Fantasy and Elegance Meet: Fairy Tale & Silver Wedding Favors

By Aaron H.

Two common factors in all fairy tales are that they begin with "Once upon a time" and they end with "and they lived happily ever after." For couples getting married, the wedding is the beginning of their "happily ever after." This makes a fairy tale theme one that is frequently chosen for weddings. If the couple intends to give wedding favors to their guests as "Thank you" gifts, fairy tale wedding favors are quite popular, given this theme. Another type of wedding favors that couples may consider is silver wedding favors. One certainty is that it is possible to create a special atmosphere with fairy tale wedding favors and silver wedding favors.

Fairy tale wedding favors are items that are typically in the shape of castles, Cinderella's carriage, or Cinderella's glass slipper. Other item may include candles in the shape of the frog prince. There is a wide selection of fairy tale themed items available so that couples may select those which they feel represent their particular fairy tale the best.

Another type of favor that is very popular to include, even in a fairy tale wedding, is silver wedding favors. While the majority of these items are made of stainless steel instead of real silver, they give the appearance of silver that will make them stand out among the more elegant items to be seen at the wedding. Often the only thing that can outshine the beauty of silver at a wedding is the bride.

Of course, given the simple elegance of silver wedding favors, they would not be out of place at any wedding regardless of theme. Silver wedding favors also hold the distinction of being items that are, often, easily personalized. The couple can have their names and wedding date engraved on most silver wedding favors. This makes them marvelous keepsakes that will remind the guests of the wedding and the experience of sharing in this happy occasion.

Unlike simply sending out "Thank you" cards after the fact, wedding favors say "Thank you" in a stronger, more effective manner. Most favors are small, inexpensive items that the guests can keep and look upon in future years to recall the occasion where the items were received. Most couples choose their wedding favors from a selection of items that fit into the theme of the wedding.

Couples who believe that they are beginning their own fairy tale happily ever after often choose to use a fairy tale theme as a backdrop for their wedding, making the giving of fairy tale favors a natural choice for "Thank you" gifts. Couples desiring to include something a little more elegant as wedding favors may find that silver wedding favors are appropriate regardless of the theme of the wedding. - 14915
