Themes To Cut Wedding Costs

Using Themes to Cut Wedding Costs

There's nothing like a well thought out theme to make your

wedding celebration unique and memorable for a fraction

of the cost. A wedding theme should tell your guests

something about the two of you as a couple and as

individuals because that's what makes it unique. If you

share a love for sports, maybe a sports themed wedding

would be right for you. Or maybe you met on the beach,

where you would likely want to choose a beach themed

wedding. Once you've decided on your wedding theme,

you are going to want to make sure all elements of your

wedding celebration reflect that singular theme, and that is

including the wedding favors and gifts.

If you can't think of a theme wedding favor idea, one good

way for you to start is to think about things that are

included in or that reflect the theme. For instance, if you

are having an Asian theme wedding, there are great Asian

wedding favors available all over the place including the

internet that all have Asian designs. Some of these

samples include fortune cookies, chopsticks and take-out

boxes and there are a lot of beautifully designed favors

with these designs at even dollar stores these days. Some

of my favorites are a fortune cookie place-card holder, a

silver take-out box that has the names of the couple

engraved on it.

The good news is that no matter what your theme is, you

can find wedding favors to match it as long as you think of

things that make you think of that theme. If you are having

a beach theme wedding, you may want to consider favors

with items like shells, fish, sand, and water. Look out for

designs with motifs like beach umbrellas, flip-flops etc. For

a really elegant and yet useful beach theme favor, nothing

really beats a beautiful silver dolphin-shaped bottle-opener

or a shell shaped candle accent. But if that's beyond your

budget, there are some cool and cheap wedding favors

like a shell card holder, a mini beach pail filled with candies

etc.

Here are some more great theme wedding favor ideas: if

you're having a particular flower as your wedding theme,

be on the watch for candy-holders, place-card holders,

candles, tea-lights and candy that is shaped in that

particular flower. If you're having a wedding during the

winter holidays, you may want to check out favors that

have bells and holly wreaths or maybe even some birds.

When it comes to themed wedding party favors, the trick

to making sure that your guests love their favors is to pick

ones that are elegant and in keeping with your overall

theme and yet useful. Themed weddings can always be

bought without spending an arm and a leg. All you really

need is a big imagination and a few good ideas and you

are off and running. Just have a brainstorming session and

see what pops out.
