Destination wedding favors should be small enough to pack, preferrably non-breakable and non-flamable. Edibles can be eaten at the reception party so you won't have to worry about spoilage.
If you have guests who will be flying home or driving for many hours these are important notes to highlight.
Ok...so where do we begin?
Well, for starters how about small items directly related to traveling.
chrome luggage tags (you can have them engraved with your names and wedding date)
pen lights (engraved)
keychains
manicure kits (these are loved by both men and women)
small grooming kits (shaving, cosmetics)
mini hand bags with travel size soap & shampoo sets
personalized address books with your photo and home address on the front cover)
So you get a pretty good idea of the kinds of items that make great destination favors. Your options can be endless!
Capture those memories for life!
Disposable cameras make a great wedding favor for those kodak moments. You can have a camera at each place setting so your guests can start capturing those special memories for their photo albums.
Bottled water makes a wonderfully, refreshing favor, especially at beach weddings. The labels can be customized with your names and wedding date. These are also very inexpesive. Your guest will want to save the bottle once the they drink the water or just save the bottle water and all!
Unique Wedding Favors
If you want to do edibles there are many destination themed candies and chocolates in the shape of seashells, starfish, fish lollipops and so forth. Don't use anything that will melt and make a mess if the temperature is too warm.
There are many other options if your wedding is not beach themed.
If you are getting married in Paris or Venice for instance, you may want to check the local shops to see what they have.
A few years ago I traveled to Venice, the city of romance! Definately an unforgettable experience! I brought back a bunch of small gondolas for my friends back in the states. They absolutely loved them!
Better yet you and your sweetheart can have a live photo taken in the gondola and place them in personalized frames to give as destination wedding favors. Of course, if you happen to marry in Venice, that is. (SMILE)
Some couples like to have small fruit baskets or baskets with crackers, cheese, and wine left in the hotel rooms to welcome their guests upon arrival. This serves as a sufficient gift for the guests. It is not necessary to have wedding favors in this case.
