Want to give your wedding guests a piece of you to treasure forever?
No, not literally silly! We’re talking about personalized
wedding favors. Sometimes an inexpensive gift which is symbolic
in nature can be worth more than any expensive gift! Dare to do
something different? Why not have give a personalized slideshow
to each of your guests?
Are you and your spouse computer savvy? If so, you’ll love
this wedding favor idea: compile pictures of you and your fiance
from childhood to now. Select a song that you both cherish. The
song should convey a “soundtrack of our lives” theme.
The song does not have to be your wedding song, although it can
be. Put the images in order from childhood until the time you
both entered one another’s life. Create a slideshow using
a burnable CD on your home computer. What a great wedding favor,
huh? Synchronize photographs in a fashionable way. Go back and
forth between images, him and her, growing until they finally
meet one another. It’s a wonderful wedding favor idea, as
your family members will fawn over how cute you were.
Not only are personalized slideshows romantic in nature, but
they’re very affordable. You can purchase a bulk package
of blank CD’s that you can write your images and music to.
You can also custom create your very own label for each CD case
which states your name and wedding date. Go the extra mile and
place an image of yourselves on the cover too! Your guests will
be very impressed with this wedding favor! It’s incredibly
unique.
You may have family member who are up in their age. They may
not know how to operate a computer, let alone watch a slideshow
from their CD drive or DVD player. For those special guests, you
can give them an actual photo album of the same photographs. Isn’t
that a wonderful wedding favor? You’re giving a piece of
yourself to everyone! Your old photographs can be duplicated at
any photography stand. There are even machines that can duplicate
and restore photographs in your local pharmacy’s. That works
best for those ‘do it yourself’ couples.
So there you have it. You can save a bundle of money by giving
a wedding favor gift that will be cherished. It will join your
family’s home library of DVD’s. It’s highly
unlikely that your wedding favor slide-show will be matched by
anyone else’s wedding favor. It’s unique, it’s
thoughtful, and you’re family will love it!
