Your wedding is a reflection of who you are as a person and who you and your fiancé will be as a couple. Your wedding favors should be as unique as your personality. There's no reason to settle for the boring or familiar, there is a whole world of unique wedding favors at your fingertips. Just imagine your perfect wedding theme and there are any number of interesting favors that can go with it!

Theme weddings are more popular than ever and can be seen on most of the wedding shows on television. If your idea of a great wedding day includes a theme, your favors can showcase your personal style. Imagine your New Orleans Mardi Gras themed wedding with some elegant pewter Fleur de Lis bottle openers for your guests. You could include pretty white baroque frame place card holders for the women at your tables or a beautiful purple and gold feathered mask as a gift. The ideas are endless and if you can imagine it, you can find it for your wedding.

A beach wedding in the summer is a perfect place to try out some beach themed favors. Hawaiian lei for the ladies and a sand or shell-filled glass bottle stopper for the gentlemen are inexpensive beach type favors. If you like the idea of sand and sunshine for your ceremony, monogrammed flip-flops are also a fun prize for the guests. You could even buy a white pair for the bride, a black pair for the groom and have the ceremony right out on the sand.

There are practical ideas for wedding favors that include personalized lip balm or "two of a kind" playing cards. Personalized matchbooks are a long-standing favorite for wedding favors, but you can go a little edgier with personalized glass coasters or wedding mint tins. An eco-friendly trend in weddings brings us to the bamboo coasters made from easily renewable sources, or Asian hand fans made by impoverished workers. There are also a lot of ideas for recycled favors including "lucky elephant" metal bookmarks made from recycled computer materials.

Another idea for a "green" wedding is to choose wedding seed favors. These seeds are native to your local area and your guests are able to plant them at home. Once grown, the plants will be enjoyed for years to come. Lottery tickets are a nice and inexpensive favor also. They cost only a dollar and a note can be added to remind your family and friends of how lucky you feel to have them!

The most unique favor you can have at your wedding is something that you've made yourself. A pretty beaded bracelet for the women and a keychain for the men can be the best favor imaginable if you've made them. These homemade favors mean more to your guests than something that can be purchased and the best part is, the favors can be as unique as you are!
