Wedding favor ideas are needed by most wedding couples who want to gift back something special to their guests who became a part of their wedding. Gifting wedding favor presents is quite a common practice in Christian and American weddings. However, this practice is soon getting prominence in other cultures also. Be it an Indian marriage, Muslim marriage or Bangladeshi weddings, couples nowadays spends a good amount of time looking for unique and novel wedding favor ideas to make the guests feel happy and special. An incident that is particularly etched in my memory regarding wedding favor ideas is the Bangladeshi marriage of one of my dear friends- Debleena Biswas.
Debleena’s wedding was an arranged marriage. She married a guy whom her parents selected for her through one of the popular Bangladeshi matrimonial websites. Debleena started making special plans for her reception several days ahead of the Hindu marriage ceremony that took place in her house to ensure that her wedding turns out to be memorable not only for her but also for her guests. In order to make the invitees at the wedding party feel special, Debleena decided to gift beautiful wedding favor presents that can very well serve as an expression of the gratitude towards her guests for taking out precious time for attending her wedding. However, she was at a loss of wedding favor ideas and thus she turned to her few close friends and family members for help.
Someone in her family suggested that she go for practical wedding favor gifts as most guests appreciate being gifted with something that they can put to good use. Functional wedding favor gifts are more preferred over simple decorative and useless gift items for invitees. For a few close friends and relatives, Debleena chose personalized wedding favor gifts to add that personal touch to the gift. Moreover, handmade personalized gifts are less expensive than those bought from the market. She chose traditional gift items that highlighted the importance of marriage in a bride’s life.
One of the most amazing wedding favor ideas that she found when browsing through the Bangladeshi marriage websites was to gift guests’ themed wedding favors so as to make them remember the theme of her wedding long after the wedding ceremony ended. She was also offered the idea of packaging wedding favors in exquisite wedding favor boxes that can transform even an ordinary gift item into a beautiful one. With the help of these excellent wedding favor ideas, Debleena managed to delight the guests and express her heart-felt thanks without burning a hole in her pocket.
