Something Different For Your Wedding Guests

Unique Wedding Favours

Coaster wedding favors serve the same purpose, to a much smaller commercial end, of course. They help remind the guests of the wedding and even better, of the bride and groom. They are also functional, which means, your guests will be able to use them in their own homes and offices after the party is over. And if they are designed prettily enough, your guests will display them around for quite a while after.

Coaster wedding favors are not as straightforward as you would think. Today, wedding coasters can be simple drink mats to lay your drink upon or items that can magically morph into place card holders or photo frames. The choice is yours!

The less straightforward ones will have detachable photo compartments between the actual coaster and the layer of plastic on it. This means the photo is replaceable with any other, which may be more useful to your guests. They can always keep your wedding picture in their album and use your wedding coasters to hold their own precious memories while being reminded of your wedding on a regular basis. These also become useful place card holders, which hold more than just pictures. If designed appropriately, your coaster wedding favors may just be displayed in a boutique or board room of one of your guests, and in place of a photo, you will find an impressive business card.

Coasters as wedding favors are not boring gift items. Gone are the days when coasters were just pieces of hard boards lying around on the table all stained and smeared with what you hope is beverage. Today’s coaster wedding favors are elegant, sometimes exquisitely designed. You will not find it uncommon to see coasters decorated with motifs of entwining vines and hearts with a stamped picture of the bridal couple in the centre. At first glance, they may look like photo frames and it is only on a second look that you will realize that they are in fact, coasters.

It may seem that wedding coasters these days no longer function just as a mat for your drinks. Some coasters are even matched up with candle holders, with prop handles behind so they can be propped up as and when necessary. These interesting wedding coasters can triple up as coaster, place card holder and candle holder all at the same time.

Wedding coasters are also easy to present at the reception. With such beautiful designs on them, you will need nothing more than an organza or satin ribbon to tie around your coasters. While giving two coasters per guest is best, a coaster per person is sufficient as well. You have a choice of either putting each coaster at each seat during the reception or leaving them in a pile at the exit for your guests to pick up on their way out.

As wedding favours, you have your choice of photo or printed coasters. Either way, you can be assured that your wedding coasters will be much appreciated by your guests long after your party is over.
