▪ A popular idea is to have breakaway centerpieces, where the centerpiece is made up of several elements that come apart, each part able to be taken home by guests as wedding favors. These centerpieces are often an arrangement of flowers in several smaller vases. You can do it with packaged wedding favors, stacking the boxes in the middle and inviting guests to each take a favor before heading home.
▪ Save space on the table for the food, and instead, hang wedding favors from the chair. It is a creative way to present your wedding favors, and also dress up the reception chairs. Then use a bag with handles to package the wedding favors, or find a way to attach ribbon to the wedding favors in order to hang it on a chair.
▪ Have a wedding favors tree. Such an idea works really well with Christmas weddings. You can give ornaments as wedding favors, or something lightweight, like a bookmark, or a charm. But if a Christmas tree is out of season, get a potted tree.
Also you can make your own wedding favors with glassine bags filled with candy. You should punch holes in the bags and string them up with twine around the branches of a tree. Thus wedding guests can untie the bags at the end of the evening for a sweet memento.
