It also gives the guests a remembrance of the wedding. There is no end to the types of favors for weddings available. The personal taste of the bride depends on the amount of money she has to spend or how much she is willing to spend. Some favors are under a dollar apiece and then they go up from there. Most brides purchase ready-made favors. The bride can decide on a theme by making a list and choosing from the list. From holiday seasons, favorite flowers such as roses, to lilies and daisies there are many themes and colors to choose from. Once the choice is made stick with it. When the wedding guest list is completed, the price of the favors for the guests should be determined. Start low to see what is available and then go up higher if necessary.

So once again, there is another day shot without much accomplished. The sources on the internet are innumerable. The above website has a terrific selection at good prices and they are not likely to run out of stock.

There are some inexpensive personalized favors for the guests that can be had such as personalized bath packages for women and children only.

Wild flower seed packages with a label and a line or two of poetry. For the close family members a CD with wedding songs that have been recorded and a picture of the bride and groom in wedding attire on the label. Buy small coffee packages in the grocery stores, they come in flavors and put a tag on the top or a label giving the wedding information.

Some of the packaging is really unique and lovely on the favors with little flowers on top of the boxes, colored cardboard boxes with brightly colored contrasting ribbon and neatly made bows, adding a beautiful touch to the table. - 15437
