If there is one day in your life that can truly be yours, it is your wedding day. Oh, wait. It will be your day and that of your beloved person but since you will be one on that day, it still is your day. And how best to express yourself on your most special of days than through personalized favors, right?
And don t think either that only weddings are great for personalized favors. Even your birthdays are excellent occasions to show off your individuality, too!
Describe Your Personalities
You are a unique person. There might be millions sharing your genes, hair and eye colors, first and family names, but there is only one YOU and that s you. So, why go for favors that have other people s stamp of approval, mark of personality and quirkiness of habits on them? Besides, your parents have done the choosing for you when you were but a wee infant and it s time that you make your own decisions.
So, assert who and what you are through personalized favors! If you have a romantic nature, then favors with hearts and ribbons on them ought to tell your guests of this fact. (Think chocolates, candies and compact discs wrapped in cute containers) Or if you are a practical person, then favors with utilitarian use will be great gifts. (Think kitchen gadgets and living room accessories) Or if you are a fun person, then quirky gifts is the order of the day. (Think child themed accessories with a decidedly adult bend)
Of course, most of your guests will know something about you. That does not mean that you can t surprise them! You can provide personalized favors that speak of a hidden personality within you. For example, you can have a coming out of the closet party where your favors are your favorite things while you were still a closet queen. Or king.
Evoke the Memory
Some days are just meant to be remembered and some memories are just easier to remember when you have something to hold on to. Hopefully, your wedding done in style will be one of those memories.
To make it easier walking down memory lane for both you and your guests, give personalized favors that speak of the special day that just passed. These favors may reflect your wedding motif, your personality as a couple, your desires for marriage, even your thanks for your guests attendance. Often, the important thing is that your favors will be fondly remembered as one of the nicest things your guests ever took away from your wedding.
Of course, nice has different meanings for different people. So, you have to balance what you think is nice with what you think your guests will think as nice. It s a delicate decision to make but it is possible with a little thought and imagination poured into the exercise. Just don t make the mistake of giving out favors that have a decidedly sexual bent, definitely not.
Ultimately, you should be able to elicit smiles of happiness from your guests when you hand out your personalized favors. And you have to smile back since they took the time to appreciate your favors!
