The holiday season is a crazy time of year when brides often feel the need to set aside their wedding planning efforts. Between the family get-togethers of Thanksgiving, the company holiday parties, Hanukah, Christmas, and every other holiday between Halloween and New Years life often seems too crazy to find an opportunity to plan a wedding.
The reality, however, is that the holiday season presents a great opportunity to work magic with your wedding preparations. What’s more, the opportunity that it presents is not one that is readily found in any other time of the year.
Wedding Favors Make Great Stocking Stuffers!
Thinking about using sun catchers for your wedding favors but not sure if you will like them when the whole lot arrives? Order one and then after you have had a chance to inspect it slip it into your sister’s stocking on Christmas Eve. Who wouldn’t love to find a set of etched glass coasters in their stocking on Christmas morning? Or bath powder sachets? Considering using Barefoot Sandals as a Bridesmaids gift? Order a pair to give to your sister for Christmas. After all, what woman wouldn’t love a pair of Barefoot Sandals to help them feel attractive on the beach?
Use the holiday season to check out a variety of items you are considering using as wedding favors at your reception. This approach allows a bride to make her budget stretch by accomplishing both a part of your Christmas shopping and checking out wedding favors at the same time.
What’s more, nearly everybody has a long list of people that they need to recognize with a gift of some sort. And everyone has a shopping list that includes bosses, coworkers, Aunts and Uncles and other extended family and associates that don’t require much more than a gesture. Consider these examples:
- Check out the collection of beach favors for a boss that loves to run off to Hawaii every winter.
- Search through the collection of candle favors for a candle that you might be able to use in your wedding reception to give to your Aunt that you see once or twice a year – but loves candles.
- Choose one of each kind of bookmark favors that fits your wedding theme for the readers on your list.
- Choose from the decorative bottle stoppers for a relative who spends lots of time in the kitchen.
- Choose cruise ship luggage tags for someone who loves to sail.
You get the idea. By shopping for your stocking stuffers and your individual tokens of affection for your holiday gift giving you can give yourself the opportunity to decide just which wedding favors are right for your wedding while taking care of your holiday needs at the same time.
By the way, don't miss this opportunity to help your husband to be by slipping, A Groom's Guide: Turning Grooms into Gentlemen into his stocking. He will thank you for it.
