There are a lot of factors in play when it comes to choosing the right wedding reception favors for your wedding guests. A large part of where to start revolves around your budget. How much money do you have to spend on wedding favors? Once you have narrowed down your allotted budget, it is time to think about your theme and things that would complement the mood you are going for. Many couples choose things they love as favors or items that have meaning to them. Other couples want their guest to be able to take home a tasty treat or engraved souvenir to remember the night by. Here are three unique wedding favor ideas that might be great for your wedding reception!

USE NATURE

I love when couples use parts of nature for their wedding favors. These gifts could be seeds for guests to plant when they get home or another wonderful wedding favor idea is local honey in an engraved jar. Both of these favors last beyond the night of the reception and give a little something back to your wedding guests.

SOMETHING THEY WILL REUSE

There is something about cute love centered items from weddings that guests can actually use when they get one. One unique example of this would be measuring cups or measuring spoons. I have seen the cutest personalized notes that accent these favors perfectly and they can be used over and over again by your guests.

TASTES DIVINE

Wedding favors are a great place to showcase that delicious treat that you and your fiance love. I have seen the most beautiful gold dusted Macaroons or individually wrapped Eclairs. Whatever sweet speaks to you, individually wrap it and display it on your wedding favor table for you guests to enjoy on their way home! I bet it doesn't even make it passed the parking lot!

No matter what you choose as your wedding favor, your guests are going to love it. Make sure you pick something that represents you and your fiance as a couple and thanks your guests for attending your wedding festivities!
