Or is your bride or groom of Indian lineage? During weddings, giving wedding favors are also customary in the Indian culture. Same with the general concept, wedding favors in Indian weddings are meant to express gratitude and appreciation for the time and blessings of the guests to the new couple. As much as they have made the wedding memorable, the couple also would want their guests to leave and have a token of appreciation for the time spent with them.

Here are some suggestions for traditional Indian wedding favors:

- Spice packets – These unique and flavorful spices are common in Indian cuisine. Some spices that are commonly used in Indian cooking include cinnamon, chili powder, tumeric, cumin, saffron, and mustard seed. You can make mini jars of these or create one use packets to make it easy for your guests when they are cooking a meal.

Create your own spice blend and even attach a recipe to it for a truly unique favor.

- Incense gift box – This gift set is meant to bring harmony and peace in households. Your guests will know that you mean well with the gift of harmony.

- Honey jars – This sweet edible favor is also a common gift favor in India. Simply print out a personalized color label a place it on the jars that you will give to your guests.

- Other favors are: Sandalwood fan, beaded jewelry box, silver coins, or dried fruits.

- Elephant shaped soap and candles – The elephant is an important image used in so many occasions, symbolisms and in religious celebrations. Have soaps or candles elephant-shaped and this is a fool-proof wedding favor.

- Bracelets – Indian women love to accessorize.

Similar in Bollywood where women wear a number of bracelets or necklaces, and even elaborate headdresses, their love for such accessories will make your bracelet favors a hit. Make it as elaborate or as decorated as possible to ensure that your female guests will like them.

Other traditional favors, that while they may not be local to India in nature, they are popular and generally accepted as well. Such favors are: coasters, candle holder and Jordan almonds.

As for packaging, you can use organza bags to make them more presentable and you will seem to have really spent a lot of time preparing them. Depending on the item, you can also put the favor inside a clear cellophane bag and tie it up with a ribbon.

If you do not have an Indian community in your area, you can buy Indian wedding favors online. Make sure your budget includes the shipping and other applicable taxes. If you are in the US, many US sites offer Indian favors as well so no need to shop internationally. Also make sure that the delivery date can be met.

By being culturally-sensitive to these items, you are sure to please all of your guests on your special day. Make sure that Indian customs, traditions, and wedding etiquette are also followed so that you will not seem culturally insensitive and also make sure that you don’t disrespect any traditions or Indian values. With Indian wedding favors, your Indian wedding celebration will be complete.

What you choose as a wedding favor can be something that is reflective of your interests, the things you enjoy, or they can be a traditional gift such as chocolates or truffles. But why not get creative and let your wedding guests take home a little bit of who you are to better remember your wedding. The following are a few ideas for creative wedding favors.

Is there a hobby that interests you or your groom? For example, some people like to picnic in open fields as they travel throughout the country having picnics in exotic locations. If that's you, then a great way to share that with people is to have a miniature picnic basket at each table filled with cheese or a recipe for the ideal picnic. Maybe you're a photographer. If so, think of giving a photograph as a gift.

It can be of a place you both have enjoyed or something else creative.

People do like food. Most people enjoy cookies, chocolates and candy. One way to make it your own is to have the cookies cut to reflect something you like or something related to the wedding. You could have the cookies cut into hearts or in the shape of a dog if you're a dog lover. Candies can be personalized with the date of the wedding or even with the couple's image. Some prefer to have a candy table where people can help themselves to their favorite treats.

Donations. A really nice way to share your passion is to give a donation in each guest's name to your favorite charity. Not only does this let people know what cause is important to you, it helps out people in need instead of giving a trinket that will sit in a closet or end up in the garbage.

Saving the earth. If the environment is important to you, consider giving each guest a sapling they can plant and watch grow. Wildflower seeds are another option. These are gifts that keep on giving throughout the year and a beautiful reminder of you and your wedding.

You could also give something that's related to a particular career, either yours or your future husbands. An artist could create a miniature rendition of a favorite work and have it copied and framed. A doctor could give 'candy' medicine to each table.

For those without a lot of money to spend a simple poem can be a beautiful way to give people something to remember you by. A story is another great idea. If you're a musician, then how about a CD of your work? Give people something to talk about and enjoy long after the wedding has passed.

No matter what kind of party favor you choose, have fun with it. Celebrate your day and let people know what's important to you. This will let them feel closer to you.

