When you are planning a wedding and reception I think the hardest part is trying to find the perfect wedding favor for your guests. There is choices like practical gifts that they can use at home, crystal gifts or maybe even ceramic wedding favors figurines. No matter which you consider, you’ll find more than enough to choose from.
I’m planning a themed wedding in a country western motif, and I’ve found quite a few exceptional ceramic favors to work with. Favors made of ceramic are perfect for any wedding you want to have. While looking through all the possible wedding favors I spotted an adorable little black ceramic wedding tray made especially for the little tea caddys that came with it. Some of the selection I checked out were tea lights, flower vases, and candle holders that would make awesome ceramic wedding gifts. In fact, there were so many to choose from, and like I said before, gift shopping is the hardest part of planning a wedding, so, I saved that for last.
So, I decided to start with the decorations for my reception tables first. Since this was a country western motif, all my tables were picnic tables with checked tablecloths and a little metal bucket full of daisies was the centerpieces. I gave the barbecue grill place card holders be an extra little keepsake of our reception, to the guests after the party. Since we were having a family cookout instead of having our party catered, I thought the little grills were a nice added touch. To have the feel of the old west, we added little miniature cowboy hats for everyone’s place setting and set out cowboy boot shaped glasses for them to drink from. I chose the really lovely honey pots and dippers, with a heart on the end on their handles, as the ceramic wedding favors for our guests, instead of the tea caddy I saw earlier. I felt they worked out better for a country western theme and I really liked the way they looked. There were also beautiful candle holders that would have made a terrific ceramic wedding for our guests, and I almost decided on that. Not only did our reception tables look like an authentic down home celebration, but all the rest of the accessories we had for our reception was perfect too.
With the haystacks we set up and the white lights twinkled in the trees, it was the epitome of a country wedding. Talk about a western themed wedding cake topper, ours was one of a cowgirl hog tying her groom and probably taking him to the preacher. Our wedding cake topper was the hit of the evening, everyone loves a good laugh. In fact there were lots of laughs through the whole reception, with all the dancing and partying that was going on, we were all having a fantastic time. We even managed to have a hayride arranged for everyone, and that really went over big time, especially with the kids.
All of the people that were in our wedding ceremony got little gifts from us, like our bridesmaids and groomsmen. I bought for the ladies in my wedding party and my fiance chose the guys gifts, which were delightful little ceramic favors for the girls and really neat looking cowboy steins for the guys. As far as a gift for our ring boy and flower girl, we found adorable little tee shirts that said ‘flower girl’ and ring bearer’on them. Everyone seemed to be happy with the thank you gifts we chose for them.
I also bought a few extras for myself, like a sharp little western themed guestbook and pen, picture album and I even ordered a cowboy hat for me and my husband that said bride and groom on them. I thought this would turn out great, but it was way more better than I had imagined, what a super party we had.
