Planning for a Christmas wedding can prove a tricky task, particularly when it comes to purchasing wedding favors & decorations. With most retailers not displaying it’s Christmas stock until well into fall, you may find yourself having to wait until fairly close to the wedding day itself to get together your finishing touches.

Because time will be of the essence when you enter the run up to your wedding day, it will pay to know what you want in terms of wedding favors & decorations. That way you can visit the shops as soon as the Christmas stock hits the shelves & come away with exactly what you want.

Here are some ideas for beautiful Christmas wedding favors:

Tree Decorations

The shops will be full of tree decorations & they make perfect favors as they will be used once a year & treasured as a result.

Tree decorations come in a huge variety of designs, styles & colors. From modern crystal or glass baubles to traditional felt decorations, what you choose will depend largely on the style of your wedding, your wedding colors & personal taste.

You will also find a range of personalized tree decorations from online vendors. From traditional baubles to miniature hanging photoframes, personalized wedding favors make for extra special gifts.

If you are the creative type, why not make your own decorations from felt. Another idea is to fill them with festive scented potpourri & embroider your initials & wedding date on them. Choose simple shapes such as stars, gingerbread men, stockings & angels.

Candles

Candles are very traditional at Christmas & the shops will be full of different types & beautiful holders. Why not give scented candles with beautiful festive fragrances such as cinnamon, ginger or mulled wine.

Traditional Wooden Toys

Look for small wooden toys with a festive theme, such as soldiers, drummer boys or trains. These make beautiful festive ornaments & will raise a smile every time they unpack them at Christmas.

Stocking Hooks

These beautiful hooks will sit on your mantelpiece or book shelf, providing a hook to hang your stocking on. They come in a range of festive designs & make wonderful decorative & useful wedding favors.

Miniature Christmas Trees

Give your guests a miniature decorative Christmas tree which they can use in their Christmas displays.

Grow Your Own Christmas Tree

Visit your local garden center or Christmas tree vendor & ask about getting some Christmas tree seedlings. Pot them in little red pots with a red bow around them. Make sure you include some growing instructions so your guests can grow their own Christmas trees for the future.

These are just a few suggestions for Christmas guest wedding favors & hopefully they will give you some inspiration. Present them in boxes, wrapped with Christmas papers & a big ribbon bow & thank you tag for a real festive touch! It will be like Christmas morning at your wedding reception with all your guests eagerly ripping the paper off to get to the gift inside!
