You’ve never been much for delicate, frilly décor. Maybe you associate the pageantry of formal weddings with needless pretension. As a result, you’ve determined that your wedding will be as casual as taste and tradition permits. No worries! There are plenty of options for people who want a relaxed nuptial event – starting with the event keepsakes.
Here are several choices of wedding favors for relaxed, casual weddings:
Personalized Tags
These adhesive-backed tags are ideal for the event where informal is the word of the day. Either the Rectangle Frame Personalized Tags (Sheet of 21) or the Basic Rectangle Personalized Tag (Sheet of 21) can display the names of the bride and groom and the date and/or location of the wedding. These can be used as table labels or similar identifiers.
Candy
Forget about dainty mints. Your guests will truly appreciate candy they can sink their taste buds into. You can order Hershey's Kisses Wedding Favors or Hershey's Miniatures Chocolate Wedding Favors, both of which can be personalized with your name and/or the wedding date on the wrappers. If you want a confectionary that’s a bit more original, you might opt for the Mini Classic Gumball Dispenser, which has a working crank that rewards you with Dubble Bubble bubble gum each time it is turned.
Magnets
Because they look good on any refrigerator, filing cabinet, or work area, these keepsakes are a non-pretentious way to keep your wedding celebration in your guests’ minds long after the event has passed. The “Our Course is Set" Boat Wheel Magnet Favor Gift (6/pk) is perfect for a nautical-themed or destination nuptial event. The "Love Bug" Ladybug Magnets by Kate Aspen (Set of 2) sport smiling faces and sit in a “mini-backyard” gift box with a picket fence and tiny rope handle. For a dash of whimsy, choose "The Perfect Pair" Refrigerator Magnet in Retro Kitchen Gift Box by Kate Aspen, which features two love struck pears hanging on a tiny fridge in a compact kitchen scene.
Beverage Mixes
These wedding favors combine simplicity with package design flexibility – and the contents can be suited for any occasion or wedding theme. Your guests can enjoy a pot of java on you with Coffee Wedding Favors, which are available in Classic, Heart, Floral, Fall, Winter, and Golf themes. You can also satisfy your non-coffee drinkers with single-serving Tea, Cocoa, or Cappuccino Wedding Favors. If your post-marital party will be quite “spirited,” then some Margarita or Cosmopolitan Wedding Favors might be more appropriate – just add liquor and ice to each packet for a tall glass of refreshment (lemonade Wedding Favors can be given to children and/or teetotalers)! Most of these beverage packets can be personalized or monogrammed.
Place Card Holders
There are several choices of wedding keepsakes that can double as place card holders for a reception dinner. Nautical-themed events might include "Shining Sails" Silver Place Card Holders by Kate Aspen (Set of 4), while Topiary Photo Holder/Place Card Holders by Kate Aspen (Set of 4) can each hold a photo of the bride and groom above the rich, finely-manicured green foliage which sits in a brown wooden base. If your crowd loves a nice day on the golf course, then the Golf Ball Tea Light and Unique golf Club-Shaped Place Card by Kate Aspen (Set of 4) will play nicely into the links mentality of your guest list.
Beach Theme Keepsakes
A beach destination wedding is the ultimate in relaxation for both you and your guests, and your favors can capture this mood perfectly. Start with the place card holders, where you can choose the Beachcombers Flip Flop Place Card Holders by Kate Aspen or the “Shells by the Sea" - Authentic Shell Place Card Holders (Set of 6). Then dress up the reception tables with Seaside Tea Light Candle Sets by Kate Aspen, which feature shells and starfish designs in each set of four candles. For a final touch, distribute Natural Miniature Woven Beach Bags (6/Pk) around the wedding area. These two-inch tall bags can stand alone as decorations or be used as favor baskets which can hold flowers, seeds, or shells.
Garden Themed Favors
More and more weddings are opting for a “back-to-nature” motif. For these events, the two-inch tall Miniature Metal Watering Cans (12/Pk) can be filled with flowers or seeds or given out as individual keepsakes. Miniature Natural Birds Nests (12/Pk) are perfect as napkin holders, especially when filled with eggshell-colored mints. Finally, the Miniature Wooden Birdhouses (Set of 4) are individually-designed, but each three-inch by five-inch piece features a heart-shaped opening with a “Love Nest” sign above it.
There are plenty of choices for people who want to emphasize fun and informality over pomp and circumstance on the day they tie the knot. Selecting the appropriate wedding favors for such an event will help your guests remember both the event and the accompanying tone of the festivities. Not only will your loved ones recall how they enjoyed your wedding celebration, they will also know that you and your new spouse will always be up for a good time for years to come!
