Unusual Damask Wedding Favors and Presentation Ideas

Anne Wright
Unusual damask wedding favors can help revive your spirits if you're tired of tinned mints and candles. These are 5 offbeat gifts for your wedding guests with presentation ideas to match.

Damask Packing Tape: These are unusual wedding favors that everyone can actually use. This strong adhesive tape with a black damask pattern is tough enough for sealing boxes and beautiful enough for decorating. You can even be eco-friendly, and display these damask wedding favors as the napkin rings in your place settings cutting down on trash and washing. Another presentation option is to arrange them in tiers for a centerpiece and guests can break them apart in the end to take home. ($7.99)

Damask Rubber Gloves: These unusual favors look just a little bit kinky but still very practical for washing dishes. They're sure to please any sexy germaphobe. Made of natural latex , they have a black body and a white and black damask pattern around the cuffs. Stuff them into damask covered tissue boxes, and guests can dispense their own favors. Label the presentation boxes left and right so they won't accidentally wind up taking a mismatched set home with them. ($11.99)

Damask Mug with Spoon: This charming ceramic mug and spoon has a black and white allover pattern. Keep them in their packing boxes so they get home in one piece. You can attach a greeting card to each box with a personal message inside to make each guest feel special. ($5)

Damask Magnet: Zazzle has always been a great place for low price customization for postage, trinkets or unusual wedding favors. Start with a white on maroon patterned damask magnet, and add any images or text you want. One presentation idea would be to arrange them in a pattern of flowers on a display wall. You could also put them out in baskets or trays lined with damask fabrics and bows. ($3.05 with bulk discounts available)

Damask Birdhouses: Birdhouses make unusual wedding favors, and these have lovely ceramic mosaic pieces with an attractive white and black damask pattern. They're about 5 inches wide and 9 inches tall. In moderate weather, they can even be used outdoors. For presentation ideas, arrange them on an artificial indoor tree for guests to help themselves or hang them on a backdrop of painted trees. ($24.95)

All these unusual damask wedding favors can be put to practical use and adapted for creative presentation ideas.
