There is one kind of wedding favor which is almost always valued by the guests at the wedding. This is an edible wedding favor. Whether you choose sweet or savory items you and your guests are expected to take pleasure in your edible wedding favors. The downside to giving an edible wedding favor is it is to be expected to be consumed soon after your wedding rather than being saved for years to come as a memento of your wedding. On the other hand, your guests will really get pleasure from the gift. This article will provide one or two ideas for edible favors you can give to your guests on your wedding day.
One of the most well-liked edible wedding favors is a simple chocolate bar with a personalized wrapper. These chocolate bars can be simple milk chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate are can be filled with items such as almonds or raisins. There are even more options available for the wrapper of the candy bar. This is very important because this is the first thing your guests will notice about your favor. Most brides and grooms opt to have their names and the dates of the wedding printed on the wrapper and select a wrapper design which relates to love, weddings or the specific theme of the wedding. Conversely, some brides and grooms may even decide to have their pictures on the wrapper along with their names and the wedding date.
Tins filled with candy are another option for brides and grooms who want to give out edible wedding favors. These tins can be filled with any type of candy you wish. They can be filled with mints, hard candies, candy coated almonds, chocolates or any other favorite candy. There is also typically the option of personalizing the tin by including the wedding date and the name of the bride and the groom. The guests may eat the candy soon after the wedding but they can keep the candy as a reminder of your wedding and use it to store other small items such as change, sewing needles, rubber bands or virtually anything which is small enough to be stored in the tins.
Candy is a very popular option when a bride and groom are considering giving edible wedding favors. One exclusive way to hand out candy as wedding favors is to use big glass bowls as the centerpieces for the tables and fill the bowls with the bride and grooms’ favorite kinds of candy. You can give each of your guests a tiny container which matches the theme of the wedding such as a sand pail for a beach themed wedding or anything else which is fitting. The guests can fill the containers with some of the candy from the centerpiece at the conclusion of the evening.
Cookies are other options for brides and grooms who want to give out edible party favors. There are a number of different options in this case. You can select cookies which are rather plain in nature but place them in keepsake boxes with the bride and grooms’ names as well as the date of the wedding. They can also give out personalized fortune cookies with each fortune depicting a quotation which is related to love. Another way to use cookies as wedding favors is to give out cookies displaying a photo of the couple. There are many bakeries that can make these cookies for you in a variety of sizes and shapes. You simply need to select a design and give the bakery a photo to use in the design process.
Cocoas, teas and coffees are still another alternative for couples who want to hand out edible wedding favors. You can choose specialty cocoas, teas or coffees or you can have the packaging custom-made to incorporate your picture, a suitable quotation, poem or other message related to loves and weddings. Putting the couple’s names as well as the wedding date on the package is a good idea as well as adding in a picture of the couple.

Several Ideas for Wedding Bouquet Activities
When a bride orders her wedding bouquet, it might not appear that any kind of "activities" will come from it other than as something for the bride to hold on to during the ceremony. But the wedding bouquet can be the resource of various interesting activities and significant gestures.
During the ceremony there are all kinds of possibilities. Indeed you can go for the traditional and have a flower for both the mother of the bride and mother of the groom. The moms, above all, are in love with this activity and guests usually are grateful for it as well. But what if you twisted that traditional gesture and supplied flowers for both the mothers and the fathers?
If the bride provides flowers to both the men and women, there is more than one way
to do this. What if dad's flower was enclosed in a verse that he will then get up and read at the ceremony? What if it was a flower to remember the members of the family who have passed, and it gives dad an opportunity to recognize those family members?
If the bride decides not to have a unity candle, but desires some gesture like it, she can have her wedding bouquet designed by having several small bouquets put together. At an appropriate time during the ceremony, the wedding bouquet is "broken up" and various people might receive a share, such as the mothers and fathers of the bride and groom.
Now, if the bride wishes to hang onto her wedding bouquet throughout the wedding ceremony, but is all set in having some fun with it at the reception, there are a small amount of options there as well. How about a dance involving the wedding bouquet? This is ridiculous, but fun. The wedding bouquet is on show someplace near the dance floor and guests must guess a flower that's in the bouquet before they can enter the dance floor. The first few guests might not have an issue guessing the right ones as some flowers are obvious, like roses and tulips, but others might get people thinking. Obviously, this won't work out if the wedding bouquet is all roses or some other particular and apparent flower but for a traditional mixed bouquet, it can work well.
For a naughty touch, the bride can hide her garter in the wedding bouquet and essentially put it on her leg before the groom takes it off. Or she can have a pair of breakaway bouquets that are wrapped in garter belts, so hers doesn't get thrown, but in its place the tiny bouquets with garter belts attached are thrown.
When the time comes for the bride to throw her bouquet, there are several alternatives. Some brides decide not to keep their bouquet and basically pluck one flower out of it before throwing the whole thing during the wedding bouquet toss. This is an opportunity of having a special wedding bouquet set aside for throwing, and there are others as well.
Are there are a lot of single women invited to the wedding? Perhaps one thrown wedding bouquet won't be enough. Numerous brides these days are going for something a little more fun. There are a few choices, in actual fact. One well-liked option is to have the florist create a number of small bouquets and then bundle them to look like one bouquet. They are tied flippantly with a ribbon. When it comes time for the bouquet toss, the bride loosens the ribbon, and throws the "bouquet" which is essentially several little bouquets. More than a few women will catch the bouquet, rather than just one.

