Spring Wedding Favor Ideas
Many couples choose spring as the perfect season for their big day.
Springtime is a time of romance, renewal and new beginnings. With
the temperate weather and newly blooming flowers, there's no doubt
that spring is a great time to tie the knot. If you're in the
process of planning your spring wedding, you've likely got your
hands full with all kinds of details. You'll need to find the
perfect location, choose the dress of your dreams, figure out the
menu and deal with the invitations. Not only that, but you'll also
need to come up with fun wedding favors to give your guests as a
token of appreciation for their attendance.
Rice used to be a popular wedding favor, as it was traditionally
thrown at the departing couple after the ceremony and reception.
However, after it was discovered that rice can harm the birds that
eat it, this tradition quickly went out of style. Try giving your
guests tulle-wrapped bundles of birdseed to toss instead. This keeps
the tradition of tossing grain alive, but is safe for our feathered
friends. It's easy to create these bird-friendly bundles. Simply
place a small pile of birdseed on a tulle square, shape into a pouch
and tie with a pretty ribbon. Bubbles are another popular wedding
favor. Imagine departing for your honeymoon in the midst of
beautiful floating bubbles. It's fun for guests and even more
romantic than the birdseed! You may want to give adults birdseed and
younger guests blowing bubbles to take advantage of both traditions.
Practical gifts for guests are always a good choice. Try giving your
guests seed packets as a way to celebrate springtime. They can plant
their seeds as a celebration of your wedding. Sweet treats are also
a popular choice. Miniature boxes of chocolates or strawberry
cream-filled chocolate truffles wrapped in pretty foil are delicious
and attractive wedding favors. Or, try placing a few individually
wrapped herbal tea bags in a tulle bundle for a soothing treat.
You could choose wedding favors that celebrate some of spring's most
beloved critters. For example, try handing out colorful butterfly
refrigerator magnets or a miniature birdhouse. If your wedding is
close to Easter, chocolate bunnies and marshmallow chicks are cute
spring treats. As you can see, there are a variety of creative
choices when it comes to favors that reflect the springtime season
and celebrate your wedding day!
