Planning a wedding can be fun, stressful, but fun at the same time and one of the more interesting aspects is organizing the wedding favors. As a rule of thumb when organizing events, keep things simple as they have a habit of becoming complicated without any human intervention. With this in mind, it should be one less item you have to worry about for your big day because your favors might just be a phone call away.

An easy wedding favor option is flowers which really don’t take much to arrange but guests can enjoy. Fortunately, as far as the bride and groom are concerned, apart from choosing which flowers to have, there is little for them to do.

Red roses always look attractive and of course they don’t have to be wrapped like many other flowers. Using a single rose per guest gives an appearance of style and placing them can be left to staff immediately prior to the wedding reception commencing so they look very fresh.

Unfortunately flowers do no appeal to everyone, but with three in every four receptions using candy, this is an easy wedding favor that will. If you prefer, there is an even easier method to give candy which can also save money at the same time. This just needs a large quantity of various candies placed in a large bowl on the middle of the table.

All you need to do after this is arrange for each wedding guest to have a small box where they can place their candy. This really is easy because each guest can choose whatever candy they like and there isn’t a single piece of wrapping in sight.

An alternative to using candy is a picture frame which can double up as a place holder just for the occasion. Although presentation is everything, there are ways around wrapping wedding favors and picture frames are an ideal example of how you can avoid this task. By using the picture frames as placeholders provides a way around this, making it a gift that does not need to be wrapped.

For those of you that like an easy wedding favor that is a little different then why not use a local photographer, you can have each guest pose for a shot which can be presented to them at the wedding reception. If he brings along a printer you can distribute the photos before your guests begin to leave the reception. Everyone will appreciate this wedding favor as it is a reminder they can cherish for many years. Many photographers will also have a projector so could arrange a looping slide show of all the photos he had taken of the guests.
