These days it seems that just about anything can be personalized, be it with your names and wedding date or your photograph or even both. So what are your options when it comes to personalized wedding favors?
I have to say I am not a big fan of personalized favors, such as the type that is printed up with names and dates and I find photographic versions even worse! When you think about all the personalized wedding favors you have received, how many of them are permanently on display in your house or even in use in one form or another? Not many I bet, if any at all (except perhaps those of a brother or sister which you are duty bound to have permanently nailed to your mantelpiece!)
So if like me ‘in your face’ personalized favors are not your cup of tea, then how can you best add some personalization to your wedding favors? Here are a few ideas:
Ribbon is by far the best way to add your names and wedding date to your favors without it being over the top. It gently reminds your guests of where they are and why, but they are free dispose of it if they don’t want it. You can buy it in reels consisting of several meters, which makes it cost effective too.
The simplest method of personalization is by adding personalized tags or labels to your favor packaging. You can make these yourself at home on your computer or even hand print them if you are the creative type. These are popular for adding monograms to with the wedding date in smaller writing underneath. For those who like to have keepsakes of this nature they are ideal for adding to a photo album or scrapbook.
Fridge magnets are a popular favor and many stationers offer up custom printing or even kits so you can make them up yourself. Rather than inserting a photograph of yourselves looking sickeningly happy, use the graphics or motifs from your wedding stationery or if you are good with a camera take some nice artistic shots to use instead. Another good alternative is to use them to convey your thanks in pictorial form – for instance, if you were having a beach wedding, visit the beach after the tide has gone out and when the sand is nice and flat. Using a stick (or your finger) write the words ‘thank you’ in the sand and photograph it. You will need some editing software but you can then print the picture to size and insert it into your magnet kits.
Check out craft stores for things like die cut chipboard letters which you could purchase in your initials. Some are available ready decorated whilst others are plain, ready for you to paint or decorate yourself. Whatever your choice, use a fine black pen and write your wedding date on one initial and your thank you message on the other, you can then attach them to your favors with some ribbon.
