UNIQUE Wedding favors?

Question

I am looking for websites that have unique wedding favors. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

I listed a few sites that I have checked out myself. I still need to order my favors. There is also a magazine you can purchase to make your own favors, if your into the whole crafty thing.

Answer 2

For my wedding I gave out Lucky Bamboo... I placed two Bamboo stalks together in a cellophane type bag (covering no more than half of the stalks), tied it together with ribbon (color of the wedding) along with a little card with our name and wedding date. The tricky thing about this favor is that it would need to be done no more than a couple days before the wedding. However, if you have enough help it is a great wedding favor. I still have mine from the wedding and so do some of the guests from the wedding... This is over 5 years ago too :).

Answer 3

All of the websites are pretty good, but are you looking for something to buy or do yourself? I'm going to risk the thumbs downs that I may get and give you an idea for a make it yourself one.

Give everyone a rose. (One that won't die...read on.) Buy alot of hershey kisses (you will need 2 per person. I recommend the ones that are wrapped in the basic silver wrap. Get some double stick tape and tape 2 kisses to each other, bottom to bottom. Get some floral wire (may need to cut each wire in half, depending how long of a "rose" you want) and stick through one of the points. Buy any of the following in your wedding colors: foil, saran wrap, or crepe paper. Wrap the saran wrap tightly around the kisses, and also a little bit over the floral wire. Take green floral tape and wrap over the length from the bottom point of the bottom hershey kiss to the end. Add one or 2 artificial rose leaver as you're taping, and presto...a never dying rosebud for each guest. (You can also tie or tape in a ribbon tied to a slip of paper that has you and your hubby's names and wedding date.)

I do have to warn you...Most of this can be done by yourself in your free time, but you MAY want to have a 2nd person around when it comes to wrapping the floral tape.... Floral tape tends to have a mind of it's own when it comes to this project. (Trust me...I've helped 3 different friends use this as a favor for their weddings.) The most expensive thing on the materials list will be the Hershey Kisses, but you can check at your local grocery stores and see if you can buy them in bulk.

Materials needed:
Hershey Kisses
Double Stick Tape (or superglue...would hold a little better, but I've always used tape)
Floral Wire
Floral Tape
Saran Wrap/Foil/Crepe Paper (in your wedding colors, cut into about a 3 by 3 inch square)
Artificial Rose Petals
Ribbon/String (if you do tags)
Paper/Cardstock (if you do tags)

Answer 4

best one my fiance got recently was cup coasters with his name on it. Davidsbridal.com sells them. But about 90% of guests will LEAVE the wedding favors behind. So consider not giving gifts, just give away each table's center piece. That is what I am going to do. Women like gifts, men dont care. So at my bridal shower I will give small gifts and not bother give anything to anyone at the wedding.

Answer 5

There are several sites out there that have great ideas.

http://www.wrapsodydesigns.com/
They do personalized wraps on candy bars.

http://www.foreverandalways.com/
has a wide range of items that can be used.

You could also use your own creativity and paint photo frames, make candles, or other items depending upon how much work you want to put into the project.

Answer 6

I ordered bags that were clear and had little daisies on them and filled them w/ jelly bellies and tied them w/ ribbon. Very cute and everyone loved them! ( Actually my stepmom did it for me lol) You can get jelly bellies in big canasters at Costco, and I'm sure you can find cute bags on a party website(my sister ordered mine and I don't know where from) or you could use tule, but that's not very original

Answer 7

I got married in October and for our favors we did picture coasters. They came in a pack of 2 and you can put your picture in one of them and have a message in the other one. All of our guests loved them and use them! If you want to know where I bought them from (got a really good deal) feel free to email me at [e-mail]

Answer 8

At my brother-in-laws wedding we got cd's of all the songs they played through the wedding and reception...the first dance song, the cut the cake song....it was a cute idea i thought.

Answer 9

We were given some cute personalized pocket-sized notebooks that I found to be very useful. I am guessing they were from The Knot.

Answer 10

I used this specific page/photo gallery to find our favors. There are 24 products on it, and I think almost all of them are unique.
