Choosing party favors, particularly for weddings, can be quite the undertaking; consider using picture frames.
Issues often arise when selecting a party favor because it is unclear whether or not the guest will actually use the item given away.
Fortunately for party planners this question is answered in the affirmative with picture frames.
Placing a gold, silver, or color coordinating toned picture frames, the size to hold a wallet photo, at each place setting not only alerts your guests that this is an item for them to take home, but adds to the flavor of the table setting.
Whether the dinner is formal or a simple buffet, this is an inexpensive alternative to purchasing extra table decorations and party favors as it can double as both.
Also this is an item that is not ordinarily used as a wedding favor and will be a welcome surprise to those attending the reception.
Unfortunately, it seems rather boastful for the couple who is getting married to place a photo of them inside picture frames.
While the guests may be excited to take the picture frame home, sitting the couple that got married on their desk may not be what they are looking for.
Consider having business cards printed up and placed inside the picture frame where the photo would usually go.
Have a message thanking them for their attendance and providing your contact information.
This is especially handy when the couple getting married is moving to a new home or across the country.
Regardless of what you put inside, picture frames make an excellent party favor for any gathering.
