Memorable Wedding Favors for Children and Parents
Wedding favors are an important part of the wedding experience. They are a way to express appreciation to all of your guests for taking the time to support you on your special day. A carefully chosen favor is also a great way to tie into your wedding theme. Because you are purchasing a gift for each of the guests at your wedding, price is also a consideration. If you are having a large wedding with many guests, this can add up quickly.
If you decide to invite children to your wedding you may want to choose a favor that will appeal to them in particular. Fortunately, there are so many choices available when choosing wedding favors that you can easily find something that appeals both to children and adults alike. What are some ideas for favors that are fun for children, yet special for adults?
Photo Memories
All children love to have their picture taken, and most relish the idea of having a special responsibility. Consider leaving plenty of disposable cameras lying around to capture candid shots. While this is not a new idea for weddings, to really include the children that you have as guests, make sure they, and their parents, know that they are welcome, and even encouraged, to use the cameras. Something about weddings brings out the stuffy adult in many people, so hand out cameras specifically to children, announce that you want a kids-eye view of the event, or come up with some other way to encourage the children at your wedding and reception to take pictures.
By providing cameras for the reception, you open the door for a touching favor many people love, which is a miniature photograph album. The miniature album, which will typically hold around 40 four by six pictures, is the perfect favor for children. They can put their own pictures in it, and you can send along copies of any cute candids that you get. Miniature photograph albums making a special wedding favor for both children and their parents.
Edible Favors
Kids love treats, and tiny treats are even better. Personalized mints or chocolate candies such as Hershey’s Kisses, loose or in a special tin, make a fun treat for parents and their children. In fact, many kids will get just as much enjoyment out of a small mint tin or basket as they will the candy that was inside. Most wrappers can be personalized with the bride and groom’s names, the date of the wedding and even the wedding’s color theme. Edible favors can also be certain mixes of cocoa or tea to be enjoyed after the event.
Bookmarks
If you are hosting a large reception, or your budget is tight, bookmarks are affordable and fun favors. Children, in particular, enjoy the idea of their own bookmark. Parents can utilize this favor as well. Using bookmarks engraved with scripture, line of poetry or even a simple, “Thank you for sharing the day with us,” will make children and their parents feel appreciated for attending this special occasion.
Tote Bags
Children universally seem to love to sort and pack. Loading up their treasures in a box or bag is one way that many children spend their time. Tote bags are a wonderful favor, especially if you are expecting many out of town families or are hosting a destination wedding. The tote itself makes an excellent favor, but adding information about the area, a coloring book and crayons and a bottle of bubbles can make this wedding favor a favorite for families with children.
Soaps and Bath Favors
Children love anything tiny, and the tiny soaps or bottles of shower gels that are available as wedding favors are a real treat for young children and parents alike. Many of the small containers or bars come in appealing packaging, such as small wooden boxes or tiny plastic bathtubs. An overall wedding theme can be extended into soap and bath favors, such as with a fall themed wedding. Bath favors are available in fall themes in the form of leaf-shaped soaps. These cute and practical favors are guaranteed to be popular with the guests at your party.
No matter what type of favors you choose, picking something that appeals to the children at your reception is sure to make you popular with both adults and youngsters. Many couples, even those who invite children to their wedding, present a no nonsense attitude about the wedding and reception. While it is understandable that you want your wedding and reception to be an enjoyable event, the majority of these celebrations are not geared toward children. Choosing favors which appeal to children is a wonderfully thoughtful way of letting both parent and child know that they are appreciated for attending.
