Cool Winter Wedding Favors to Warm Their Hearts


For me, it’s all about the snow. Yes, I know there are many parts of the country that get little or no snow during the winter. I live in a place that rarely sees more than a day or two of snow (no blizzards, no sleigh-ready accumulation) in any given year, which probably explains why I love snow so much. It makes everything look beautiful (until people start driving on it.)

It also explains why the wonderful winter wedding favors I’m about to show you all center on snow. I had a winter wedding without snow, so wedding favors were a terrific way to incorporate the most symbolic icon of the season into the festivities. Here are my five favorites:

Snowflake Bottle Stopper—I like this one because, as you can see from the photo, it’s a heartwarming winter favor that’s specifically made for a product that warms everything else in a person. So I’m thinking it’s pretty likely every guest will find a use for it at home. When you visit them next winter, you can feel confident they’ll have a little something to warm you up, too!

Snowflake Bookmark—A practical gift that reminds me of one of the great joys of wintertime—curling up in a comfy chair with the latest best seller next to a roaring fire, a cup of hot chocolate on the table beside you and snow falling silently out your window. The bookmark, accented with an elegant ice-blue tassel, also shows your guests you give them credit for expanding their horizons by reading.

Snowflake Favor Box—You simply can’t go wrong giving your guests more food, especially sweets. Fill these snowflake-shaped favor boxes with M&Ms, jelly beans, Jordan almonds, cinnamon hearts or whatever. Most of the favor boxes won’t make it to the car after your wedding. The goodies will be eaten sometime before the end of the event. That’s why dancing is so popular at weddings—so people can work off some of the sweets they’ve eaten.

Snowflake CoastersWell, you have to have someplace to put down your drink when you visit the home of one of your wedding guests later on in the winter, right? This is a good time to talk about mixing and matching your wedding favors. Bottle stoppers and coasters go together well, so you can alternate favors at the table settings. Both of these will sprinkle “snow” on the tabletops, adding an element of seasonal décor.

“Snow Flurry” Ornament Place Card/Photo HolderSnowflakes outside, snowflakes inside and a holiday decoration all around! This clear-glass cutie can be used as a place card holder, a photo holder and an ornament to hang on the tree at home. If your wedding is before Christmas or on Christmas eve itself, you might choose to have a decorated, beautifully lit tree as part of your reception décor. Fill the tree with enough of these winter favor ornaments to have one for each guest and invite them all to grab one to take home at the end of your event.

A brrrrrrrrrilliant idea, don’t you think!

1. Trim Your Wedding Guest List

Keep your wedding intimate by having a small guest list of your closest relatives and friends. It is the fact that each time your add a name to the invitation list, your budget on catering costs, extra centerpieces, favors, rentals, etc. will significantly increases.

2. Save Postage on Wedding Invitations


Utilize the software programs and wedding invitation paper available to make your own invitations, which could also be unique and great to speak of your personality. If you prefer to order them, consider getting the invitations thermo graphed instead of engraved. Also forgo the inner envelop and blotter paper and ask guests to reply online or by the phone rather than having a reply card.

3. Go for Sample Sales or Cheap Bridal Gowns on the Internet

Avail yourself of enough time to shop your wedding gown and seek for the best deal that meets your criteria. If a 6, 8 or 10 is your size, check for sample sales, which generally happen once a year. This is a great opportunity to get hand on a designer dress at rock-bottom prices. Online sites like eBay, Craig list and other stores online are also great places to find used wedding dresses at a fraction of the price. Besides, to rent a wedding dress is another way to save you hundreds of dollars.

4. Change the Day of Your Wedding

Plan your wedding ceremony for an “off” time such as the morning of a weekday or consider having it during the middle of winter instead of spring. Also it is also ideal to have your wedding on a weeknight or a Sunday as there is less demand for these dates and vendors will often be willing to give you a better rate.

5. Save Money on Venues

Have a home reception if possible. Look for cheap foods and drinks and keep the menu simple yet elegant by finding menu ideas in planning boots, magazines and online resources.

6 Save Expense with Do-It-Yourself

It is really a good idea to have a ‘pitch-in party,” where you ask your friends to be a special part of your wedding by helping you assemble favors and make invitations, centerpieces and other homemade inexpensive touches. Make sure there are delicious snacks and inspiring tunes on the stereo, which are important to create an aura of a party rather than part of an assembly line.

7. Invest in Wedding Planners for Ideas

This will weigh out the necessity of hiring a consultant and you will have a good wedding planner to save you money in the long run.

8. Limit the number of bridesmaids

More bridesmaids, more gifts. So do flower girls and groomsman.

9. Consider decorating with balloons instead of using just flowers.

Follow all the budget hints on wedding planning said above, it would be easy to have a cheap wedding on a budget. Along with some novel thoughts, your nuptial will be probably more personalized with low expenses. Trends for wedding now is to get your big event exudes your personality to the fullest, rather than being luxury and magnificent!
