A considerate bride and groom may want to think about giving out wedding favors which are practical instead of simply easy, inexpensive or suitable for the theme of the wedding. While it may not seem important, it is nice when your guests have made the effort to attend your wedding ceremony, perhaps traveling some distance, for them to have something of value but useful as a remembrance.

If you make the decision to give out favors which are more practical in nature your guests are more likely to appreciate and cherish the favors which you give out on your wedding day. Unfortunately, so many other wedding favors are only good for the day and while a large bowl of candy will certainly bring enjoyment it won't last more than a few hours unlike the practical wedding favors you will provide.

Some weddings are now featuring the use of coasters as wedding favors which will last for many years and can easily be adapted to suit the occasion with different shapes available. Heart shaped coasters will be ideal because they are romantic and convey the sentiment of love but they are also something your guests can really use. Special images of the themed wedding can easily be placed on the coasters but it is just as easy to only place one image on the coasters and leave the rest blank so each guest can place their favorites on them when they are ready.

Key chains are another example of wedding favors which can be both romantic and practical and heart shaped key chains or key chains in the shape of wedding bells or other items related to love or wedding are a good idea for favors. You can select an elegant key chain which is sturdy so your guests will want to use but that is also very romantic and will remind your guests of your wedding for years to come.

Another very practical wedding favor idea is a gift of candles and whether you choose to give tea light candles, taper candles or candles of another style it is very likely that your guests will be able to use these favors. Most people already have at least a few candles in their house but they can always use a few more because they are very versatile and can be used to set a romantic mood but can also serve other purposes as well. Candles will not be a wedding favor that goes into a bin as they are very practical and will be used at some point.

A small but romantic practical wedding favor comes in the form of a wine charm which tends to be used more at weddings so can be found with a wedding bell or heart shape quite easily. They are also a very practical favor idea because many people will not have this type of item but can really use a set of small charms which can be placed on the wine glass to distinguish one glass from another. Particularly useful for large gatherings, wine charms can actually be used at your wedding and the guests will not have to wait for another occasion to use them.