Best edible wedding favors http://xtroadinary.com/best-edible-wedding-favors/ http://xtroadinary.com/best-edible-wedding-favors/#comments Sat, 12 Nov 2011 21:59:26 +0000 Xtroadinary Wedding Ideas http://xtroadinary.com/best-edible-wedding-favors/ Wedding favors are a small way to tell your guests thank you for sharing your special day. Every bride wants to offer unique wedding favors that her guests will truly appreciate. For your wedding, consider skipping the tea light candles, the wine bottle stoppers and other small trinkets. Edible wedding favors are the ones that every guest is sure to remember!

Candy wedding favors are fun and always appreciated. Small wedding favor knick-knacks that your friends will give out probably are not useful and will just sit around a guest’s home gathering dust. They also tend to be more expensive than candy or chocolate wedding favors. Here are a few ideas to get your creativity flowing!

Traditional Treats

Nuts, mints, petit fours and small chocolates are the traditional edible wedding favors.

These food items are generally easy to find, enjoyed by most people, relatively inexpensive and easy to make into gifts.

Mini Wedding Favors

Who doesn’t love mini candies?! If you still want to fill small bags or favor boxes with treats, consider using Hershey’s kisses or mini chocolate bars. You can even find personalized mini candy bar wrappers for wedding favors! Your guests will love that you included your name, your spouse-to-be’s name and wedding date on the little candy bar wrapper. They will be impressed by the truly personalized touch you added to the favors.

Personal Favorites

Maybe you and your fiancé have a favorite candy or one that has special meaning to your relationship. Consider giving this item out to your guests. For example, if his name is Clark, pass out Clark bars with a specialty wrapper to make the wedding favors even more personalized.

If you do this, remember to include a note explaining why the candy is so special to your relationship.

Homemade Treats

If you have extra time and need to work off some of the pre-wedding jitters, make your own wedding favors. You can make cookies or brownies a couple of days before your wedding and pack them into airtight containers, or make the dough a month ahead of time and freeze it until you need it. Use this favor as a special way to honor a loved one – make your grandmother’s famous chocolate chip cookies or your mom’s outstanding brownies. As with the personal favorites candies, include a note explaining the treat and why it is so special to you.

Themed Candy

You can find candy that matches your wedding theme for a fun tie in. Personalized chocolate bars are the best way to do this. Gourmet chocolate wedding favors that are wrapped in personalized candy bar wrappers will be a hit! Find themed candy bar wrappers that match your wedding or simply include your names, wedding date and a picture.

Finding the perfect wedding favors on a budget can be difficult, but it shouldn’t have to be. Consider what is special to you and your spouse-to-be and think about how you can convey that to your guests in a way they will appreciate. Edible wedding favors can be fun and are sure to bring a smile to every guest’s face.

Casino Themed Wedding Favors http://xtroadinary.com/casino-themed-wedding-favors/ http://xtroadinary.com/casino-themed-wedding-favors/#comments Tue, 01 Nov 2011 06:59:21 +0000 Xtroadinary Wedding Ideas http://xtroadinary.com/casino-themed-wedding-favors/ A casino or Vegas wedding theme is a popular choice with many couples & one which calls for some fun wedding favors.

Here are a few ideas for some Vegas casino style wedding favors:

Gambling chips: many favor stores provide versions of poker or gambling chips. They often come in a range of colors & can be personalized with your names & wedding date, creating your own casino in the process!

You will also find bookmarks & key rings with gambling chips & even candle holders.

Playing cards: a deck of cards on its own may not seem like much of a gift, so look for decks that can be personalized or for unusual packs of cards, perhaps with printed photographs on the back or one's which come in unusual packets.

Also look for card bookmarks & key chains, bottle stoppers, coasters, fridge magnets & candle holders.

However, I will say that a pack of cards could keep your guests occupied during any lulls in the entertainment at the wedding reception!

Dice: look for sets of dice, usually in twos, & which may be personalized.

You will also find dice printed favor boxes in which you could put chocolate gambling chips or chocolate dice!

Check out dice themed bottle stoppers, bookmarks, keepsake boxes, lollipops& key chains.

Chocolates: you will find casino themed chocolates in the shape of dice, chips, cards & casino printed wrappers for bars & candies.

Slot Machines: why not give your guests a candy slot machine & let them gamble their wedding favors out!

Other favor ideas include: dollar sign wine pourer/stopper, Las Vegas mint tins, pencils, place card holders, matchbooks, Lucky 7 personalized boxes, tote bags. Dice cuff links, wine glass charms, mini roulette key chain, shot glasses & candles.

