More Ideas For Mexican Wedding Favors

A few days ago, I did a post which suggested tying in your destination by getting guests authentic Mexican wedding favors, and today I want to post something in the same vein with a few other great favor suggestions!

I read an article recently with tips and suggestions for a Mexican theme wedding that gave some great ideas in terms of favors. One of my favorites was the idea of giving authentic Mexican seasonings in cute bottles. Not only does this idea score major points for uniqueness and creativity, but I am always a fan of favors that are truly usable, and will last down the line after the fun and games of the wedding have ended and your guests have returned stateside. They also suggested wrapping traditional Mexican wedding cookies in tulle and tying them up with different colored raffia or ribbons. Another great suggestion -- small pieces of hand-painted terracotta pottery filled with wrapped Mexican candies, which are now available in the specialty aisles of may grocery stores.

Use your imagination, favors are a great way to show your guests that you appreciate and value their presence, and that you've putting some time into thinking of a way to show them that!

Go Local With Your Destination Wedding Favors

Once challenge that is frequently faced by individuals as they tackle their destination wedding planning is that of favors. Hauling favors from home for all of your guests is cumbersome and often just not feasible; so why not go local? Not only will this take a huge load off your shoulders, but it's also a great way to incorporate your destination and leave your wedding guests with a great reminder of their trip to Mexico that will last them for years to come.

The trick is to do your research ahead of time. There are extensive resources online that will help you discover exactly what you want in terms of favors, as well as where to get. Pre-order the number of favors that you would like so that when the time arrives, the only thing you'll have to do is pick them up!

Let your imagination run away with you on the specifics. From trinkets that are specific to that town in Mexico, to mini bottles of Mexican tequila, to Caribbean pearls for the female guests, you can go as small or large scale as you want, and your guests will have a fun Mexican souvenir regardless!
