People love wine! Whether you are having your wedding in a vineyard, or just have a love for fine wine, you can use your wedding as a chance to share this interest with your guests. A great way to do this is with wine related wedding favors.
There are many different wine themed wedding favors that you can choose. If you are having your wedding in a vineyard, or near a great winery, then the perfect gift would be small bottles of wine. It is often possible to get half sized bottles that you can give as favors to your guests. You will definitely want to personalize the bottles in some fashion. Custom labels are one great idea. Another is to hang a heavy paper tag around the neck of each bottle with a little note saying something like, “Thank you for sharing our special day. Love, Susie and Bob”.
If a bottle of wine is not quite what you had in mind for favors, there are other equally great options. Customized corkscrews would be one really unique favor idea. The top of the corkscrew can be engraved with your wedding date and location: “June 27, 2009 Sonoma Valley, California”. This would be a gift that is as practical as it is elegant.
Something that every host never has enough of is wine charms. These little tags are designed to be placed around the base stem of wine glasses at parties so that each guest will be able to keep track of his own drink. They also happen to be very cute! You can get wine charms in infinite variations, from silver to enamel to wine related shapes. A little box of wine charms makes a perfect parting gift.
Another type of wine themed wedding favor that you could give is a bottle topper. There are many different decorative styles available. Some have ceramic figures on top of the cork, such as a bunch of grapes. Others are very sophisticated, with a simple silver top. This style can also be personalized with an engraved initial or your wedding date. A single bottle topper in an organza bag would make a fantastic favor for wine lovers.
Anything edible is always a hit with guests, so another idea for a wedding favor would be to make small gift baskets. They can feature a half bottle of wine, along with some local cheese and special crackers. This would not be inexpensive, but it would be a very memorable type of wedding favor if you are having a small wedding.
If you are having your wedding in an actual vineyard, wine will likely play a very important role. You might consider extending the theme to the bridesmaid and groomsmen gives that you choose for your attendants. For example, if you know that you are going to be giving the corkscrews as your wedding favors, you can give your groomsmen gifts that will coordinate. A handsome personalized wood wine gift box with a bottle of the vineyard’s finest would be an excellent and thoughtful present for your attendants.
As more and more people learn to appreciate fine wine, the idea of a wine related wedding favor is a great idea. This unique favor is a sophisticated gift that will set your wedding apart from the ordinary. Best of all, you know that a wine themed favor is a gift that that your guests will really love.
