wedding favor organza bags

Guest Favors and Wedding Table Centerpieces are both beautiful additions to a wedding reception that the bride loves to arrange and the guests love to enjoy. However, both favors and centerpieces don't come cheap and very often these are the little details that have to be abandoned when organising a budget wedding. Now we have discovered the perfect solution, you can provide each of your guests with a favor to take home and treasure your special day, whilst doubling them up as your wedding table centerpieces - saving yourself a fortune on elaborate floral centerpieces; continue reading to find out how.

Wedding table centerpieces do not have to be elaborate and over-the-top, very often simple and elegant is even more effective. Cupcakes are now a very fashionable wedding favor, which are usually given to guests in little card boxes. To turn these favors into a centerpiece you could write the guest names on each of the boxes, then pile them up decoratively on a charger plate and place in the centre of the table as an alternative table decoration. To enhance the look of the centerpiece you could strategically place a few flowers in amongst the boxes or scatter some petals around the edge of the plate.

Fruits make a beautiful centerpiece and although not traditionally used as a favor, it promotes health and wellbeing and after a big meal many people delight in the taste of a piece of fresh organic fruit.

A very unique suggestion would be to buy your guests miniature photoframes and put a small photograph in each one, the photo could be of the guest, the bride and groom, or a lovely touch would be photographs of brides in your family throughout the generations, as far back as you can go. You can then arrange these photoframes as a table centerpiece, guaranteed to be a talking point if nothing else.

An Italian tradition which has spread throughout the world, is to give your guests a small bag of sugared almonds to take away with them. Nowadays dragees are a very classy alternative, which come in many pretty colours including gold, silver and bronze. These could be tied into pretty organza bags and piled with ribbons and feathers in a romantic table centerpiece or you could arrange them in bowls with diamonds and confetti scattered on the tablecloth and some pretty tealights casting a romantic light onto them.

Piling your favors up into a centerpiece can be really effective no matter what they are, as long as you include a few of the following elements to complete the transformation; fresh or fabric petals, confetti, scattered diamonds, shells, ribbons, feathers, fresh or silk flowers, dragees and/or candles.

Transforming your wedding favors into stunning wedding table centerpieces only takes a little creative thought and determination. It is a great money saver and can add a fun personal touch to the proceedings.

One thing that makes weddings really fun is that no two are exactly the same. The most memorable weddings are those which include unique or offbeat details which help to showcase the personality of the bride and groom. With that idea in mind, here are some cute and quirky wedding ideas to inspire you for your own wedding celebration.

Every wedding shares many elements in common, but that is no reason that you have to do them in the expected way. Most brides will give their attendants bridesmaid jewelry, but instead of giving each girl an identical set, why not have custom bridesmaid jewelry made with unique variations for each attendant? What a simple way to show each of your bridesmaids that you see her as an individual, not just as part of a matched set.

Your wedding favors are a great place to try something a little different. No matter how traditional the wedding, it is always okay to go out on a limb with the favors. At one wedding I attended in a mountain resort, the newlyweds gave pens from the resort as their favor; not just any pens, but the retro kind filled with liquid and a moving scene. To dress them up, they handmade special clear triangular tubes which fit the gifts to a "t". It made a nice presentation for favors which were inexpensive, but also fun, unique, and enjoyed by all the guests.

Re-purposing items can be a wonderful way to decorate your wedding in an unexpected way. Why not use a vintage dresser to hold your escort cards instead of the standard table with a white cloth over it? This makes a fun diy project for the creative bride, as you can refinish a thrift shop find by sanding it and painting it in your wedding colors. It looks particularly funky and fun when the piece of furniture is used for an outdoor wedding. This idea can be applied to any place you need furniture for your wedding, not just the escort card table. Best of all, at the end of the day, you will have a great new table or dresser for your new home.

Centerpieces are one of the main forms of decorations for most wedding receptions. Flowers are always gorgeous, of course, but blossoms in a vase do not always look so original. Think of new ways to display your flowers, like putting them under a sheet of Plexiglass on the table or inside clear boxes. Or skip the flowers altogether and design centerpieces around something that is near to your heart.

Book lovers can stack up piles of their favorite classic stories (pick up vintage hardcover versions in second hand shops) and top with a ribbon or a few loose cut flowers. Or maybe you are headed to Paris for your honeymoon. Attractive Eiffel Tower replicas would look marvelous as centerpieces. Almost anything goes, as long as it looks stylish or beautiful. Allow your mind to wander and your creative juices to flow, and before you know it, you will have planned a wedding which is quirky, fun, and entirely you.

The "With This Ring" Engagement Ring Keychain is especially suitable for all the female guests attending a wedding ceremony or as a unique wedding favor for female guests of the reception.

The crystal on the ring that represents the diamond is of excellent quality and very much resembles the real thing. It will impress any person who receives this wedding favor. The gift box is also appropriate to decorate a wedding reception table with and it is in a showcase gift box packaging and is topped off by a bow and matching tag. The tag allows the name of the recipient to be written on it and so it can also be used as a place holder too.

In most cases, the centerpieces will vary according to not only the type of party you are having, but the theme of the party, the purpose of the party, or the scale of the party. An ice swan might not be the best choice for a Blues Clues birthday party for your two-year old, and a Big Bird Cake would not be the best choice for a formal wedding. Still, centerpieces can make a statement about the occasion, and the care to which you have gone, in planning the perfect party.

While beautifully detailed cakes and champagne fountains at weddings, or elegant celebrations are usually best left to professionals, there are a huge variety of centerpieces you can make yourself to give your party that special touch! A simple watering can full of daisies can make the perfect centerpiece for a garden party. Using floral gel instead of water eliminates any concerns over spilling, and the guest of honor can even take the centerpiece home when the party is over. A great centerpiece for a bridal shower is a collection of towels, folded in half and rolled up. Put rolled bath towels together with white or gold wire edged ribbon tied into a bow, to form the base of a mock wedding cake. The next tier can be done the same way, but made up of fluffy hand towels, and the top layer can be wash cloths. Sprinkle with glittery foil stars, miniature seed 'pearls', or tuck in little gifts, like soaps, scented candles, or bubble baths, with the edges peeking out, and you have a beautiful centerpiece.

Baby shower centerpieces can be fun and functional. A baby bath full of punch with a rubber ducky floating in it, or a couple of bags of diapers arranged to look like a cake, scattered with pacifiers, teething rings, and other baby necessities ensure that all the little odds and ends are available when they are needed.

A beach theme birthday party can have centerpieces as simple as seashells, small sand pails (stuffed with goodies for guests to take home) or balloons stuffed with gifts, filled with helium, and secured to float just above the table. Centerpieces do not have to be expensive or complex, they just have to be fun!
