Finding the right wedding favors can drive you crazy, but it’s worth the hunt because they add pizzazz to the look of your reception tables—and guests love them. I know I do, especially when they’re cleverly designed and practical. Top-tier designer Kate Aspen is known for crowd-pleasing favors in incredible gift packaging, and she recently launched 85 new favors for 2009. Did she do it again this year? You tell me!
Here’s one of my favorites! The “With This Ring” Chrome Bottle Stopper. A diamond-cut crystal engagement ring is the highlight, but the real beauty is in the presentation—it opens like a jewelry-store ring box, with the ring displayed on black velvet:

Just as elegant is this “Let’s Celebrate” Champagne Glass Gel Candle. It’s all dressed up for a high-end wedding with a black-satin ribbon and bow and a decorative, silver-finish metal plate that says “Let’s Celebrate!” on the front:

There are also several unique wedding favors with Indian and Far East influences. These stunning Cherry Blossom Glass Coasters are a perfect example:

If you’re having a spring wedding, imagine how beautiful these Butterflies Laser-Cut Favor Boxes will look on your tables. I’m partial to the sage green myself, but they’re both nice. In fact, the two together make a pretty color scheme.

Spring is the perfect time for a vineyard or winery wedding reception— we wine lovers love the outdoors! How about these “Maison du Vin” Wine Cork Place Card/Photo Holders? I like the old-world European winery look:

When I ‘m invited to an outdoor wedding, especially in spring, summer and early fall, I always wonder how hot it will be. Problem solved with this favor—a luxurious silk fan in a laser-cut box that will knock the socks off your guests—if they’re even wearing any!

Okay. One more—and it’s for the ultra-laid-back couple who know they’ll feel just as married with a small ceremony and a big, backyard barbecue, where family and friends can kick back, feast on some great food and celebrate home-style. This is the “Hot Off the Grill!” Mini-Grill Tea Light Holder, which can also hold a sweet treat, a hot dog or hamburger place card (so cute!) or a special photo:

Pretty cool, right? Pretty hot, too! You can find these and many more amazing Kate Aspen originals at MyWeddingFavors.com! Meanwhile, I’d love to know your favorite of the seven!
