Importance of Place Card Holders & Personalized Wedding Favors

By Aaron H.

There are so many different details involved in planning a wedding and making it the happiest day in a brides life. A location and theme must be chosen for the wedding, caterers must be hired, decorations must be ordered, along with flowers and many, many more items. Some things can be put on the back burner, so to speak, until more major details have been handled. Two things, the importance of which can not be over estimated are place card holders and personalized wedding favors.

Place card holders may not sound like a major item, but failure to order them and make sure that they match the rest of the decorations chosen for the location of the wedding party can be viewed as a disaster by the bride. Anything that makes this day less than perfect would actually be a disaster because the wedding day is supposed to be perfect for the bride.

Place cards are used to provide seating arrangements at the reception as a way of assuring that people who love the bride or groom but do not get along well together are kept separate. Place card holders are as much a part of the decorations as the flowers, and at least as important if not more so.

Giving wedding favors has become the new tradition for thanking guests for taking time from their own schedules and coming to the wedding to make it a happy day for the bride and groom. Wedding favors are usually small, inexpensive items chosen for their sentimental value and to match the season, the wedding theme, or the personality of the new couple. Wedding favors convey the message of genuine gratitude more effectively than sending out Thank you cards alone could do.

The variety of items given as wedding favors is huge. It is important, however, to remember to choose at least one item, if not more, to have personalized with the names of the bride and groom and their wedding date. These personalized wedding favors are included as unique reminders of the joy shared with the couple on this special day. Personalized wedding favors could easily fall through the cracks and be overlooked during the planning process and ordering things for the wedding. Should this happen, it would be a true disaster for the bride and groom because the perfection of the day would be marred.

It takes several steps to plan a wedding and get everything together at the right place and time to ensure her wedding day is the happiest in a brides life. Two items that may seem minor, yet whose value can not be over rated, are place card holders matching the wedding theme and personalized wedding favors to give the guests. - 15437
