Fantasy and Elegance Meet: Fairy Tale & Silver Wedding Favors

By Aaron H.

All fairy tales have two features in common, all begin with "Once upon a time," and all end with "and they lived happily ever after." When couples wed, they are embarking on their on "happily ever after", which makes a fairy tale theme a popular choice for weddings. If it is the intention of the couple to give out wedding favors as special "Thank you" gifts for their guests, fairy tale wedding favors are the first logical choice. Silver wedding favors may be considered as well. One thing that is certain is that fairy tale wedding favors and silver wedding favors create a special atmosphere.

Fairy tale wedding favors are typically shaped like a magic castle, Cinderella's carriage or slipper, or, perhaps, the frog prince. There is a vast variety of fairy tale wedding favors so that couples may choose those which best represent their particular fairy tale.

Silver wedding favors are another popular choice, even when having a fairy tale themed wedding. Most of these are actually made of stainless steel, yet they give the appearance of silver and add a touch of elegance to any wedding regardless of theme. The bride is often the only thing at the wedding that will out shine the beauty of silver.

Silver wedding favors have a simple elegance about them that makes them appropriate for any wedding regardless of theme. Another advantage of silver wedding favors is that many of them can be personalized easily. Engraving the names of the couple and the wedding date into these items makes them marvelous keepsakes that the guests can look at later and have an instant reminder of the occasion and the experience of sharing in this wedding.

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.

For couples who feel that they are embarking on the first stage of their "happily ever after", a fairy tale theme is often used as the background for the wedding. Giving fairy tale wedding favors as "Thank you" gifts for the guests is a natural choice, so that the favors match the feelings of the couple and the theme of the wedding. If the couple chooses to go with something a little more elegant in their choices of favors, silver wedding favors are appropriate to give regardless of the wedding theme. - 16463
