In years gone by wedding favors were usually quite boring.  How many receptions have you attended in your lifetime that had a little sack of Jordan almonds wrapped in net with a tiny tag that only had the names of the bride and groom and the date of the wedding?  I bet more than you can count on all fingers of both hands.  Fan wedding favors are not only innovative, but they can be so much more than a simple decoration on the reception table.

Many couples chose specific themes or settings that are especially meaningful to them for one reason or another.  Perhaps there is a special scripture verse that they have included in their vows that they would like to be remembered always.  Others choose to have a small wedding portrait on the actual fan part of the favor in lieu of sending out wedding photos.  A tiny picture of the bride and groom framed in a heart makes a charming motif that motivates guests to actually display their fan wedding favors once they are brought home.

Fan wedding favors can be placed in the champagne glasses, on the napkin or in floral arrangements among other places on the tables.   Some even have tiny attachments such as scrolls with the wedding vows or miniature flowers that are reminiscent of the reception décor.  Follow your theme, figure out how much information you want to have printed, choose your colors and embellishments and fan wedding favors are a truly lovely addition to the reception tables.
