			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wedding favors are typically small gifts that are given as a gesture of appreciation or gratitude to guests from the bride and groom during a wedding reception. There are plenty of wedding favors ideas ranging from those that are edible to the more practical and functional. A lot of couples prefer wedding favors that are considered more durable. A popular choice nowadays is a scented candle in a small tin with the bride&#8217;s and groom&#8217;s names or initials engraved on the lid.</p>
<p>Another practical choice when it comes to wedding favors is a wine glass which your guests can bring home and use all year round. Some couples choose magnets as their wedding favor which can prove to be very useful as well as a lovely reminder of their wedding. One of the most classic wedding favors is a place card that is framed in a silver or gold picture frame. This often works well if you have a seating arrangement during the wedding reception and eliminates the need to hand out the favors individually.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nowadays, brides and grooms have become increasingly creative when it comes to choosing wedding favors, since there are so many to choose from that will express their unique personality as a couple. Among wedding favors that are edible, <a href="http://www.worldwideweddingsupplies.com/wedding-favors/chocolate-wedding-favors" target="_blank" title="chocolate wedding favors">chocolate wedding favors</a> are still the number one choice for couples about to get married. The trouble with these wedding favors is that they probably won&#8217;t last very long.</p>
<p>Some couples instead prefer to opt for wedding favors that are a bit more durable. One of the more popular modern choices is a scented candle contained in a small tin with the bride&#8217;s and groom&#8217;s names or initials on the lid. A practical choice would be a beautiful wine glass that your guests can take home and enjoy using the whole year round. Some couples enjoy giving out custom made magnets, which are very useful and are lovely reminders of their wedding.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You&#8217;re wedding will take place a few days from now. You are having mix of emotions. You are happy that you&#8217;re going to spend the rest of your life with the person you love. But you are also scared of what is in store for you. Will you and your future husband get along ling your mom and dad who are still married after 25 years?</p>
<p>These are your worries when you and your girl friends got together for a small party before the ceremony. They assure that it is perfectly normal to feel that way. Everybody has second thoughts when they are about to wed. With that, you feel somewhat okay.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wedding favors should be chosen with care. They have to complement the theme of the wedding. Think of colors, images and items that are closely associated with the theme of the wedding. A fall wedding will connote blazing colors of reds, oranges and greens. Brown is also a color of autumn. Use them in the linen and candleholders. They will be a fitting backdrop for the fiery colors of autumn leaves.</p>
<p>Some ideas for fall wedding favors will include leaf shaped chocolates in the autumn colors. Another way of presenting chocolates as a wedding favor is to stuff them into small brown boxes and tie then up with gold ribbons. You can also create autumn inspired candle holders. They can double as guest cards. Some fall wedding favors you can make yourself if you are a little savvy in the kitchen. You can bake mini cakes with the leaf motif.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.aweddingidea.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/wedding_toast.jpg" align="right" height="196" hspace="7" vspace="7" width="262" />One way of saying “thank you” after your wedding is through the wedding toasts that are performed during the reception. The best man will give a toast and he offers it to the bride. The maid of honor will give a toast to the groom and the father of the bride will make a toast to the newly-weds.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The couple, in turn, will have the opportunity to be the ones to say “thank you” in what is called the “return toast”. Since the groom and the bride are not allowed to initiate a toast in their honor, the return toast enables them to offer a toast to those people whom they would like to thank such as the parents of either the groom or the bride or both, the wedding entourage and even to all the guests who witnesses their formal entry into the life of a married couple. The wedding toast is done with <a href="http://www.romanticweddingstore.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=122&amp;products_id=503" target="_blank">gorgeous glasses</a> hand picked buy the bride and groom.
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span id="more-93"></span>Aside from the wedding toasts, the distribution of the wedding tokens or the wedding favors to the attendees is another way of saying “thank you” after your wedding. In any given wedding, guests are excited to receive these favors or tokens since serve as a remembrance of the memorable occasion.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>During the wedding preparation, the bride and groom are expected to personally handpick or decide on what <a href="http://www.romanticweddingstore.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=117&amp;products_id=639" target="_blank">favors</a> or tokens to give out. In some cases, the word “thank you” is written on the favors or tokens, but this is not necessary. As long as you give each guest this memento, it already symbolizes the couple’s appreciation.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.aweddingidea.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/votive-holders.jpg" align="right" height="166" hspace="7" vspace="7" width="205" />One great way to save money on your big day is to combine your centerpieces with your party favors.  Centerpieces are a main part of your decorations and can have all sorts of functions. From the traditional arrangement of flowers, to a more personal choice to wishing wells surrounded by pens for guests to make well wishes to you, to a way to entertain children, centerpieces make a statement about your wedding and can make you and your guests enjoy the day more.
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Give your centerpieces a little bit of thought and planning. You don’t want the flowers wilting or chocolate melting. I once even heard a horror story of someone who decided to combine votive candles under a tiny goldfish bowl-you can just imagine how that turned out.
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span id="more-85"></span>You can get very creative with your centerpiece ideas, make them match your theme, make them simple, or the most talked about part of the day.
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>One of the greatest ideas is to combine your wedding favors with your centerpiece. My girlfriend gave out miniature feed bags filled with candy at her cowboy wedding. They looked adorable in the center of each table, were a great conversation piece and fun to take home. Another great idea is <a href="http://www.romanticweddingstore.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=117&amp;products_id=638" target="_blank">votive candles holders</a> lighting the center of the tables, or you can even fill each one with a small flower.
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Remember to take into consideration your wedding theme, location and your personal style when choosing your favor. Favors and centerpieces don’t have to be combined that if they are the results can be gorgeous and affordable.
