Part of wedding planning that often goes overlooked until the last minute is the requisite guest favor. Wedding favors add to the decor and theme of the wedding, and they range from inexpensive bookmarkers to sophisticated crystal or silver pieces for the bridal party, suitable for display in the recipient's home. Many times, couples prefer to give the guests something edible, such as Jordan almonds, which are available in white, silver or gold. Boxes of mints, truffles or homemade chocolates also make great favors. Packaging can be topped with pretty bows or delicate silk flowers that coordinate with your wedding colors. Prices generally range from 25 cents to over $1.50. For classy yet affordable bridesmaid gifts, the aforementioned Jordan almonds can also be made into elegant favors by placing each candy coated almond into the petal of an almond holder flower made of white netting, wire and leaves. Assembly serves as a fun project for the bridesmaids, or your can buy them whole for $1.50.

Favors can also be designed with the season of the year as a theme. Autumn weddings, for example, can call for fall leaf candles or tulip bulbs wrapped in a sheet of tulle and tied with ribbon. Winter favors can feature holiday ornaments, pine or cinnamon scented potpourri or silver bells. Any favor can be personalized with a unique thank you note or a short poem printed on a small card.
