The first thing to keep in mind when shopping for last minute wedding favors is that you will probably have to face the fact that personalized wedding favors will be difficult if not impossible to do in such short amount of available time. This comprises favors which take account of the names of the bride and groom as well as the wedding date such as candy bars with personalized wrappers or candle holders with a personal message. Buying these kinds of wedding favors often involve a lead time of at least a couple of weeks. This implies you will have to order the items a few weeks before you need them. If you are last minute shopping for your wedding favors you will not likely have this much time on hand. While there are lots of wedding favor distributors who will be keen on rushing the order for you, they will also probably charge you very high fees for this service. The cost of rushing the wedding favor may more than double the cost of the favor.You could also delegate the responsibility of selecting wedding favors to a friend or family member if you have too much to do in such a limited amount of time. The fact is that you have to carefully discuss your budget with the friend or family member beforehand. The person responsible for selecting the wedding favors should know precisely how much you can give to spend on wedding favors so they do not go beyond this amount. They should also have a good idea of how much you would like to spend on wedding favors if this number is less than the absolute most you are willing to spend. For instance you may have $1000 available to spend on wedding favors but you may prefer to spend only $750 if possible.
Numerous couples often have plenty of trouble when shopping for practical wedding favors since they try to get the favors purchased in only one day or they wait for the last minute to start shopping for wedding favors and realize it is too late to order some of the items they are considering or wind up spending too much per favor because they are in a hurry and do not have time to comparison shop. This can be tremendously annoying but unfortunately it happens to a lot of couples who are trying to plan their wedding. On the other hand, if couples make shopping for wedding favors a priority during the wedding planning they may find the whole experience is a lot more enjoyable. This article will offer a few tips on the subject of shopping for practical wedding favors to help couples make the most of their wedding favor budget.
Couples who are in the process of planning their wedding and neglect to shop for practical wedding favors early on in the process may find themselves scrambling at the last minute for wedding favors. This often happens as the wedding planning progresses and the couple gets caught up in other details. Time can often seem to fly by during the process of planning a wedding and the couple may keep putting off the process of shopping for wedding favors until the last minute. When this happens it can seem stressful but it is important to remember that all hope is not lost and the couple can still provide great wedding for their guests even when shopping at the last minute. This article will provide some great information on how couples can still give their guests great wedding favors even when they are shopping at the last minute.
Flowers are another great last minute wedding favor idea. If you are already planning to have floral centerpieces, your florist may be able to provide one additional flower for each guest in attendance. This is a very trouble-free gift but it is also very appropriate as a wedding favor. Flowers are often used as symbols of love so giving a favor of a flower is a brilliant idea for a wedding. It will also likely closely match the centerpieces so the wedding favors will essentially help to add to the decor at the wedding reception as well as serving as a favor for the guests.
Another factor to consider when delegating the responsibility of selecting practical wedding favors is your own personal taste and preferences. You should discuss your preferences for wedding favors with the person in charge of selecting them beforehand to ensure they will be seeking out wedding favors which you will like. One way to do this is to do a little research before delegating the responsibility. This way you can provide your friend or family member with a few favors which you like as examples of the type of favor you would like to give. This way they will have a good idea of the types of favors you are looking for and will likely select something you will think is appropriate.
If you are in need of a last minute wedding favor you can have keys made for each of your guest. You can use a ribbon to attach a note to each key informing your guests that you wish they will keep in touch through the years and that your home will always be open to them. The key you give them does not have to be an actual copy of the key to your house but can rather serve as a symbolic gesture that you will always be available if they need you.
One final thing to remember when shopping for practical wedding favors is that you should calculate all of the costs associated with the favor before deciding whether or not it will fit into your budget. There may be a base price for the item but there may be additional charges for personalization and costs associated with wrapping the favors. Even if you are wrapping the favors yourself you will still have the cost of wrapping paper, tape, ribbons and any other accessories you use to adorn the favors. Have the distributor give you the total cost for the favors including personalization and shipping before making your purchase. This will help to steer clear of misunderstandings about how much the favors will cost.
