silverandjewelry.com for bridesmaid necklaces for $20-50, or www.smartbrideonline.com for a wide range of stunning jewelry/unique favors for your bridesmaids.

In addition to the jewelry, you may want to add a jewelry box as an additional wedding party favor. At www.beau-coup.com, you can engrave a silver-plated jewelry box for your closest friends for $32.

A great gift for your bridesmaids!

Choosing the perfect wedding party favor gift takes a bit of time. The last thing you want is for your purchases to look rushed and thoughtless. After all, your wedding party took the time to purchase all the items you requested them to wear and they went through the rehearsal dinner ceremony for you. Chances are, they probably advised you every step of the way, whenever you needed an opinion or for guidance on your wedding planning. So six to nine months before your wedding, select the right wedding party gifts to make your wedding an even more memorable one for your guests of honor.
