By Andrea Britt

With weddings become more and more glamorous and elaborate, brides are coming up with new and unique ways to give their wedding favors flare. Presentation and packaging can enhance the appeal of unique wedding favors multifold. Sometimes, the way a wedding favor is presented is what makes a wedding favor really unique and memorable.


Here are some ideas for presenting your wedding favors in a stylish way.

The bride can carry a beautifully decorated basket full of long stemmed red rose candles. During the reception she can mingle with all the guests and pass out the unique wedding favors herself to each guest. Not only will she get the thrill of seeing the delight on the faces of her guests, but also she will feel like a Princess giving away wedding favors on her big day.

Another idea for creating unique wedding favors is a take-off on Dayna Devon’s (of ‘Extra’ fame) idea of hanging velveteen cones trimmed with satin and filled with rose petals on the chair of each guest. You can create beautiful satin or organza pouches and trim them with antique lace or rope. Fill the pouches with rice or birdseed, which the guests can shower on the couple when they leave. Hang the unique wedding favors on the chairs, ala’ Devon and be the season’s most talked about bride!

An absolutely fantastic idea for unique wedding favors presentation involves the wedding cake. If you can afford it, plan to have a mini wedding cake for each table and one grand wedding cake for the couple to cut. Then put personalized silver mini cake server sets at each place setting. When the couple cuts the wedding cake, all the guests get to cut the cake on their table. It is great fun for everyone present and of course the guests get to take home the unique wedding favors.

You could create air fresheners or potpourri and hang it in the guests’ cars. This was a unique wedding favor idea John and Rebecca Stamos used at their celebrity wedding. If your wedding reception has valets, have them put one in each car as they park them.

Another great way to distribute unique wedding favors is to decorate the favors or place them on a center table in beautiful baskets or arranged in a fun design. Put a card inviting each guest to take one favor. This can be a part of your wedding decoration. Place one unique wedding favor for each guest, as well as for children. Also include a few extras in case of damage or double dipping.


Wedding favors can really be something special. Just put a bit of yourself into the presentation and you will have a hit your guests will talk about for a long time to come.
