December is almost here ! Are you ready for your winter wedding? Are you looking for the perfect favor ideas? These charming gifts will warm the hearts of your guests, while making your reception even more beautiful.
Gloves or Mittens
Give your guests something they can wear home with a sturdy set of gloves or mittens. Neutral colors like brown, black, gray and white are most likely to appeal to guests. You can give them to guests individually, or allow guests to take their own from a pile. If you want to add some color, gender-neutral, calm colors may have the most appeal to adults. Colors like blue, sage-green and dark red are more likely to match your guest's winter attire, so pick colors carefully.
Dry Soup Ingredients
Give your guests the gift of your favorite soup! Package all the dry ingredients(with instructions) into several attractive baggies or small jars. Be sure to try out the final product for yourself before giving it to your guests; you'll want to be sure that the instructions are clear and accurate.
Blankets
Attractive throw blankets will warm your guests and give them something they can use for years to come. You can either give one to each guest individually, or allow your guests to take their blankets from a stack. Like the gloves, neutral colors are best because they're the most likely to match your guests' decor at home. If possible, offer blankets in a range of colors to give guests a choice.
Ornament Place Card
Making homemade tree ornaments is a great idea., Write the names of your guests around the outside of each ornament. Then, use the ornaments as place cards to direct each person to their seat it at the table.
Vanilla Extract
Vanilla extract is surprisingly easy to make! Simply package a real vanilla bean into a dark brown bottle, then fill it to the brim with rum. Allow the bottle to sit for a few months in a dark, cool closet. This homemade vanilla extract will be helpful for your guests during the holiday cooking and baking season.
Extract can be refilled by simply topping it off with rum after each use, so give instructions to each guest to ensure they'll know what to do.
Champagne
Champagne is festive and fun for everyone at this time of year. Pass out individual bottles of your signature sparkling wine with the date and a thank you for attending. Your guests can enjoy their sparkling wine at home during the holiday season. To make the sparkling wine extra festive, attach a small ornament to the neck of each bottle.
Gingerbread Cookies
Make homemade gingerbread for f your guests, and then leave a gingerbread man at each place setting at the reception. If you're going to have a cookie table, don't put gingerbread cookies with the others. This helps make the gingerbread cookies a little more special for your guests.
