For those who have the financial ability to astound the guests by shipping in a range of expensive Sauvignon Blanc then order a case from the French vineyards or stick to local wine presses. Custom design the label of the bottle and have your wedding date and names printed in a stylish font with gold edging. Handy accessories that can be added to the bottles of wine include a pair of slim tall wine flutes decorated with the same gold edging and bearing the names of the recipients. The memento has a lasting impression that is very hard to forget. A unique way to personalize the wine glasses is to have a poem or romantic words engraved on the back of the glass or the wedding vows exchanged by the couple can be inscribed. If the bottles of wine are too costly then the wine glasses will be a good choice of wedding favor
If your imagination is yearning for another great idea that involves wine then try and astonish the guests with some hand-made wine favors. Use old wine bottles and fill them up with some flavored bath salts. If you fancy lavender then make purple crystal bath salts and pair them up with some tiny bottles of lavender bubble bath in a purple gift bag. Other additions that can also be made include candles and gift tags. Otherwise create some body oils and moisturizing creams in your favorite scent and flower. Put the miniature bottles into a raffia basket and wrap them with cellophane and tie them up with a rope or string.
Since sophistication is a great part of drinking wine, share that exclusivity with guests by giving them an impressive wine bottle-opener. The shape of the bottle opener can range from a heart key shape to a beautiful steel or chrome heart. It all depends on your favorite types of bottle openers. Unique types can be made from frosted glass and chrome, well-polished or fine wood and tough materials like brass and gold. Some lovely designs include sea shells – ideal for a beach-themed wedding, Victorian styles, doves and miniature angels. The bottle opener can be paired with a bottle stopper and the two packed in a see-trough glass box personalized with some romantic lyrics, wedding date and has a monogram of the bride and groom’s name. There is no doubt that a lot of table conversations will be centered on the unique wedding favor.
Grapes are a very integral part of wine and they are also good motifs to use as wedding favors. Give the guests a little amazement by blessing them with a miniature basket full of grapes. The basket can have a placard on the top that has the couple’s initials and their blessed day of union. If you are figurine enthusiasts then choose a glass or painted statue of grapes. If you prefer the real McCoy then buy a grape frit basket for each guest. The re-usable basket can be personalized in order to have the memory of the wedding. Some other yummy gourmet baskets are raisin and almond cookies, raisins and nuts or personalized jars of grape jam or jelly. Decorate the gift basket with a trail of a grape vine.
There are a lot more alternatives that can be considered for wine wedding favors. If you have guests that do not take alcoholic wine then give then non-alcoholic wine instead. The advantage of using wine wedding favors is that they can easily join with a theme of a wedding. For example if your wedding has the beach theme then the wine bottle labels can have a trail of seashells on the edge of the bottle. Wine is a celebratory drink which must be shared with friends and loved ones. There is no gift that is greater than sharing happy moments with our family and friends; it is priceless!
