One of the most popular ideas are candles with candleholders. These can be in the form of decorative little votives or larger pillar style candles. One of the best reasons to use candles with candleholders is that they can also double as wedding reception table decorations.
Placing the lighted candles on the table will add to the overall ambiance of the table and also give it that extra special touch of style. Make sure, however, that your guests realize that the candleholders are there for them to take with them when they leave.
Another popular choice for wedding reception favors are decorative boxes or containers filled with chocolates, mints, or other candies. You can choose any type of container you like and have them sitting on top of the plates at each place setting or on a large table near the door.
Pretty little tins, glass vases, ceramic plates, miniature baskets, mesh bags, take-out boxes, fabric pouches, flower pots, or anything else you can think of can be filled with little treats.
Choose chocolate candy kisses, pastel mints, candy coated almonds, or specially engraved candy hearts to fill the containers with and attach decorative tags or stickers on them to indicate to your guests that they are there for them to take home.
You can also give wedding party keepsakes that are a little more meaningful and that your guests can use after the wedding.
This might include decorative bottle stoppers, engraved key chains, cute little photo frames, paperweights, magnets, or entire gift bags filled with a variety of goodies. No matter what your budget, you can find individual wedding reception favors that will tell your guests you appreciate them for joining you and your new spouse on your special day.
