One of the more pleasant tasks associated with arranging a wedding is deciding on what wedding favor ideas to have for the guests. Fortunately, there are a number of different options which are very easy to arrange at the last minute. This is important because it can take a great deal of stress when you realize the big event is rapidly approaching and these haven’t been organized.
Flowers are always a favorite easy wedding favor idea and also so simple to arrange and then set up on the day. The preparation for flowers is almost non existent other than deciding on what flowers to use which can be ordered reasonably close to the big day.
A popular choice is a red rose and as a symbol of love which is very fitting at a reception. You can simply purchase one for each guest and have a member of the catering staff, a friend or family member place one rose across each place setting after the tables have been set for the wedding reception.
About 75 percent of people will use candy as it is an easy wedding favor that always pleases which can be simply presented in a box. If you prefer, there is an even easier method to give candy which can also save money at the same time. This can be accomplished by using large bowls filled with different types of candy as the centerpieces on each table.
Each wedding guest can then have a small bag or box to place their favorite candy in to eat when they like. Your guests will fill up the presentation containers with the candy in the centerpieces making this an extremely convenient gift which does not involve any wrapping.
An alternative to using candy is a picture frame which can double up as a place holder just for the occasion. For many people that give picture frames as wedding favors, they spend too much effort wrapping them in presentation paper. By using the picture frames as placeholders provides a way around this, making it a gift that does not need to be wrapped.

It is a simple matter of bringing a printer along so the images can be printed off during the reception and are ready when the guests start to leave. An unusual but pleasant wedding favor is presenting each guest with a professional photograph of them arriving at the wedding. It would also be nice if the photographer could bring along a digital projector so all the photos he had taken of the guests could then be shown on a screen during the reception meal.
