Consider the customized ornament. Many Christmas ornaments incorporate hearts, or perhaps you are already using the snowflake or another Christmas icon in your wedding theme. Add your names and the date of your wedding, and your guests will stop and remember your wedding day each year as this special ornament is placed on their trees. These lovely ornaments can be wrapped in red or green tulle and tied with plaid ribbons.
Perhaps you would like to have your guests decorate their own Christmas ornaments as part of your reception! With a special activity table complete with craft supplies, your guests can create ornaments with their own artistic flare. Children, especially, will love this option. You will treasure the photographs taken at this table as they will, no doubt, capture a little bit of the true personalities of your guests as they express themselves artistically.
If you prefer edible wedding favors, you can create miniature baskets overflowing with gourmet hot chocolate or apple cider packets. Add candy canes, Christmas cookies, and specialized bon-bons to sweeten the deal, and tie with a festive ribbon!
Christmas music CDs make fun and inspiring Christmas wedding favors. They can be purchased as already produced classical collections or they can be personalized with photographs. Add dedications and thank-yous to the CDs for a moving and specialized touch.
For more traditional gifts, there are poinsettias, Christmas candles, or miniature wreaths. Wreaths can be purchased at a local craft store and decorated and personalized with tiny pine cones, ribbons, flowers, candy canes, etc. They will make charming holiday decorations for years to come.
Christmas recipe books are another useful and whimsical way to say thank you to your guests. With a small yet personalized note inscribed in the front cover, you will be sending your guests off with something both useful and sentimental.
Presentation of favors is just as important as the actual mementos. Guests will long remember receiving their Christmas wedding favors by none other than Santa Claus himself! As the band plays, "Santa Claus is Coming To Town", your guests will delight in an original appearance. If Santa Claus does make a guest appearance at your wedding, be sure to photograph the children with him.
Christmas wedding favors can also be distributed during a Christmas Carol sing-along. This is a wonderful activity for a Christmas-themed wedding and a lovely time to include a flower girl or ring bearer. The children will enjoy their status as they distribute gifts while your guests are singing the classic carols together.
Christmas wedding favors combine the charm of Christmas with the beauty of your wedding to create lovely trinkets of gratitude.
