Wedding favors currently tend towards the personal.
While those couples who could care less regarding such customs, opting to easily go through the motions, will always just pick any mildly ideal trinket for a souvenir, many who still also believe in the idea have translated it in a lot more individualistic terms.

Thus, today’s catalog of wedding favors include many home-made items just like audio compilations of the couples’ favorite songs, specially those played out at the wedding reception, and replicates of their favorite books – right down to gag tees along the lines of “I survived…” or “I went to….”
You can even find those who share autographed framed photos of the marriage ceremony (or themselves, no less).

Perhaps it’s a sign of the times, for it is not only wedding favors that have adopted an informal, even outright laid-back, attitude today but the gifts given by guests are usually of a similar spirit.
Large dice, a deck of cards, as well as other gag novelties are now popularly presented in place of toasters and blenders.
Needless to say, perhaps there is no perfect gift as there is always the matter of one’s own personal financial situation to consider.
Just what could a few bucks get, anyway?
More candles and wine glasses?
Better inject some humor into the whole affair while conserving money.

However, while that was ingenious once, now it is just as unimaginative as the aforementioned light kitchen appliances since everyone’s caught on and it’s being done at wedding after wedding all over the country, if not all around the world!
But just what is going to serve as a memorable wedding gift – and enjoy – then?

The search continues.

On the other hand, obviously, one can basically dispense with the whole tradition and go for ceremonies of one’s own creation!
