Are Expensive Wedding Favors A Waste Of Money?

By Bart Forcey


Passing the luck onto your wedding guests with elegant wedding favours is a complementary way of acknowledging the ancient Roman tradition that demonstrate your appreciation towards your wedding guests.

An example of traditional yet very elegant wedding favors are the five different metallic colored Jordan almonds wrapped in a circle of shining organza and tied together with a thin ivory colored satin ribbon. Tradition has it that the almonds are used to symbolize the bittersweet of married life. Each of the almonds represents one of each of the blessings to the couple, which are long life, happiness, wealth, fertility and health.

Every individual has his or her own idea as to what elegance is. Some of the elegant wedding favors that endured the test of time are silver bottle openers. In reality, any functional gift plated in silver item with your names and wedding date engraved on provides to be an elegant wedding favor.

Silver plated pictures frames and place card holders along with bottle openers, letter openers, coasters and wine stoppers along with stainless steel key chains engraved with details of the wedding will always fall within the more elegant category as compared to many other wedding favors.

Having elegant wedding favors does not necessarily mean you have style or good taste. Especially if the elegant wedding favors you present do not match the style or theme of the wedding and even worse, can not relate to your own personality! Instead, focus on the style of elegance you want to incorporate with your wedding favors instead of opting for the most expensive favor your budget allows that relate to you personally and the style of your wedding.

A metal seashell shape bookmark is an elegant favor without the glitz and glamour of silver for your beach wedding and can be used by anyone and reasonably priced at $2.50 each. Candles can serve very well as elegant wedding favors. Pure rolled beeswax candles are available in a wide range of sizes and the size will determine the price.

To save you a lot of stress and worry, make sure you order your elegant wedding favors well in advance. By placing your order well in advance you can rest assured that the symbols of gratitude will arrive well before it is time to them hand out and add to the elegance of your special day.
