# 1 - Creative Ideas
- This is the tough
topic because the creativity comes from you! First, consider anything
special that you remember at a wedding you attended and look at bridal
magazines. Thoughts will come together to create something that's unique to you
and your sweetie. If you have a theme, then it is easier to think of fun
favors for your guests. Beach or Hawaiian themes usually provide a lei for each guest.
A country western wedding might have dried flowers with engraved ribbons for the
guests to take home. Go to a arts and craft store to see the hundreds of items
you can create. The Internet provides hundreds of creative favors and gifts
for your guests--the difficulty might be in selecting one from the many.

# 2 - Why Favors?
- Favors provide a nice memento
for your guests. Weddings held in the 16th century included giving
favors to their guests; of course, those were reserved for the wealthy folk only-
-royalty, that is. Today, there is a wide selection of favors for your guests,
from low cost to richly-priced. Many favors can be ordered from your stationery store where you purchased your invitations or on the Internet.
The best gifts are those that represent something about you. Maybe you are tennis or golf fans, or
love dolphins, or chocolate. Then find a gift that resembles your likes and have it engraved or add
a ribbon with your names and wedding date and a note of thanks. Add humor if it is fitting. Your
creativeness is ready to show itself.
Remember, this is just a token of thanks to your guests for sharing their day with you.
If you are on a tight budget, then a simple dish of covered almonds on the table next to a thank
you note from you is just fine.

# 3 - Personalized Chocolate Candy Bars
- There may not be enough of these to give away! Great looking personalized labels with your photo, names and wedding date on the cover of a chocolate bar.
# 4 - Personalized Wine Bottles - Find a company that places
personal labels on wine bottles. You can include the Bride and Groom’s names, wedding
date, and maybe a photo or image of your liking. Or have the bottles delivered to the
hotel for your out-of-town guests.
# 5 - Personalized CDs - Brides and Grooms are putting together CDs as
favors for their guests, produced by professional companies. They have a personal greeting and
thanks for you to view in the comfort of your home.
# 6 - Personalized Playing Cards - These playing cards are customized with a photo of you and your sweetie, your names and your wedding date. The cards are professionally create and contains a full deck.
# 7 - Personalized Baskets for Out-of-Town Guests - What a nice welcoming for your guests;
have these baskets ready for them in their hotel room or at the check-in desk. The basket will
include a personal note from you, includes how to get around town, information about any
special lunches or dinners, tickets for a show, snacks and photos -- anything will be
appreciated. A company we found makes personalized hotel key cards with the bride and
groom's name and a local map.
# 8 - Rent 4-Photo Booth- This is definitely a party pleaser!
Rent a photobooth at your wedding, have your guests take the 4-photos and they are placed
in a scrap book for you.
