Planning a wedding and want a unique wedding favor to send home
with your guests? Coffee wedding favors are a very popular and
unique item that will be used with joy. Don\'t get something that
will just sit on a shelf and collect dust or worse yet get put in
the back closet and your guests home. By giving a wedding coffee
favor you can ensure that you are giving your guests something
they will use. Not only will they enjoy using the gift they will
enjoy thinking about the wonderful memories and fun times they
had at the wedding as they sip their wonderful full bodied
flavorful coffee.
Well, if you are already sold on coffee wedding favors then you
will want to read through this article for some easy ideas to
really make unique and outstanding wedding favors.
Coffee- This is the obvious place to start as it will be the
central theme to your wedding favor. You should try and plan the
theme of the wedding first and then select a coffee that goes
along with that theme. For example an easy one would be if you
are getting married in Maui or even having a Hawaiian theme
wedding you will want to use Kona Coffee in your wedding favor
basket. If you have not yet selected a theme for the wedding
another thing you can do is look for a local coffee roaster and
purchase from them. This will give you guests a little taste of
the local area and it supports your local businesses also. Of
course if neither of these easily fit into your wedding and still
do not strike an idea for you a third option would be to choose
your own favorite flavor of coffee. Do you love a certain blend
at your local coffee shop or maybe something fancy from
Starbucks? Well, choose this as your coffee. As forethought you
might want to purchase both regular caffeinated coffee and some
decaffeinated.
Next you will want to add some personal touches and make the
coffee wedding favor really stand out. There are so many ways to
do this but we will give you just a few. These are mostly just
to spark ideas for you that you will hopefully use and alter or
personalize to suit your own needs.
Coffee Packaging - If at all possible it is a very classy to
personalize the favors. You can print a computer label or
purchase from a shop that will do this for you. Putting things
like the Bride and Groom\'s Name, date and location of the wedding
can be a nice touch. IF you are doing this yourself adding in
the guests name can also be a lot of fun. To easily make a label
you can look around online for free clip art and then just
customize it with your own colors and writing.
Mugs - If you would like to round out the coffee wedding favor
and expand from the basics a little bit more purchasing coffee
mugs can be a quick and easy edition. You can easily purchase
customized mugs to any color you would like. You can also add a
picture easily to custom mugs and have the bride and groom
smiling at everyone as they drink their coffee wedding favor.
Stir Spoons - But a large bunch of plastic spoons and drip them
into melted chocolate. Then wrap these spoons with tulle and
add a beautiful ribbon that matches the colors of the wedding.
Now you are taking the gift from a oh! Nice to a WOW level.
Chocolate Covered Coffee Beans - Another fun addition can be a
personalized bag of chocolate covered coffee beans. These can
easily be purchased in bulk and then put into a tin or bag and
customized with a quick label on the computer.
Chocolates - There are not many coffee drinkers in the world that
would turn down a wonderful elegant chocolate in addition to
their coffee. You do not need to place too many chocolates in
with the coffee but a few high quality chocolates nicely wrapped
with a ribbon can go a long way to add class.
Hot Chocolate - Have a lot of guests with young children coming
to the wedding? If so you might want to include some fun hot
chocolate with the favor and this way the children can join in on
the fun also!
Teas - If you are worried about those non-coffee drinkers out
there are there are always a few you can appease this crowd by
placing a nice tea or some tea bags in with the gift.
Chocolate covered almonds - Chocolate covered almonds can be
purchased in bulk in a wide variety of colors and finding one
that matches the colors of the wedding and again making tins of
them can be a fun addition to the coffee wedding favor.
As you can see coffee wedding favors are a great ideas that can
become very creative by adding a few simple touches of class to
them. Hopefully the ideas above will spark something for you and
you will be off and working on creating your own custom wedding
favor. Just think about all the people who the morning after the
wedding will wake up and enjoy the wonderful coffee wedding favor
you have so lovingly prepared for them.
