Golden Weddings

Why wait until your 50th wedding anniversary to celebrate in golden style?

Gold looks regal when accenting an all-white palette. In the photos below, golden candelabras, chairs, chargers, and glassware add just enough color and sparkle to the room.

Gold picture frames can be used to display your table numbers or names to match your color scheme. 

Remember that your favor display is a part of the decor too. These favors are "tied" in to the color scheme with beautiful gold bows.

Registry 10

Partyspace.com has created something extra special for Philadelphia-area brides & grooms that makes their wedding gift registry a lot more interesting than toasters and bath towels. Registry10 is "The Buy Local Gift Registry" with cool gifts, charitable donations, memberships to cultural institutions, and the ability to link to your traditional registries all in one place. AND it helps keep local businesses thriving.

Another very exciting feature on Registry10... Wish Upon a Wedding Philadelphia is a registry partner. Couples can add this fabulous charity to their wedding registries and guests can make donations in their honor. Couples can also make a donation to the charity in lieu of wedding favors.

Couples are encouraged to add 10 local gifts to their registry. If you do this, please mention that you were referred to Registry10 by Always Fabulous Events. Remember the key is to help sustain local businesses *wink*.

Damask

In case you can't tell, I happen to like damask. It is a classy trend that adds more dimension to event decor than solid colors.

Here are several ways to incorporate the damask pattern:

Square Labels 78 cents each @ Wedding Things

Favor Boxes $19.49 for 25 @ Bliss Weddings Market

Pink Ribbon Favor Boxes

Designed with the symbol of hope for millions of women worldwide, this box makes a beautiful presentation for guests, and also benefits two national breast cancer charities. 10% of the net proceeds will help support women living with breast cancer, and granting wishes of terminally ill breast cancer patients. Pink ribbons lace the white top of the box, and an openwork ribbon on one side lets the pink box underneath shine through. Each favor box measures 2" square and is sold in a set of 24.

Go Pink!

In support of Breast Cancer Awareness month, I am joining many other bloggers who are turning to the Pink Side. We all hope this unified show of support will make a difference.

When you purchase this favor, 10% of the net proceeds will benefit two national charities dedicated to supporting women living with breast cancer. It's a meaningful way to honor and memorialize loved ones affected by the disease. The favor makes for a beautiful presentation at your event, and in your guests gardens. The pink ribbon is embedded with wildflower seeds and can be planted in the ground or a pot to sprout beautiful blooms. The ribbon favor measures 2.5" x 1.5" and includes a cream-colored envelope. Sold in sets of 12.

Wedding Favors

Too often, wedding favors sit on the table all night and stay there when the guests leave. I am fond of these favors because they are pretty, can coordinate with the decor, and pretty hard to leave behind.

Inexpensive Wedding Favors
(Cheap Chic Weddings.com)

Small flower arrangements at each place setting could double as wedding favors and table decorations. I have bought glass containers at thrift stores for twenty-five cents. They don't have to match. If you're using artificial flowers you could use terracotta pots.

Divinity fudge makes delicious cheap wedding favors. Wrapped up in white tulle and tied with a white ribbon it would be beautiful. Add a tag; you make yourself, with a little message like "Love is divine". Cut out the tag with scallop scissors and punch a hole for the ribbon. One warning, divinity doesn't come out well in high humidity.

Candles made in seashells are pretty for a beach wedding or any wedding for that matter. Melt some beeswax but don't get it too hot. Pour it into the shell and add a wick. Get directions at your craft store. If you live near the sea gather shells yourself. Shells can also be bought by the bag.

Regular candles are nice too for cheap wedding favors. Wrap in tulle and tie with ribbon. Stick a small flower in the ribbon.

Tree seedlings, such as citrus or any kind of tree, are something everybody would love. They will always remember your wedding with this unique wedding favor idea. Wrap the plastic pot to disguise.
Small frames for later use can also serve as place cards or to hold a message from you.

Flower seedlings or seed packets are a nice wedding favors. Wrap in anyway that is appropriate for your wedding. Tie with ribbon, raffia or paper ribbon.

Make wine glass markers from wire and beads. You can find instructions at the craft store. One is enough for a wedding party favor. Place in a small box and tie with ribbon.

Sachets made from lavender. Make a small bag from lace. Sew up three sides, put the lavender in and sew up fourth side. Attach a small silk flower. Potpourris in drawstring bags made of lace or tulle are pretty. They smell nice too. You can use any kind of bag that's easy for you to make.

Everybody loves herbs. Buy small ones and place plastic container right into a small terracotta pot. Put some moss around the top to disguise the plastic planter. Include a pretty tag with instructions for care and attach to a ribbon tied around the pot.

A strawberry plant is another live wedding favor idea. It can be presented in the same way as an herb. Anything of this nature that is in season is appreciated.

Candies, such as M&Ms in your wedding colors, Kisses or Hugs, mints, a wonderful piece of chocolate or any kind that you would like, look great in a cupcake liner. They come in different sizes and colors.

If there is a special theme to your wedding, use anything that would carry out that theme. For example, you could use fall wedding favors for an autumn inspired reception.

Here are some ideas for candle wedding favors I hope I've given you some ideas for cheap wedding favors you can use or that will inspire you to come up with your own.
