The Wine Lover’s Wedding Favor

One of the hottest wedding favor trends is wine-themed gifting. There are personalized wedding favors for wine lovers of all budgets and parties of all sizes. Naturally, it would be costly to give out $10 bottles of wine to all 250 guests, but couples are finding ways to stretch their dollars. For instance, you could give out one bottle of wine per couple, which would cut the cost in half. You can also make your own wine at home using a kit, bottle it yourself and put on your own custom created labels, complete with your names and wedding date. If you’re short on time, then you may want to order a wine accessory favor like a bottle opener, bottle stopper or wine charm.

The best way to approach a wine bottle wedding favor is to go with a local winery, where you will be able to actually sample the wine that’s going into the bottles. As you already know, there can be some really awful wines out there! The last thing you want is for your guests to feel they are sipping on an old shoe! For a list of local wineries and vineyards, you can check out www.allamericanwineries.com/AAWMain/locate.htm or do a quick Google search. Most wineries deal in wedding favor ideas now, offering customized labels and mini bottles as well, but it’s still advisable to ask. Some of the most widely appreciated varieties include blush wines, like White Zinfandel or Rose; white wines like Riesling or Pinot Grigio; or red wines like Cabernet Sauvignon or Shiraz.

To find the best wedding favor wine labels, you can check out the classy selections at www.myownlabels.com. These labels range in cost, from 53 cents for 120 to 50 cents for 300. For an extra $25, you can add your own custom artwork if you’d like. There are other quality sites to check for custom wine label wedding favor ideas, such as www.stoneycreekwinepress.com, www.suvinowinery.com or www.lightninglabels.com. If you don’t mind printing your own labels from your home computer, you may want to play around with free computer software like SmartCode Studio Community Edition (www.soft411.com/company/TechnoRiver-Pte-Ltd/SmartCodeStudio-Community-Edition.htm) or LabelXP (www.bestvistadownloads.com/software/k-free-label-software-t-free-labelxp-download-hpiovtnk.html).

Custom wine aside, there are a number of wine-related wedding favor options for under $3. You can go for custom coasters in your wedding theme and personalize them with a photo insertion of your choice. You can choose wine stoppers in love, beach, casino, vineyard, flower, fairytale, Asian or season themes. Wine pourers also make nice gifts that will keep your guest’s table cloths clean when the wine is out in full force. There are wine collars, coolers and other decorative items that can jazz up the table decor in the home. Some couples opt for personalized wedding favors that contain a sentimental quote, rather than their names and wedding date for a more enduring gift to remember.
