Spring is officially upon us, and in the coming weeks and months, there is sure to be a rash of nuptial ceremonies. If you are one of those looking to tie the knot in the immediate future, your preparations are hopefully well underway. If not, I feel sorry for you, but all is not lost. One of the best ways to plan a wedding in limited time is by selecting a theme and running with it.
If your ceremony is in the spring, it is only natural to choose floral arrangements, decorations and even a cake that highlight the natural beauty of this time of year. Make sure to make all of the major arrangements first, such as picking the dress, menu, cake and venue. Once the heavy lifting is out of the way, you can work out the details like seating arrangements and the spring wedding favors.
If you’ve ever been invited to a bridal shower, it’s very likely that you’ve delivered a small sigh of trepidation. Many shower parties, after all, can be full of awkward games and forced chitchat. That’s why every bridal shower should be limited to a small group of close friends. In this way, there will be less lags and lulls at your party. Also, make sure your activities are actually something fun and different.
For example, have everyone in the bridal shower party create their own pizza. You can go as elaborate or as simple as you want with this, but it’s a great activity everyone can enjoy. Plus, it will cut down on food or catering costs, because you can eat your creations when they’re done. As bridal shower favors, include love themed pizza cutters. They’re practical, and they’re a fun reminder of the party!
Lots of people are interested in having a nontraditional wedding. Especially since marriage is considered by many to be one of the most traditional institutions, people tend to seek out unique or interesting ways to tie the knot. One of the common ways to combat this traditionalism is by getting married on the beach. While the majority of weddings are still conducted in traditional churches, that still leaves a large chunk of people who flock to the Justice of the Peace, the beach, or other venues.
No matter what kind of wedding you want, it’s natural to want to commemorate your special day in several different ways. By far, the most common way is to take photos. But the bride and groom aren’t the only ones who want to remember weddings. If you’ve just witnessed the marriage of your son, daughter, brother, or sister, you’ll be just as anxious to remember the day as anyone else. Brides and grooms should keep that in mind and always remember to hand out wedding favors. Especially if you had a unique wedding, such as a beach wedding, don’t forget to hand out beach wedding favors. They’re sure to be as unique as the wedding itself, and everyone will have a great way to remember the day.
When planning a wedding, it is important to keep everything simple yet classy. And one surefire way to add some understated sophistication to the ceremony is to use candles as wedding favors.

So you can pick and choose what best complements the theme of your wedding. They are also completely customizable.

2. Tie a simple white ribbon around the middle of the candle.
3. Wrap it in gauzy white fabric.

Special occasion keepsakes don’t always have to be made of glass, silver, ceramic, plastic, or cloth. In keeping with today’s ecological campaigns about minimalism and reducing clutter and waste, it seems a better, more realistic idea to give away edibles and beneficial items during weddings, parties, reunions, and other momentous happenings.
A few sensible couples have already put this in practice. Rather than have an oversized cake made for the grand event, one newlywed pair opted for several little cakes which they then presented as wedding favors to guests and loved ones. The petite cakes were packaged in cute cartons that carried the colors and motif of the bridal entourage, as well as a personal message from the husband and wife. Of course, the recipients of the boxed cakes were thrilled with their booty and went home with smiles on their faces.
Another couple contributed to the Earth’s cause when they tied the knot. They did this by giving everyone bookmarkers made of recycled paper. More significant though was the message in the keepsake which stated that a mahogany tree has been planted in the name of each guest/recipient, and that this move will benefit more than just a community in the years to come.
Unique wedding favors which draw attention to the theme of the wedding will serve as lasting memories for you and your guests. Personalized wedding favors are often overlooked, or regarded as less important than flowers or the cake. However, wedding favors is the one item you and your guests will take away from the wedding and potentially keep. Thus to serve as a lasting keepsake memory, it is important to have wedding favors which best represent the bride and groom and the love shared between them.
If the bride and groom both are wine connoisseurs, you might consider beautiful chrome heart bottle stopper as wedding favors, or if both are religious and more traditional, candles representing heavenly light and warmth can make a unique wedding favor as well.
