Quirky and Unique Ideas for Wedding Favors

J. Darling
Choosing the wedding favors to pass out at a wedding reception might seem like a minor detail amidst all of the other major tasks that have to be planned for the big day, but they're still an important detail. Many couples thank their guests for attending their wedding with traditional wedding favors, like bags of Jordan almonds, but wedding favors don't have to be boring or plain. Feel free to step outside of the box and give your guests something memorable and fun like these fabulous, quirky, and unusual wedding favors.

Mustache Wedding Favors

Mustaches are very trendy right now and also can be the basis of some very unique and fun wedding favors. While this might not suit every wedding theme, a couple having a quirky wedding ceremony and reception could easily incorporate favors like a mustache on a stick for cute and silly photo opportunities among the guests. Iced sugar cookies in the shape of mustaches or chocolate candy made from mustache candy molds could satisfy everyone's sweet tooth. Baking and decorating your own cookies and candy and wrapping them in cellophane paper tied with a nice ribbon can also help save money. Personalize your baked goods with colorful labels printed with the couples' name and date of the ceremony.

Casino or Las Vegas Themed Wedding Favors

Luck will be a lady at your reception if you choose to give your guests decks of playing cards featuring personal touches, such as the bride's and groom's names. Personalized playing cards would be perfect for a wedding with a Las Vegas or a casino night theme and who knows; perhaps a poker game will give wallflowers and card sharks something fun to do if they're not into dancing! Additional ideas of personalized wedding favor with a casino night twist would be to give customized poker chips or personalized wedding dice, like these from Wrapped Occasions.

Rock and Roll Themed Wedding Favors

For a couple who lives and breathes the rock and roll lifestyle, there are several unique wedding favor ideas that tailor to this theme. Personalized guitar picks and temporary tattoos would make fun additions to a favor goodie bag or to have scattered on reception tables as part of the decor. Couples can also give guests customized shot or shooter glasses as wedding favors. If your guests would enjoy liquor, purchase miniature bottles of tequila or vodka and then personalize them with labels for smaller bottles, like these from Online Labels. Guests will also get a kick out of mix CD's, perhaps with the playlist used during the wedding ceremony and reception to remind them of how much fun they had at your celebration.
