Why choose personalized wedding favors instead of plain, standard ones? Wedding favors are a direct reflection of the bride and groom style and taste. The couple can try to opt for little mementos to make their beautiful day more cherished to the guests and nothing says special more than something inscribed with the couple's special information.

The personalization project to be undertaken by the couples should be fun and creative. The wedding favor personalization options for the grooms and brides-to-be are endless. Start by taking a look at the conventional favors available on the market and then work from there as to brainstorm how you can make the favors your own as a couple. Sweets, glasses, vases and coaster are great personalized favors. It's also great exercise for the bride and groom-to-be to work together on the favors.

Take inspiration from your favorite holiday spots, songs, colors, seasons, sport or even movies. Ask both your families for recommendations. Just about any item can fit into your wedding theme and be personalized with your information to give to your guests.

Personalization in general can cost more than conventional wedding favors however with a bit of shopping around, savings can be substantial even on expensive processes like printing and sandblasting. Discounts for large volume orders might also be available.

Don't get hung up on what's traditional or proper. Try and make the favors yourself. Don't under estimate your creativity or that of your partner. He or she may even surprise you with fantastic ideas. This is in fact a wonderful way to add a genuine, personal touch to your wedding favors that your guests will truly appreciate.

The easiest option would be to buy favors both woman and men can enjoy however by separating the favors based on the guests' gender will make the guests will feel more effort was put into the event. Wrapped favors must be clearly marked for easy identification as either being male or female favors. It can be a pretty embarrassing situation when a male guest gets purple pearly bubble bath and a female guest a bottle of men's cologne as wedding favors.

Just about every wedding will have a special or honored guests in attendance. Why not give these special guests their own favors? Guests of honor can be siblings, in-laws and family that traveled far to attend the event. These guests surely put more effort into attending or assisting with the wedding so spending more on their favors is justified. Higher quality and expensive items can be personalized such as glasses or wine for them. A handwriting note also shows that little more thanks and appreciation for the special guest.
