Party favors ideas for weddings

How many times have you attended a wedding party and received a figurine with the name of the bride and groom engraved on it? How many times have you lamented on where you are going to store it because you just do not have the heart to throw it away even if it is completely useless? Such is often the case with party favors for weddings. They end up in a pile of heap in the garage awaiting some form of use, except they dont have.

In recent years, people are slowly realizing the importance of giving party favors that their guests can actually use and not just display. Although a lot of people are still sticking to the figurine gift, some are already giving USBs or fans or music cds, which people can find use for. Below are some great ideas of practical party favors that your guests will surely remember you by.

1. Music CD

One of the best things that I got from a wedding that I attended once was a music cd that contained some of the favorite songs of the couple and well of course the songs that were meaningful for them. When I got home, I immediately copied the songs to my computer, well those that I lack anyway. I even discovered new songs and one even became my favorite. One of the great things about giving music cds is that people like music. This is something that they can upload to their ipods and music players. It will also not be a clutter. You can download the content and then throw the cd. If you have the budget, do it with a USB. That way, they will also be able to use the USb again for their own files.

2. Picture frames

Picture frames store memories and what better way to make them remember the event than give them something where they can put a memory of them in the party. Picture frames can also be used for their other pictures.

3. Fishes or lovebirds or plants

What a better celebration of love than to give your guests something to love. You can give them a brand new pet with a fish or a pair of lovebirds. You can also give them a plant that they can take care of. What is great about this gift is the fact that it celebrates the beauty of both love and life. It will make your guests remember you. Besides, its a great gift to give and it is definitely something that they will not consider a clutter.

Party favors for weddings do not begin and end with figurines. There are other options out there. Explore and find other things to give. But whatever you give, make sure that your guests will find it useful.

Otherwise you would have defeated your primary purpose of giving them party favors in the first place and that is to make them remember you and the special occasion in your life in the most positive of light.

Party favors that everybody will enjoy

Most of the time with any parties, we end up having to carry a party favor that will only clutter our homes. But since we have so much respect for the people whose party we attended, we do not have the heart to throw them in the trash. Instead we put them anywhere imaginable until they become eye hazards inside our homes.

This is not to say that party favors in parties are ugly. The opposite is true. Party favors are carefully chosen by the party planner to represent the mood of the party and the occasion that the guests are celebrating at that time. However, they are often useless. Among the really popular party favors that are beautiful but utterly dispensable are small figurines and magnets.

Although beauty is good, one must also remember the function. It is important that what you give people when they leave your party is something that they can use after. That way, they will remember you every time they use it. That is after all the reason for giving party favors, as a souvenir or something that will make guests remember that they have been part of the event.

Below are some ideas for party favors that people will actually be able to use.

1. Cake

One of the best things that I received when I attended a wedding is a party favor in the form of a cake. A very delicious cake at that. It was so yummy, I even asked the newlyweds where they had it baked. This is the kind of thing that you can give your guests. They will not have another clutter in their closet and they also have a full stomach.

2. Music Cd

Another brilliant idea is to give music cds as party favors. You can give a compilation of songs that will best describe the event. For the newlyweds, maybe some songs that played a great part in their lives. In a childrens birthday party, maybe a couple of your kids favorite songs or maybe even an recorded episode of his or her favorite TV show. Its cheap and its light and its not much work. Best of all, guests can store the data into their computer and throw away the cd if they so incline.

3. Perfume or cologne or any cosmetics products

Depending on what the occasion is, you can give cosmetic products that you know they will be able to use as party favors. Maybe some lip balm for the younger ones, perfume for a wedding. You can find a lot of cheap products in grocery stores. What is great about giving these products is the fact that they seem more expensive than they actually are.

Party favors need to also be functional so that guests will be able to appreciate them more. There are a lot of things that you can give that can symbolize the party without sacrificing practicality. In this time of crisis, function is actually essential.
