From 3arf
At first thought, a winter wedding may not appeal to some people due to snow, cold temperatures and having to bundle up just to go outside. These folks opt for the traditional warmer weather weddings and that is great! There are those daring souls who choose to have a winter wedding, complete with all the bells and whistles. Well, if you are one of those couples who are planning a winter wedding, then read on for some terrific wedding favor suggestions.
- Treetreat containers. These are cute and very functional! These little trees are available in several festive colors including green, red and blue. You can find them almost anywhere during the winter months (think around Thanksgiving/Christmas to find them even cheaper). They are made of glass and since they are see through, guests can view the yummy treats inside. One idea is layer different colored candies (choose the colors of the wedding) inside the dish and then tie a pretty ribbon around the outside of each jar. The nice thing about these little trees is that they are washable and can be reused by the guest. Talk about a gift that keeps on giving!
- Themed cookies. Buy or have cookies made in the shapes of the season:snowflakes,snowmen, evenpinetrees with some "snow" on the top. You could even go with something like polar bears or penguins. One idea is to have the cookies personalized with names or the theme of the wedding. Offer up these tasty cookies on winter themed paper plates or plastic container with lids. If you choose to use the plastic containers, be sure they are appropriately decorated with colored lids and ribbons or decals.
- Place-cardholders. These are fabulous wedding favors because they serve more than one purpose. The first thing place-card holders do is let everyone know where they are to sit, the next thing is the guests can take them home along with the card as a memento of the happy day. Some companies even make place card holders that can double asphotographholders that can hang on the Christmas tree, wall or even from the rear view mirror in their vehicle! Popular themes for winter place-card holders include snowflakes and Christmas ornaments.
- Drinkmixes. A winter theme would not be complete without some sort of hot beverage. Some popular winter drinks include hot cocoa, coffee, hot tea and cider. These are great favors because you can get the single serve packets personalized with the wedding date, names and add cute designs. When it is cold and snowy outside, these drink mixes can really warm up your guests in a fun and creative way.
- Novelty glassware. These are great wedding favors because they are simply adorable! Some novelty glassware ideas include miniature snowglobes,coastersand personalizedshotglasses.
