One aspect of bride’s wedding planning which can be a problem is finding unique wedding favors. There are so many ideas, some of which you see done at every wedding, and others that just seem to be a flop and everyone leaves them on the tables rather than take them home. While you don’t want to kill your budget and a huge amount of money on your wedding favors, you also don’t want to rule them out completely. With all the research I’ve been doing on weddings lately, I’ve come across some pretty cool ideas for unique wedding favors. I feel like I’ve seen enough of them to write about that I can do a whole series. So if you are looking for some new and unique wedding favors that you just don’t see around very much, then here are some great ideas to help you get started.
Give them a Treat
One unique wedding favor that I saw, really loved and wished that I had done, was to give my wedding guests a real treat like this unique wedding favor. Here in Texas, Dr. Pepper rules when it comes to soda. Created in Waco, Texas, Dr. Pepper sodas are a favorite among the old and young alike. To go even a step further, the Dr. Pepper factor and bottling company also offers glass bottled Dr. Peppers made with the original imperial sugar cane instead of the syrups. It’s a wonderful thing. They are a little pricier than the cans, but the taste is totally worth it. You can either put them out on the tables, or on one central table for everyone to take one as they are leaving and enjoy at a later day. Trust me, you won’t have any leftovers of this unique wedding favor!!
Give them a “Sause”
No, I did not spell sauce wrong. I’m talking about a particular bar-b-que sauce that is popular here in Texas. There is a great BBQ place here in Texas called Rudy’s. Their restaurants are always located in gas stations, and have some of the best meats and sides that you’ll find anywhere. I had them cater our wedding, and it was excellent. One thing that they are known for is the BBQ “Sause”. Their original sauce is like any other – a little peppery, while their ‘Sissy Sause” is a little lighter on the pepper and still just as popular. A unique wedding favor that I thought of, but because of budget reasons was unable to do was to give a small bottle of sauce to each guest.
Unique wedding favors are everywhere if you can just open your eyes and use a little bit of creativity. There are so many different possibilites for unique wedding favors that going through all of them would just be impossible. These unique wedding favors are Texas favorites, and may not work for your wedding and what you have planned. But I wrote them in with the hopes that my description would jog your memory a little and make you think of something that is a favorite in your particular area.

I like the sause idea. I didn’t know dr. pepper came from Texas. I make live fresh roses with the bride and groom’s names and wedding date on the petals. We overnight ship everything we make so that we can serve the entire USA. Please check out my pics and write an article about me if you like it http://www.CustomRoses.com
