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!

Mexico Wedding Inspiration

As you plan your south of the border wedding fiesta, take some time to draw inspiration from the fiery flavor that encompasses your wedding destination. I've talked plenty about tying your destination into the theme of your wedding--not only is it great a great way to honor and respect the local community, but it's not hard to have fun with a colorful Mexican theme!

One way to get all of your guests optimally excited about the upcoming wedding getaway (like they'll need the help) is to coordinate a fun Mexican themed shoot for your engagement. If you'd rather go another route, bring the memories back home with you and tie in the local flavor for your wedding day pictures.

This inspiration shoot by Couture Events and Joielala is filled with Mexican details and bold colors. See all of the fun and unique photos on their blog!