Why not add to your casino theme with a roulette wheel or poker table at the reception to entertain your guests, hire a James Bond look-alike to mingle with your guests & have their photographs taken with him. Serve up Martini's as your wedding cocktail - shaken not stirred!

Wedding Favors Etiquette http://xtroadinary.com/wedding-favors-etiquette/ http://xtroadinary.com/wedding-favors-etiquette/#comments Fri, 09 Sep 2011 07:59:54 +0000 Xtroadinary Wedding Ideas http://xtroadinary.com/wedding-favors-etiquette/ Although many of these rules are not as rigid as other types of etiquette it is important to realize there are some generally accepted principles which are associated with the distribution of wedding favors. These rules of etiquette include questions such as whether or not favors are necessary, whether or not favors should be given to children, how favors should be distributed and how much should be spent on wedding favors. This article will take a look at some of these rules of etiquette and will hopefully help the reader to understand a little more about the etiquette involved in giving wedding favors.

 

The question of whether or not wedding favors are necessary is certainly one question many couples have as they are planning their wedding day. The answer to this question is that wedding favors are not absolutely required but they are certainly expected. This means you do not have to give wedding favors but many of your guests will be expecting to receive one. Therefore not distributing favors is not recommended. This is because wedding favors are a way of thanking your guests for coming to your wedding and offering them a memento of the occasion. While you can certainly visit with each guest individually to express your thanks for their attendance this may not be possible if you are having a very large wedding. You may make an effort to visit with each guest but may simply run out of time. However, if you provide wedding favors your guests will know their attendance at the wedding was appreciated. 

 

If you are including children in your wedding ceremony and reception you should definitely give some thought to giving wedding favors to the children. Traditionally, children at a wedding would receive the same favor as the adults. However, some couples may opt to give the children a favor which is more age appropriate. This can be difficult to do because in most cases favors are merely left on the table. If you only have one or two children in attendance you can simply place favors at each place setting and during the reception take some time to visit with the children and offer them the more age appropriate favor in addition to the one found at their place setting. However, if you plan on having a large number of children in attendance this technique can create a significant additional expense because each of the children will be receiving two favors. In this case you can place the favors with the place cards. This will help to ensure the children are all receiving the appropriate wedding favor. 

 

Another concern couples often have regarding wedding favor etiquette is how the favors should be distributed. The easiest and most common way to distribute wedding favors is to place the favors at each place setting before the reception begins. In most catering halls the staff will be happy to put the favors out while they are setting the tables. However, if they are unable to do so, you can ask a friend or family member to visit the catering hall before the reception to take care of this detail. For guests who do not attend your wedding but send a gift in advance you might want to consider mailing a favor to them along with a thank you note to express your gratitude for their kindness. 

 

Many couples are concerned with the cost of wedding favors. In fact one of the primary reasons many couples consider not giving wedding favors is they think it will be too costly. It is important to note that wedding favors do not have to be extravagant or expensive. A favor of a simple flower can be quite inexpensive and still shows your appreciation for your guests. Deciding how much to spend on wedding favors is mostly a matter of your personal budget. You should set a budget for wedding favors first and then begin shopping for favors which you think will be appropriate. This will allow you to seek out great deals and offer your guests the most appropriate wedding favor you can afford to give.

Wedding Favors For a Beach Themed Wedding http://xtroadinary.com/wedding-favors-for-a-beach-themed-wedding/ http://xtroadinary.com/wedding-favors-for-a-beach-themed-wedding/#comments Tue, 06 Sep 2011 18:00:39 +0000 Xtroadinary Wedding Ideas http://xtroadinary.com/wedding-favors-for-a-beach-themed-wedding/ This can really help to tie the theme of the wedding together and will serve as a great reminder of the wedding. If you select a favor which is very closely related to the atmosphere of the wedding your guests are much more likely to remember your wedding well when they see your favor in their home. If you choose to give out favors which are not closely related to your theme, the favors will not likely trigger memories of your wedding for your guests. This article will provide some examples of favors which would be appropriate for a wedding with a beach related theme. 

 

One great wedding favor idea which works well with a beach related theme is a gift of a votive candle in a holder designed to look like a beach pail. This really helps to convey the theme of the wedding and your guests are sure to remember your wedding fondly whenever they see the favor from your wedding. These types of favors can be very inexpensive but they are something your guests can really use and will serve as a great reminder of your wedding.

