Favors for Valentine’s Day Weddings

Getting married on Valentine’s Day, arguably the most romantic day of the year, makes it pretty easy to find décor and favors for your wedding. Great deals abound this time of year when it comes to wedding favors for your guests.  One of the simplest is mini boxes of chocolate. Assorted chocolates can be purchased at local stores, for about $1 each, at Walgreen’s or Dollar Tree. You can place a box at each table setting to add flair to the table or place them artfully on a small table located near the entrance/exit.  If the packaging already compliments your décor, you can leave them unwrapped.  You can also dress up these fun mini boxes with ribbon or wrap each box with decorative paper to conceal its contents.  Valentine’s cookies are another affordable favor option.  Most local grocery stores sell decorated valentine cookies in a variety of designs. You can wrap a few cookies in clear plastic packaging tied with ribbon, or you can wrap them in tissue paper with a personalized sticker on top.  These cookie treats will look great in a large basket on a decorated table.  A Valentine’s Day wedding is the perfect opportunity to capitalize on sweet treats and other fun favors.  Browse your local discount stores and you are sure to find great affordable favor ideas to match your Valentine’s Day wedding theme.

Groomsmen Gifts

Show the groomsmen in your wedding how much you appreciate their participation and support. A small gift is a nice way to say thank you to the groomsmen, considering they've spend money on a tuexedo or suit, shown the groom a good time for his bachelor party, and maybe even traveled to attend your wedding.  The groom typically pays for the cost of his groomsmen gifts.  They can be distributed at the rehearsal dinner or on the wedding day.  Gifts can be chosen for each individual groomsmen or personalized with their initials or name.  You don't have to break the bank when buying groomsmen gifts, especially if you have a large wedding party.  Shop around and be creative.  Some great gift ideas include:

  • Personalized shaving kit
