According to www.allweddingideas.com, the wedding party favor tradition is rooted in "ancient European history," where wealthy families would give gifts to thank their guests for sharing in special occasions with them. These favors were typically made of gold, silver, precious gems or crystal to symbolize the five most important ingredients in a marriage bond; health, wealth, happiness, fertility and long life. Sugar, a rare substance of great value, was also a popular gift, which is perhaps why the chocolate wedding favor continues to be popular to this day. In modern times, choosing a favor isn't just about thanking the guests: it's about thanking the wedding party too, which is a whole other level of complexity.

The most common gift for your bridesmaids is jewelry; in part because it's hard to fail at this. Women, by nature, love to adorn themselves with unique, varying accessories, such as a necklace, ring, bracelet or earrings. The great thing about these unique party favors is that the bridesmaids can wear them at the wedding ceremony and also wear them to other fancy events in the future. You may want to choose a wedding party favor like the $25 Swarovski crystal monogrammed charm bracelets at www.beau-coup.com, bridesmaid jewelry sets for under $30 at www.sweetmemorybaskets.com, www.silverandjewelry.com for bridesmaid necklaces for $20-50, or www.smartbrideonline.com for a wide range of stunning jewelry/unique favors for your bridesmaids.

For instance, personalized cosmetic bags sell at www.beau-coup.com in a variety of styles and colors for - , depending on the size, or you may prefer a monogrammed toiletry bag for .

An old French drinking song by Pierre Motin went as follows: "Bacchus we thank who gave us wine / Which warms the blood within our veins / That nectar is itself divine / The man who drinks not, yet attains / By godly grace to human rank / Would be an angel if he drank." Some people may like white zinfandel or a fruity pinot grigio, while others may prefer the rich aromas of a pinot noir or a bordeaux blend, but there is a wine variety for almost everyone, which makes a wine-related gifts the ideal choice for a wedding favor. From personalized wedding favor wine bottles to cleverly themed wine stoppers, there are many options to choose from.

The best way to approach a wine bottle wedding favor is to go with a local winery, where you will be able to actually sample the wine that's going into the bottles. As you already know, there can be some really awful wines out there! The last thing you want is for your guests to feel they are sipping on an old shoe! For a list of local wineries and vineyards, you can check out www.allamericanwineries.com/AAWMain/locate.htm or do a quick Google search. Most wineries deal in wedding favor ideas now, offering customized labels and mini bottles as well, but it's still advisable to ask. Some of the most widely appreciated varieties include blush wines, like White Zinfandel or Rose; white wines like Riesling or Pinot Grigio; or red wines like Cabernet Sauvignon or Shiraz.

If you don't want to go through the hassle of tracking down a local vineyard, you can take some comfort in a site like www.weddingwinefavors.com, which offers some well-known brands for your wedding favor wine. Choose from brands like Barefoot, Bella Serra, Beringer, Black Swan, Codorniu, Cook's, Ernest & Julio Gallo, Freixenet, Gionelli, J. Roget, Korbel, Martini & Rossi, St. Julian, Sutter Home, Sutter Home Fre, Turning Leaf, Vendange, Walnut Crest and Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi. These unique party favors cost .99 per 7.5" bottle and, for an additional 25 cents, you can have the brand label removed so you can add your own custom label instead. Some couples save the 25 cents by simply placing their personalized labels on the opposite side of the bottle or opting for a custom "thank you" tag instead.

Custom wine aside, there are a number of wine-related wedding favor options for under . You can go for custom coasters in your wedding theme and personalize them with a photo insertion of your choice. You can choose wine stoppers in love, beach, casino, vineyard, flower, fairytale, Asian or season themes. Wine pourers also make nice gifts that will keep your guest's table cloths clean when the wine is out in full force. There are wine collars, coolers and other decorative items that can jazz up the table decor in the home. Some couples opt for personalized wedding favors that contain a sentimental quote, rather than their names and wedding date for a more enduring gift to remember.

Unique favors for your wedding are subject to many myths. Couples often feel pressured to give all 300 of their guests a gift. Over the years, it's become more fashionable for couples to receive one gift together, which enables the bride and groom to save a little more money or opt for a fancier favor. Secondly, edible favors aren't just popular because they're cheap; they're popular because they disappear! Nothing is worse than finding dozens of favors left on tables at the end of the night. These edible goodies are always picked up in a hurry, making them one of the most useful wedding favor ideas. Lastly, it's a common myth that one needs to spend a lot to show gratitude. Remember, first and foremost, you are spending loads of money on the food and drinks for everyone, so the favor is just an extra.

Dream Green Weddings offers an assortment of unique favors for people planning "green" or "eco-friendly" events. These party planners worry about the amount of waste paper plates generate in landfills. They wouldn't dream of throwing a recyclable in the garbage and they bring reusable water bottles, rather than plastic, everywhere they go. These model citizens take earth stewardship very seriously and inspire others to do the same. Eco-favors available at Dream Green Weddings include tree seed kit favors (American Elm, Blue Spruce, Douglas Fir, Ponderosa Pine, Giant Sequoia, Dawn Redwood, Red Maple); personalized wedding favor flower seed kits; bamboo coasters, candle holders, trinket boxes, place card holders and salad sets; organic chocolate truffles; soy candles; and tea bags. All of these favors can be purchased for less than $4 a piece. "Planning a green wedding should not be a frustrating experience. It should be inspirational, educational, enjoyable, and affordable," said Heather Teague, Founder of Dream Green Weddings. "Our goal is to make it easier for eco-conscious couples to find sustainable wedding specialties that are eco-elegant and ultra-convenient in one online shopping venue that caters to their specific preferences and price range."

At most weddings, the open bar is a highlight of the occasion. Therefore, it would stand to reason that you really can't go wrong with personalized wedding favors like custom-labeled bottles of wine. Even if your guests don't drink, they likely entertain friends or family who do, which makes this an incredibly practical gift. "Personalized wine bottles are among the favorite wedding party favors we offer clients," says Bill Brown, owner of the LA gift store William Ernest Brown. He adds that custom-labeled local micro-brew beer is another one of the trendier, unique favors.

At the end of the day, remember that unique favors count on presentation to come off properly. If you have an Asian theme, then try Chinese take-out boxes. If you're going Cinderella/Princess theme, use tulle and pearls or ribbon to wrap up your gifts. If you're going eco-conscious, try a burlap sack or a reusable pot. If you're a history buff, wrap your gifts up in old maps. You might want to add personalized wedding favor labels for the full effect. On the tag, you can put your names, the date, a special message or even just a monogram. Then decide whether you want waiters to distribute favors, place them on a table near the door or have the favors placed right on the dining tables.

Being a professional, Matthew McMillan only recommends the best cure possible for the cure for genital warts. His methods are highly recommended and information of gential warts removal can be found at TreatmentForGenitalWarts.com.
