Favors For Your Guests
You want to give your wedding guests a gift that’s just right, but that doesn’t mean you have to spend a lot of money. We’ve got cheap wedding favors that are top quality. Whether you’re looking for personalized favors or simple ones, we’ve got wedding favors you and your guests will absolutely adore.
The best way to make your favors unique is to include the names of the couple as well as the wedding date somewhere on the favor. The great thing about wedding favors is that they come in such a vast range of different items, and virtually all of these items can include monograms. One very popular favor idea continues to be chocolates, with the original twist coming in the way that the chocolates are packaged. Packaging, in fact, continues to be the way in which most wedding favors convey the sense of originality, whether small gift boxes or bags are used to encase the present. Miniature items to consider include sets of teaspoons, tiny monogrammed bottles of champagne, paper weights, and coaster. Some couple may also choose to use small cameras as favors, so that the guests have a gift and can also contribute to the memories!
Gifts For Your Groomsmen
Buying thank-you groomsmen gifts for the groomsmen who participated in your wedding may seem like a difficult task at first, but once you come to the realization that they are just men, the task becomes much simpler. This is not to say that the gifts have to be cheap or throwaway, but it does mean that there is a lot less stock put in the sentimental value of the gift and much more put in its practicality. For this reason, the groom should have a lot of input into the gifts for his entourage, but it is likely that this will have to come with some prodding by the bride.
Traditional gifts for the groomsmen include bar ware (such as pint glasses, wine glasses, sets, and cocktail shakers), money clips, flasks, and the like. Some more modern twists include sportswear and sports gear, such as pennants and bats. Because the groom and his attendants so often share the same interests, it might be a good idea to give a gift that they can all use during their favorite pastimes, such as golf gear or paintball accessories. Tool kits are also a great idea for the groomsmen. In all cases, the gifts should be personalized by adding an engraving as well as a thank you note and the date of the wedding.

Children's Gifts
Most weddings will involve children in some capacity in the ceremony, typically as flower girls and ring bearers. It is important to thank the children who are part of the big day in the same way as the adult participants, through the giving of gifts which act as both mementos and thank-yous. Of course, kids can be a lot pickier than adults, and are also more prone to losing even the most precious of gifts. It is important that the personalized children's gifts that you present after your wedding are therefore gender specific and easy to keep safe and visible.
To satisfy this criteria, there are several types of children's gifts that are appropriate. Little girls, like big girls, love jewelry and this is always a viable option for the flower girl. You might also consider a framed picture of the bride and the flower girl or a small purse or handbag. Ring bearers will appreciate banks, sports memorabilia, pens or storage boxes. Like the other gifts, the children's gifts should be personalized through an engraving.
