Warm up a winter wedding with personalized winter wedding favors for guests to take home from the reception.

Though typically regard by the wedding industry as an off-peak time to get married, winter is becoming a popular time of year for brides and grooms to get married. Snowy landscapes offer a picturesque backdrop for winter weddings, while glowing fires and romantic candlelight add ambiance to more intimate affairs. Winter wedding favors provide the perfect ending to a winter-themed wedding.

Personalized Winter Wedding Beverages

Personalized favors, such as personalized wedding beverages are a growing trend. In response, the wedding industry has created several options that lend themselves well to a winter wedding. Packets of beverages, like hot cocoa mix or coffee can be personalized and tucked into a white coffee mug for a thank you. Another idea is to order personalized bottles of apple cider, which can be opened during the toast, or handed out as guests leave for the evening. Each packet can be customized with a clever phrase, such as "John and Jane, the perfect mix," or "Tim and Sue, the perfect blend."

Winter Wedding Place Card Favors

Favors that double as place cards for winter weddings help to decorate the wedding reception, act as a seating chart for the wedding reception, and serve as wedding favors. While slightly more expensive than traditional favors, place card wedding favors make up for their cost with their multi-purpose functionality. Guests enjoy finding a seat that has been reserved just for them, and having a personalized wedding favor upon their arrival at the wedding reception welcomes them to the wedding celebration.

Snowflake place card holders are another option for winter wedding favors, and can be easily transformed into a holiday ornament for the wedding guests.

Elegant Winter Wedding Favors

Having a beautifully wrapped gift at each place setting enhances the appearance of the wedding reception and makes the table look complete. Snowflake bottle stoppers that come pre-wrapped in winter-themed wrapping paper are sure to be appreciated by wedding guests. They are a functional and formal reminder of the wedding day for all who attended the wedding. If the wedding budget is not an issue, consider pairing this winter wedding favor with a nice bottle of wine or sparkling cider. The labels of the bottles are easily customized with the names of the bride and groom.

For those marrying in winter, using the season as the overall theme of the wedding provides limitless options for wedding decorations and winter wedding favors. Winter-themed wedding decorations such as ice candles, origami snowflakes, or do-it-yourself snow covered branches are just some ideas that coordinate well with winter wedding favors.