 

Giving out seashells as wedding favors is another great idea for a beach themed wedding. You can find authentic shells at party supply stores craft supply stores. To further carry the theme in the favor you can purchase decorative fishing nets and cut the net into small squares. Once you do this you can place the shells in the center of the square and use twine to tie the corners of the square together. This creates a very appealing presentation which is really representative of the theme of the wedding because both the favor itself and the wrapping material are indicative of the theme.

 

Magnets which are related to the beach can also make great wedding favors for a wedding with a beach theme. You can choose magnets in the shape of flip flops, starfishes, seashells or any other shape which accurately reflects the theme. This is such a great idea for a favor because it is not only a favor which will always remind your guests of the wedding but it is also a favor which is very practical. Your guests will likely keep your favor displayed prominently on their refrigerators where they will see it every day and be reminded of you and your wedding. Hopefully will it will serve as an enjoyable reminder of your wedding.

 

You can also combine your place card holders and your favor to contribute to the atmosphere at your wedding and also give your guests a favor which will be a keepsake which will remind your guest of your wedding. An example of this might be place card holders in the shape of sailboats, starfishes, seashell or even dolphins. These can be used at your wedding to hold cards with your guests name and table number but your guests can also take them home as a favor. Once at home your guests can insert a picture and use the place card holders as a modern and elegant picture frame instead. This allows your guests to get additional use out of your favor and also gives them a favor which will serve as a reminder of your wedding.

 

Bookmarks which relate to the beach are also appropriate favors for a wedding with a beach theme. This can also be a favor which is both practical and inexpensive. Simple paper bookmarks may not be appropriate as favors but you can purchase more elegant sterling silver bookmarks which are more appropriate are favors. These favors are not only attractive but they give the impression that you really were looking for a favor which your guests will appreciate. You can even combine a beach themed bookmark with a short book of love poems as a favor for your wedding so the theme of the wedding is combined with the overall theme of love.

Unique Wedding Favors For Each Table http://xtroadinary.com/unique-wedding-favors-for-each-table/ http://xtroadinary.com/unique-wedding-favors-for-each-table/#comments Tue, 21 Jun 2011 06:01:53 +0000 Xtroadinary Wedding Ideas http://xtroadinary.com/unique-wedding-favors-for-each-table/ Although it is not very common, some couples may opt to provide unique wedding favors for each table at their wedding. The more standard practice is to give each guest the same favor but if the centerpieces will vary from table to table the couple may want to vary the favors as well. This is a great idea for a couple who cannot settle on one overall theme for the wedding. They may choose to have a different theme for each table and as a result may also prefer to have a different wedding favor for each table. This article will take a look at some of the advantages and disadvantages of offering unique wedding favors for each table at your reception.

One of the most obvious advantages to offering unique favors at each table is it prevents the couple from having to select just one wedding favor. There is a wide variety of wedding favors available and many couples have a great deal of trouble selecting just one favor. This may be because they are not agreeing on which favor would be the most appropriate or because they each have several different favors which they really like and are having difficulty narrowing down their options. For either of these cases, the idea of giving different wedding favors at each table is a great idea.

Another advantage to giving unique wedding favors for each table is that the couple can branch out and either choose several different themes or one overall theme which they vary slightly from table to table. This can make the process of shopping for wedding favors a lot more fun for couples who enjoy doing this. However, couples who feel stressed out by the process of selecting wedding favors would be wise to simply stick to one wedding favor because the process of selecting several different favors can make the planning exponentially more stressful.

One of the major disadvantages of offering unique favors at each table is the couple will not likely be eligible for bulk order discounts. Many wedding favor manufacturers are often willing to offer discounts to couple who are ordering a large number of the same favor to distribute to all of their guests. However, couples who are ordering different favors for each table will likely not qualify for these discounts. Most weddings have approximately 8-12 people at each table. This means the couple will not be ordering many of each favor and will most likely have to pay full price for each one.

Another disadvantage to providing unique wedding favors for each table is it can make setting the tables more complicated. If each table will also have a unique centerpiece and the wedding favors are designed to match the centerpiece, special care must be taken to ensure the correct favors are placed at the correct table. This may be obvious if the favors are unwrapped but if they are wrapped it can be incredibly difficult. Someone familiar with the favors and how they were wrapped should oversee the process of setting the tables to ensure the correct favors are placed at each table.

Another disadvantage to giving unique wedding favors to each table is it may create discontent among the guests. For example some guests may feel as though the favors given to one table are nicer than the ones given to the table at which they are seated. This is not a major concern as most guests will not make these types of comparisons but if the couple is concerned about this possibility they may wish to keep the wedding favors the same for each table.
