For most people, there is no time of the year like spring. The first bit of sunshine and flowers following a long hard and sometimes depressing winter has a way of putting everyone into a great mood. Not suprisingly, this makes spring one of the most popular times of the year for weddings. I’m not sure of the statistics on this one, but it seems as if every year there are many many weddings on each and every weekend from March to May. Many brides with spring weddings incorporate everything about spring into their weddings. From spring colors, flowers, outdoor ceremonies, and in many cases, spring wedding favors to help their guests celebrate spring as well. So, if you’re racking your brain for new and unique ideas for spring wedding favors, then you’ve come to the right place! Here are some great ideas for spring wedding favors.
1. Flower Seed Packets
This is starting to become more and more popular each year. You can either buy your favorite flower seeds or even fruit and vegetable seeds relatively cheaply from any nursery. Either buy the individual packs, or buy the seeds in bulk and make cute containers for them yourself, such as baby food jars or other homemade envelopes. If you are buying in bulk, be sure to include a tag on the wedding favor letting your guests know what their seeds are, and any caring instructions they need to know. One cute idea I’ve seen is to buy many different flower, fruit and even vegetable packs, and give each table a different type of seed. Then, for each table, name the table the name of the seed they will receive. It worked out really well.
2. Flower Bulbs
Another great idea, though perhaps could be a bit expensive for larger weddings, is to purchase flower or other plant bulbs, and wrap cellophane around the bottom of each bulb. Then, place a bulb at each table setting, or back table if you’re not having a dinner. Then, just like the wedding favor above, create a tag for each bulb with the name of the plant, care instructions, and even a cute saying such as, “Watching our love grow”, or “Our love is blooming”. Cute idea, and those of us without a green thumb have more of a chance of growing the flowers.
3. Spring/Summer Packs
Another great idea for creating spring wedding favors is to give each guest a small pack with everything they’ll need for the spring and summer season. If you are crafty you can make your own bags, or buy special gift bags off of the internet. Then, you can fill it up with anything that you like, such as pairs of flip flops, sunglasses, beach towels, sunscreen, any number of things. Use your imagination, and be sure to vary some of the bags from table to table.
Personally spring is my favorite time of year, my husband and I were even married in the spring. I love the spring and everything about it.
