One of the many challenges brides and wedding planners face overcoming is finding the perfect wedding favors. The purpose of a wedding favor is to thank guests for attending the wedding, providing their support and encouragement to the bride and groom, and to thank them for any gifts they might have given them. (It should be noted that the gift of a wedding favor does not replace or excuse the need for a thank you card and letter.)

The tip to successful wedding favors is choosing favors that are both thoughtful and unique. Most brides try to pick favors that are simply popular. Instead of following the latest trends, you should instead aim to choose the type of favors that will uniquely reflect your personal sense of style and creativity. A wedding favor should create a lasting impression among all of the guests at your wedding. Additionally, a wedding favor that can actually be used is also a very appreciated type of gift.

So, what type of wedding favors should you seek out? Well, some marrying couples try to find wedding favors that will reflect their own personal sense of style, or perhaps their own culture, religion or sense of beliefs. Others may opt for more casual, fun and whimsical items, the types of gifts that simply bring a smile and provide some sort of function to the recipient.

What's hot right now? There are many different big ticket wedding favors that are making the rounds at weddings this year. Chinese take-out boxes are always quite a popular choice, regardless of culture, religion or heritage. These inexpensive boxes can be colored or decorated so that they match the theme of the wedding, and then filled with delicious edibles, or small personal items. The nice thing about these types of wedding favors is that they are very inexpensive and also very easy to customize. And because they can be colored and decorated to match the theme of any wedding, it is quite easy to adapt them to any wedding, no matter its style.

Other ideas for unique and fun wedding favors include chopsticks, small photo albums, personal snow globes, tote bags filled with personal items, and even gift certificates.