Dance Floor Activities with the Wedding DJ
Dancing is a necessary element at most wedding receptions. We anxiously wait for the couple's "first dance" and the bride's special dance with her dad. It's also a moment to get loose and funky, if you're a guest or a member of the wedding celebration.
But what if the wedding dj planners decided to add some enjoyment and surprise to the dance floor by adding fun activities there? This doesn't mean a stirring version of the "Bunny Hop", which, while perhaps necessary, is barely unique. There are, however, many fun games and activities you can add to your dance floor activities that are sure to be a hit you just have to plan accordingly with the wedding DJ.
Try an amusing game like the "chicken dance". Perhaps that doesn't sound too original. But if nearly every one of your guests is just sitting at their tables, watching a few valiant couples dancing, or just concluding their meals, you might want to get them up and having fun. Try this game.
The wedding DJ announces a number. Everybody looks under his or her chair, where there is a number. Depending on the number of guests at the wedding, there may be only numbers "1" and "2" or more, up to 5.
So, say the wedding DJ announces number "4". Each individual checks under their chair to see what their number is. These numbers can be written basically on a piece of masking tape and attached to the underside of the chairs when the reception is being set up. Each "4" in this situation will head to the dance floor to perform the chicken dance with the other "4s". Not only does this get folks out of their chairs and on to the dance floor, they also get to know other wedding reception guests they may not otherwise know.
One dance floor activity that's becoming so popular is to bring in a dance teacher for the wedding reception. As a sort of pre-dance activity, the teacher will promptly ask to walk people through their paces on the dance floor, possibly teaching a bit of the waltz or, for something entirely different, a little bit of the tango, before the wedding DJ can officially play music and dancing starts.
Having a dance teacher do a bit of teaching not only livens up the reception right from the beginning, but it gets persons out on the dance floor who might otherwise be too self-conscious generally to get out there and let it all hang out. In other words, it will probably make the wedding guests feel more secure in their skills before the "official" dancing with the wedding DJ begins.
Yet another fun activity to get one and all on the dance floor, counting even the most uncommunicative, is something you can refer to as the "snowball" dance. This is an excellent way to get the guests dancing at the beginning of the evening.
Here's how the "snowball" dance works. The wedding party, including the bride and groom, will head to the dance floor for a fun dance. The wedding DJ should play music for this dance that is fast, something with a disco beat or a fast song that most people have at least a passing acquaintance with. After a bit of wedding party dancing, the music suddenly stops. The females of the wedding party start moving into the crowd and bring back one male each. The males of the wedding party do the same, but they bring in female guests. The dancing then starts again. This is repeated until all the guests are dancing. It's truly a snowball effect!

Original Wedding Photo Ideas
Pictures are an essential part of any wedding ceremony. Newlyweds are typically thrilled to get their pictures back from the photographer so they can revive their special day. But there are various special activities you can put together into a wedding that involves photos.
Jolly Wedding Photo Ideas
One fun wedding photo idea that numerous brides make use of is to take photos of everybody as they arrive at the wedding, virtually like you do at a high school prom or company Christmas party. You can supply a backdrop and couples can pose either for a paid photographer or for whoever turns out to pick up the camera. These pictures can be taken with a Polaroid camera for instant fun or with a disposable camera. If you want somewhat higher quality photos, go for a digital camera. This can be an outstanding way to keep guests busy and happy until the "official" reception starts with the arrival of the bride and groom.
As an addition to that wedding photo idea, you can take instant photos and create scrapbook pages or memory book pages with the photos. There can be supplies on hand so guests can create pages at the reception, or pages can be pre-made and photos simply placed into the arranged spaces. If guests don't want to create pages at the reception, or the bride doesn't wish for this particular activity going on, the photos can be saved for later. As a gift for the bride and groom, somebody can create memory books with these photos.
If Polaroid cameras are used, another option is to have the people in the wedding photo put their signature on the Polaroid photos and place them in a basket somewhere. The bride and groom will have fun looking at the photos later.
Another idea which is not particularly unique as nearly every bride and groom arrange for it to happen, is that of providing disposable cameras on each table at the reception so guests can capture candid photos of the reception together with the table guests. More than one wedding photo can be added to the newlyweds' wedding album or they can be positioned into a separate album showing the wedding from the guests' point of view.
Another fun wedding photo activity sure to be amusing is to create a "silent photo guess" area. This is how it works: before the wedding, someone close to the bride and groom pulls together pictures of the bride and groom at different stages of their lives. The photos should depict the bride and groom doing stuff, not at Christmas or with their first birthday cake. In other words, the photos should consist of some action, but it shouldn't be clear in the photo itself what has taken place or where the person is.
Greatly like a silent auction, guests will come along and look at the photos, then take an unvoiced guess as to what the photos show. They can write their guess on a piece of paper and put it in a numbered basket that matches the number on the wedding photo. Reading these guesses during the reception is surely going to be enjoyable and amusing. The bride or groom can give the real answers of course. This is a for the most part a fun activity at a comparatively small, family wedding where the participants know the bride and groom very well.
If you want to provide an area for guests to have their photos taken but aren't thrilled with the "prom night" scheme, how about having a wedding photo corner set up someplace in the reception hall or facility. Here, the wedding photographer will take open photos of the wedding guests. They might be couples, but could also be whole families, friends enjoying themselves, or the groom being carried on the shoulders by the best man. Whatever the pictures end up being taken, they provide a fun, "let it all hang out" area for the wedding guests and a surprise for the bride and groom. Given that they will likely be busy with all the reception details and having the time of THEIR lives, they might be grateful knowing that their guests had a pretty good time too, as suggested in the photos.
