College Themed Wedding Favors

Ann Siper
College themed wedding favors are a fun way to show a shared alma mater of the bride and groom. These College themed wedding favors are also fun for a little rivalry if the bride and groom went to different universities!

College Themed Wedding Favors #1

If the bride and groom's colleges were big football rivals, then try this football themed wedding favor on for size. You can use those small winding football toys with feet to have a little fun with your college themed wedding favors.

You will also need one of those winding toy football helmets with feet. You can buy these in bulk online or at the dollar store if you get really luck.

Use puff paint or paint pins in your college colors to at yoru alma mater's letters to your football and helmet. Package yoru college themed wedding favors in clear plastic wedding favor bag. Be sure to add a note that these little winding toys are perfect for racing!

Nothing like a wind up toy race with a cooler theme to get yoru wedding guests laughing.

Donation to schools or scholarships always make a wonderful college themed wedding favor. You do not have to agree on just the bride or groom's college for where the donation should go.

Contact local high schools to find out what local scholarships you can donate to. I et they will have more than one option for yoru an your groom.

If you and yoru groom did go to the same college, then that makes this college themed wedding favor even easier. You can contact your college and ask which scholarships fund you can make a donation to. You can choose a sports themed scholarship, academics, or whatever you and your groom were into in college.

For one final idea for a college themed wedding favor why not use a local cookie company and have them create decorated cookies using the letters of yoru college as inspiration. You can also use yoru college sports mascot as inspiration.

If you and your groom went ot different colleges, then let your local cookie decorating company know you need smaller cookies. This way you can place one cookie in your college them and one in the grooms in the wedding favor bag.

You can decorate you own cookies if you have the time or the talent to save money!

Be sure to have the bakery tie the college themed wedding favor off in ribbons that match your school colors.

    Wedding tributes to your college team is a great idea! Real fanatics can dress in team colors but a subtle reminder can me accomplished with a collegiate wedding garter like those at GartersandSuch.com.

    I really like the idea of a wedding theme that pays tribute to my alma mater. Being a Notre Dame grad, I'm planning on having custom made save the dates and wedding invitations that look like tickets (sportsthemedweddings.com). Our wedding colors are blue and gold and we'll have a notre dame themed wedding cake. Go Irish!
