If you’re planning a spring or summer wedding this year, you’ve probably begun to think about wedding favors. Favors are “thank you” gifts to your guests for sharing the joy of your big day.

Selecting favors to suit your spring or summer wedding doesn’t have to be difficult. By now, you’ve probably decided on a theme, wedding party colors, chosen a location and your attire. Use these to help you pick your favors.

So, here are few ideas. If your’s is a spring wedding, seasonal favors are always a great choice. How about a packet of flower garden seeds, a gift that guests can take home, plant, and enjoy in the future. Often packaged in decorative tins, guests can plant the seeds and reuse the tins later.

Flowers begin blooming in the spring. For blooms that never die, present your guests with miniature crystal flower pots tied up with a satin and organza bow. This functions as a lovely place card holder, too.

Live flowers are definitely appropriate at both spring and summer weddings. Give guests pots filled with fresh daffodils, tulips or pansies. Or fill petite watering cans, another sign of spring, with home made cookies or candies.

Options for summer wedding favors are endless. If you’re planning a beach theme wedding, use favors with a nautical or tropical flavor. Beach inspired candles, frosted glass coasters, or fun, mini flip flop place card holders would all work.

For an outdoor or garden theme wedding, personalized hand fans made of bamboo are a terrific choice, especially if the weather is warm. Local, seasonal fruit like strawberries, blueberries, peaches, or plums make yummy thank you gifts for your guests.

These suggestions represent just a few possibilities. Just remember to enjoy your search and have fun!
