Unique Wedding Favor Ideas

Dee Bovis
The wedding favor is an important tradition, significant because it is the one item for guests to take home in remembrance of your big day. One thing to remember is to keep the wedding favors male friendly. Brides sometimes forget to cater wedding favors to male guests. Below are a couple unique wedding favor ideas:

Hershey's chocolate kisses:
According to Criss White of ezinearticles.com, "Chocolate is America's favorite flavor, according to recent surveys with a little over 50% of adults preferring chocolate to other flavors." If you want to please the masses, chocolate is a crowd-pleaser. You can customize the messages in the kisses.

Soda Pop:
At myjones.com, you can put your picture on a bottle of soda pop! You can choose from orange and cream, cherry, green apple, cream, root beer, blue bubble gum, Fufu berry, M.F. grape, and berry lemonade. Find a great casual picture of you two smiling to go with the casual feel of the soda pop favor.

Mints (www2.myweddingfavors.com/mint-to-be-bride-groom-mints.html):
The containers for these heart-shaped mints are what makes them winners. Each container has either a groom or a bride with the words "Mint to be." Excellent, appropriate pun. A wedding favor that will actually be used, maybe even by single mingling bridesmaids and groomsmen on the dance floor. It's your way of inspiring romance in the air!

Coffee (www2.myweddingfavors.com/peblpecofa.html):
Another great pun is used with the choice of the name of the coffee: "A Perfect Blend." Along with chocolate, coffee is also usually a crowd-pleaser. It also comes as a tea (www2.myweddingfavors.com/perfect-blend-tea.html). A great wedding favor for out of town guests staying at a hotel who have coffee makers in their room.

CD Mix (verbatim.com):
You can put your favorite slow love songs, an uplifting morning mix with happy love songs, or the songs from your wedding and reception. What makes this CD mix unique is that it looks like a vinyl record and of course you can personalize it with your wedding date, your names, and the name of your CD mix.

Playing Cards (admagic.com/wedding_custom_playing_cards.html):
This favor would be appreciated by the male guest. You can personalize the cards with your names and your choice of art on each card. The are miniature cards perfect for traveling.

Maple syrup or Honey (beau-coup.com/maple-syrup-favors.htm or beau-coup.com/personalized_honey_jars.htm):
If your guests are more on the healthy side and maybe wouldn't appreciate candies, cookies, coffee or chocolate, you can personalize maple syrup or honey containers. The honey containers again use a cute, appropriate pun: "Meant to bee."
