While giving wedding favors to one’s guests as a “Thank you” gift is not a requirement per se’, it has come to be expected as part of the reception. Couples usually choose some small, inexpensive gift items to match the dcor of the wedding and make good keepsakes to remind the guests of the event and the happiness shared with the couple. It is customary to have at least one of the wedding favors given be personalized with the names of the bride and groom along with the wedding date.

Giving wedding favors may be expected, but some couples like to change things up and do the unexpected. Many couples enjoy surprising their guests with unique wedding favors of a type they never would have expected to see at such an occasion. Two interesting examples of unique wedding favors would be, a set of salt and pepper shakers in the shape of apples in a box with the caption, “Apple of my Eye” or a wine set which consists of a corkscrew and a bottle stopper mounted on a card so that one represents the bride and the other the groom.

Unique wedding favors make perfect keepsake items to remind the guests of your wedding in particular because they are so different from the items given out at almost every wedding one attends in a lifetime. Unlike the usual run of wedding favors, unique wedding favors form a one of a kind link in the minds of the people who receive them without them having to sort through the memories of other weddings attended to determine the origin of this item.

After all, this is the reason wedding favors are given out in the first place. The intent is to say “Thank you” to the guests in a manner more meaningful than simply sending out “Thank you” cards would do, give the guests an item they will enjoy receiving, and remind the guests of this particular occasion whenever they are looked at or used. Personalized wedding favors are great for this, but the most commonly personalized wedding favor is a nice pen with the names of the bride and groom on it along with the wedding date.

Whether the couple chooses to have unique wedding favors personalized or not, they will form a definite link in the minds of the recipients because they are so unexpected. If one wishes to form the strongest link possible between the gift and the event, have a unique wedding favor personalized. This can be done in different manners, even. Instead of putting the couple’s names and wedding date on the items as is done with most wedding favors, it would be just as easy to put the couple’s initials on them or have them personalized to the person receiving them with their names or initials.

Regardless of how a couple chooses their wedding favors to thank their guests, unique wedding favors rate some consideration. These items can add much to the party by simple virtue of the fact they are different from the norm and surprise the guests.
