Destination Wedding Favors Choices

These days couples are looking for ever more innovative designs for their wedding favors. The traditional gifts of almonds or chocolates in small boxes or nets are rapidly being replaced with alternatives such as mini photo frames or edible delicacies.

For many couples the option of choosing a destination wedding over a traditional affair at home is all too tempting. For some it provides a cheaper alternative whilst for others it offers the chance to combine the honeymoon as well. There is a growing trend towards destination weddings & wedding favor manufacturers have responded with a growing number of themed wedding favors with destination weddings in mind.

So what choices can you expect to find for destination wedding favors? Here are some ideas:
* Beach themed photo frames, bottle stoppers, small ornaments & candles.
* Chrome plated luggage tags shaped like ships or airplanes.
* Novel boxes for confectionary shaped like palm trees, flip-flops & wheeled suitcases.
* Other more elegant favors include soaps, wooden or paper fans & silver place card holders.

Sea-shells are key feature of beach themed wedding favors, which are the most common type for destination wedding favors as many weddings will take place on the beach. Other designs include nautical themes, palm trees, sandals, parasols & cocktails.

For something a little more novel & unique try putting together a ‘message in a bottle’. Write a poem or personal message to your guests, roll it up like a scroll & tie with some raffia, then place it in a glass bottle with a cork stopper.

Or create some sand art in miniature bottles. Visit your local craft store & get some different colored sand which you can layer up in the bottles. Finish them with a little personalized tag tied around the neck. If your budget will stretch to it you can purchase ready made versions with little pictures in the sand.

Whatever you’re inclination for wedding favors for a destination wedding, you will find plenty of choices in online stores whatever your budget. But do take into consideration how they will travel if you are taking them with you. Be careful of delicate & breakable items as you could find them smashed to pieces by the time you arrive. Edible items should also be approached with caution. Chocolates will melt in a hot climate & you may not be able to fit them all in the mini bar fridge! Iced cookies may also suffer in a humid climate.

With some imagination you can create some wonderful & unique wedding favors which will provide your guests with a lasting memory of your special day.
