Winter Wedding Favor Ideas

It's a magical time of the year: Snow glistening on the ground; candles twinkling from windows, and logs kindled in fireplaces. Winter is the perfect backdrop for a romantic, breathtaking wedding ceremony, followed by a cozy reception as the snow tumbles down outside. There's nothing quite like a winter wedding, and there are an abundance of winter wedding favor ideas to put the perfect touch on your wedding day.

Every bride wants a fairy tale wedding – whether it's exchanging vows in front of hundreds of friends and family or it's an intimate ceremony – that she, her groom, and the entire guest list will never forget. You can transform your wedding reception into a fairy tale simply and affordably by following a few simple tips.

Traditionally, engaged couples send out ivory invitations or something similar. If you want your wedding invitations to stand out and to acknowledge the season, consider opting for seasonal invitations. For example, if you'll be getting married around Christmas, consider sending invitations with a Christmas theme. Keep in mind, however, that setting a wedding too close to Christmas could cause schedule conflicts with your guests.

Or, if you'd prefer not to have a holiday theme wedding, like Thanksgiving, Christmas or Valentine's Day, you can opt for a winter wonderland theme, with silver, blue, and candles decorating your reception venue. If you're an adventurer at heart, you may even want to hold your winter wedding and reception outdoors, which can make for an unforgettable event, especially if you live in an area where winter equates to cold and snow. Wedding planning for winter nuptials takes time, but when done right, the results are spectacular.

A wedding in the winter will likely save you money since most reception halls aren't as busy during the winter season as they traditionally are during the summer months while your honeymoon flights will likely cost you significantly less if you're traveling off-season. (Bear in mind, however, that if your nuptials are set close to a holiday like Thanksgiving or Christmas, air fares may indeed be higher.)
