It's true, you know. Most brides-to-be leave their wedding favor decision until the very end of the wedding planning process, because they see it as a non-essential part of their event. Au contrere, madamoiselles! If you start shopping for wedding favors at the beginning of your wedding plans, those favors can lead you to fabulous wedding themes--ideas you'll want to build your entire wedding weekend around!

Here's what I mean. You're checking out MyWeddingFavors.com, and you come across the sophisticated, elegant "Timeless Traditions" Black-and-White Place Card Holder/Photo Coaster, and it hits you that you want a stunning black-and-white themed wedding.

When you click the L-O-V-E Chrome Letter Opener in the Pillow Box Packaging that features stamps on the front and a love letter on the back, you run with the concept of having a "famous love letters" theme, incorporating love letters from famous people throughout history in your invitations, the rehearsal dinner, your reception decor and more. You might even use parts of actual love letters you wrote to each other in your vows!

And my personal favorite--the Getaway Car Favor Box. Its classic design reminds me of the great celebrity romances of the mid-20th century--Gable and Lombard, Bogey and Bacall, Tracy and Hepburn, not to mention those unforgettable fictional romances like Romeo and Juliet and Scarlett and Rhett. And then there's the greatest romance of all--yours! Your World's Greatest Romances theme would bring the past, the present and the future together at your wedding. Your "save the date" card might have Scarlett and Rhett on it, and your invitation could have a photo of the two of you in the exact same pose. These famous couples sould be part of your place cards and your table cards. And your reception hall walls might be filled with images of all these couples, surrounding you and your guests with unending love.

I hope I've made the case for doing a wedding favor search at the start of your planning, to spark your creativity with the favor of fantastic theme ideas!
