5 Trendy Options for Winter Wedding Favors

By Aaron Hu

This winter the new trend is offseason weddings. These are ceremonies and receptions held well after the peak months of the wedding season in spring and summer. This has many advantages. For one, brides will be able to choose from a wider selection of indoor venues for cheaper prices. Many of the other decorations and wedding planning materials will also be much more affordable. They have the added advantage of the beauty of the major holiday season as a backdrop. Many people would be quick to point out the downside such as a smaller selection of flowers and no outdoor locations. However these are almost inconsequential. The best part of a winter themed wedding are the favors. When the choices are well thought out it can be a second Christmas for guests. Here are some great ideas to help you choose items and favors for your winter wedding favors.

Place card holders are normally the items that help guide attendees to their seating at the reception that occurs after you exchange vows with your future husband. However, they can also be great wedding favors. A great suggestion is to make the wedding favors pop with motifs of winter or holiday flowers such as Poinsettias. You can use placecards that invoke the imagery of winter with bucolic winter seasons or beautiful snowflake designs. A well designed place card holder can acts as an additional guest gift along with the wedding favors that you are already giving out.

Candles are great winter guest gifts. They not only provide light and warmth but they can also be personalized and customized to give your guests something amazing and extraordinary. A perfect example is snowflake gel candles. These items are made of a special clear gel wax which will refract candle light in amazing ways. In addition the center of each candle has a beautiful snowflake suspending looking like a trued snow flake caught in the moment of its descent through the skies.

Wine bottle sets are another great option. Everyone needs utensils to open and seal bottles of wine on important occasions. Theme wine bottle sets are great because they are a combination of functionality and design. A great example is the snowflake bottle openers and bottle stoppers. They will not only do their assigned tasks admirably, but also make a great conversation and give your guests in future settings to reminisce over your wonderful winter wedding.

Edible favors are another great way to go. The winter season has a variety of special sweets and foods that your guests will be sure to enjoy. For example you can give themed candies and chocolates as a sweet accent on your special day. You can also go with mixes of traditional and popular winter hot drinks such as tea, coffee, hot cocoa and even apple cider. These are great items to give because they provide something that teases the senses with their smell and taste. They can also be personalized whether it is the shape of a cookie or the design of the packet or teabag.

Finally, there are spa gifts. These are simple and affordable items that are reproductions of popular items that guest will normally enjoy at a spa. One great example are snow cone bath salts. They are quite cost friendly and still can help make bath time a relaxing and soothing moment for your guests. - 30544
