The preparation for flowers is almost non existent other than deciding on what flowers to use which can be ordered reasonably close to the big day. You might consider giving your guests a single red rose as a favor and this is extremely appropriate because a rose is a symbol of love plus roses do not need to be wrapped. Placing the rose on the wedding reception table where the guest are seated is a nice touch and doesn't need to be done until the last minute. These days the favorite is using candy and almost three quarters of events will use this as an easy wedding favor which can be enhanced by using a presentation tin. A simpler but possibly more interesting method is to present the candy that does away with expensive centerpieces altogether. Now, how simple is a large glass bowl filled with candy going to be in the centre of the table? To complete this idea, a small plain bag or carton can be left for each wedding guest to put their candy into. This really is easy because each guest can choose whatever candy they like and there isn't a single piece of wrapping in sight. Although candy is popular, you may wish to give your guests a picture frame which is longer lasting and more useful. Often when receptions have large guest lists, wrapping wedding favors can seem like a nightmare so needs to be avoided if possible. If you use the frames to hold the place cards however, wrapping will not be necessary. For those of you that like an easy wedding favor that is a little different then why not use a local photographer, you can have each guest pose for a shot which can be presented to them at the wedding reception. It is a simple matter of bringing a printer along so the images can be printed off during the reception and are ready when the guests start to leave. This is a great idea for a wedding favor because your guests will likely be dressed up and will appreciate the opportunity to pose for a professional photo. Many professional photographers have purchased small digital projectors so there is no reason why you couldn't request one at the reception and this way your guests could see the images that had been taken during the day.
