Elegant Shower Favors

This past summer,  on my 25th birthday my sweatheart surprised me with an engagement ring. We are both so excited and are really looking forward to planning our lives together as husband and wife. As soon as we were engaged we starting calling our friends and family to tell them the great news and to ask our friends to stand up for our wedding.

That night , I spoke to 3 of my girl friends and  asked them to be  bridesmaid’s. All of my future bridesmaids love the idea of a Winter Themed Wedding. 

My bridesmaids  got together with my finance and I  the next day for breakfast and helped us to start planning our winter wedding. I wanted an Elegant Wedding and my fiance wanted an Elegant and “Affordable” Wedding. We checked several online stores for ideas and inspiration and we found an online store called Elegant Shower Favors that had just about everything we will need for our wedding reception and even for my bridal shower. They had just what we needed -from winter themed placecard holders, to disposable cameras, to guest sign in book, to snowflake themed favors & gifts, to gifts for our bridesmaids, groomsmen, ring bearer and flower girl. And Beleive it or not they even had affordable gifts that my finance and I would like to have on our wedding registry- like a personalized beverage cooler, engraved barware, engraved flower vases and so much more. We are so excited that we found this site and wanted to tell everyone that we have spoken to the owners and they are going to give us combined discounts because we are ordering all of our favors, cameras and reception hall accessories from them-they will even ship it all to us free of charge… My finance is very happy too! Especially with how affordable everything is and the fact that we are getting an additional discount and free shipping since our order will be over $100.

I wanted to tell other engaged couples  about this site because we are so relieved that we do not have to get stressed over looking anywhere else for everything we will need for our reception or for gifts for our wedding attendants.  Elegant Shower Favors is  like a “one stop shop” for your bridal shower, and wedding needs and everyone should check it out before searching all over the internent for favors, gifts and accessories,for your wedding  because if  Elegant Shower Favors does not have what you need, then they will do their best to find it for you. 

Before purchasing wedding favors, consider the location, style, and theme of your wedding. A formal affair in a hotel will require a more elegant gift, while home-baked cookies might be right at home for a casual backyard wedding.Decide on an “at the table” or “on the way out” location for your favors. If favors are large or colorful, placing them on the reception tables can take up precious table space or be distracting during the meal. Instead, many brides opt to place large trays (or a table) of favors in a hall or foyer where guests will exit. A tasteful sign — “Please take one favor per guest with our compliments and thanks!” — will let reluctant guests know that it’s okay to pick up the gifts.

For outside weddings in warm climates, you’ll need to avoid favors that could melt (chocolates, frosted cookies, etc.), unless these are placed in an air-conditioned space for pick-up as guests leave the reception.

Food favors will most certainly always be a favorite with guests, yet foods require special handling. Cookies, cakes, and other fresh foods will need to be packaged at the last minute to retain freshness; chocolates and candies may require cool temperatures.

Try bundling favors with multiple items that contribute to a prominent wedding theme, such as: Garden Theme — tulip bulbs, heart-shaped vase, decorated flower cookie; Tea Theme — white mug, tea bags, crystallized sugar; Beach Theme — shell-shaped chocolates in a miniature beach chair, with a pair of sunglasses.

Do take into account the age and gender of your guests. While women might love a silk pillow sachet favor, most men won’t relate — meaning you may be stuck with dozens of favors “left behind” at the reception.

When wrapping your favors, personalized stickers and ribbons are a lovely touch, but these are items that will be thrown away.

Beach wedding favors are more than just a good idea, they’re a necessity if you plan to be married anywhere near, or even on a beach!

The Biggest day of your life just found an appropriate home.  Tropical flowers of every color surround your wedding party. Sea turtles swim in surrounding ponds while birds sing in the trees around your pristine reception site. The food is exquisite, prompting a flood of complements. Now just imagine the honeymoon.

Whether you’re walking down the aisle or spending some much deserved time together as man and wife, Hawaii’s Big Island offers a multitude of accommodations and services to make sure the biggest moments of your life receive the exceptional treatment they deserve.
