Unique Wedding Favours

For a tinge of unconventionality, some couples opt for something different as their wedding favor. Instead of the predictable photo album or frame, candle or napkin, they choose to have coasters. Being what they are, coasters are suitable as wedding favors as they can be constant reminders to guests of the bride and groom’s special day. Placed on the table either as pieces of decoration or beer mats, coasters are perfect as branding tools for a product or event.

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!

Simple coaster wedding favors are the uncomplicated ones where wedding pictures of the bridal couple are laminated on them with some wedding details like names, date and venue. These can be made of hard board, thick plastic, paper fiber, cork, ceramic or glass (usually frosted). They can even be fully transparent. Photos of the bride and groom can be easily laminated on the ones made of board, plastic or paper. For the ones made of ceramic or glass, however, usually the photo is placed between the ceramic or glass with a layer of thin hard plastic on the top to protect it.

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.
