Personalized wedding favors are a popular choice with many brides particularly those who are looking to add a unique and personal touch to their favors.

Creating personalized favors is not as difficult as you may think or as expensive. Favor stores now offer a wide range of wedding favors which can be personalized, along with a range of packaging which can be personalized also.

If you are looking to add personalized favors to your wedding, the here are a few ideas to consider:

Usually you consider personalization to be the printing of your names and wedding date onto an item, however, simply adding your photograph makes them personalized too. Look out for photograph frames, coasters which allow you to add a photograph and fridge magnets also.

Packaging is one of the easiest and least expensive ways of adding personalization to your wedding favors. Sachets of gourmet coffee or tea can be presented in personalized packets and most favor stores will offer you a choice of designs so you can easily coordinate them to your wedding.

Other items with personalized packaging include:

• Chocolate bars with printed wrappers

• Foiled wrapped chocolate or candy coins

• Sachets of hot chocolate

• Cocktail mixes

• Labels for bottles or jars

• Mint tins

Printed ribbon is one of the most popular ways of adding personalization to your favors. It is also one of the most cost effective ways as you can buy it in reels for a bulk purchase price. I personally think this is the best way to add that personalized touch to your favors as adding you names and wedding date to every element of your favors can be slightly over the top!

You can also have custom stickers or labels printed with your names and wedding date and which can also be designed to coordinate with your wedding stationery or some other element of your wedding. If you are the creative type you can easily print these at home.

Other personalized wedding favor ideas include M & M’s printed with your initials, visit the M & M’s website for more details on this. Have custom cookies made and iced with your names and wedding date or if you budget will allow have mini cakes or cupcakes made with sugar craft initials on top.

Just about anything can be personalized in some form or another these days, for you it is about finding the perfect way to personalize your wedding favors whilst ensuring they are still in keeping with your wedding style and theme.
