Wedding favors are an important traditional part of the American wedding. However, sometimes it seems like every couple uses the same old thing for favors. If you are hoping to have a really unique wedding, try a more creative approach. Here are some wedding favors that are a little more out of the ordinary. If you give out creative wedding favors, your guests are sure to remember your reception, a long time down the road.

It's traditional to give out chocolate wedding favors, but you can take that idea and make it your own. Personalized chocolates are now available from many candy makers, or you can print out a place card and wrap it around the chocolate bar. Customized chocolate that matches your wedding theme can be a memorable touch to your wedding favors.

Another idea is to give out gifts that are particular to your region or theme. Beach weddings can feature little shovel and bucket combos or printed mini-beach balls. A wedding in the Vermont or the Northeast might feature mini containers of maple syrup. This idea works best for weddings receptions where most of the guests are traveling and will appreciate a souvenir from your area.

Couples getting married near a holiday might consider giving out wedding favors themed for that holiday, such as Christmas ornaments, Fall leaf themed favors, or stars around the Fourth of July.

Another creative wedding favor idea that is growing in popularity is including wildflower seeds in one of your paper items, such as place cards that reserve places for guests. Then your guests can take their name card home and plant it to enjoy a colorful garden.

Computer savvy couples might want to give CD's with photos and songs burned on them. With a custom label featuring a picture of you or of your wedding theme, wedding discs are sure to please and intrigue.

Another great idea for your wedding is to display place cards in small frames that your guests can take home. They can then reuse the frames for their own pictures, removing some of the waste that can be associated with wedding favors.

There are lots of creative things you can do for your wedding. Just use your imagination, and you'll be sure to come up with a unique and elegant solution for all your wedding favors, to make your nuptials even more memorable.
