Thank those that attend your wedding in chillier weather with the following 12 winter wedding favors.
Hot Chocolate on a Stick
Serving hot chocolate to your chilly guests at your winter wedding is so last year. Up your game this holiday season by offering guests their choice of hot chocolate on a stick. Mix and mold chocolate into cute designs and attach them to a wooden stick with your wedding logo and winter wedding hashtag. Then pass out warm cups of milk and watch as they grin when your concoction becomes a fresh individual cup of hot chocolate.
You can also serve up hot chocolate ingredients in a jar or in a clear Christmas tree ornament. Don’t be afraid to be creative with your hot chocolate offerings!
Winter Clothing Accessories
Show them you appreciate them by handing out cute gloves and blankets that are sure to keep them warm when you are at the altar. The gloves and accessories will always remind them of your special day when they wear them too.
Blanket Scarves
Warm blanket scarves passed out during entry to your wedding is a nice touch for those seeking some more warmth as they watch you walk down the aisle in the snow (and they are stylish!) Give the scarves a personal touch by placing a personalized card on them that reads: “To have and to hold…in case you get cold.”
Soup Recipes
Send your friends and family members home on a cold night with a colorful package of dry ingredients and the cooking instructions for a bowl of soup they can easily put together when they get home. Make Grandma beam by offering them the ingredients and instructions to her favorite winter soup recipe.
Candles
Send your friends and family home with a candle that incorporates the scents that both you and your partner love. Personalize it by putting your name and wedding date on it and calling the candle something fun like the “Flame of Love” candle.
If you are holding a winter wedding before Christmas, consider giving everyone a Christmas gift.
Colorful Pine Cone Fire Starters
This is a practical and inexpensive idea that will make your guests smile. Pinecones dipped in beeswax are a great way to get the flames roaring in their fireplaces at home.
Even better? Incorporate the colors of your wedding into their fireplaces, which will surprise when they start their fire. Epsom salt creates a white flame; table salt creates a yellow flame and salt substitutes help spark a violet flame.
Warm Treats
Everyone loves warm cookies, especially after spending a couple of hours outside in the cold. Wrap up warm Gingerbread cookies for each guest. Your guests will also appreciate a warm salted pretzel and other treats too.
Winter Warmth for Those Over 21
Make your adult guests grin with a basket of mini liquor bottles on their tables! Consider mini bottles of Irish Cream to enhance their coffee and keep them warm and toasty throughout the entire reception!
Christmas Ornaments
If you are holding a winter wedding before Christmas, consider giving everyone a personalized Christmas ornament that your attendees will cherish every Christmas.
Personalized Lip Moisturizer
Let your guests know that you are well aware of how the weather can affect them. Combat their chapped lips by giving them some personalized lip balm to remember your nuptials.
Let your guests know you care about them by offering winter wedding favors they will enjoy.
Personalized Winter Wedding Favors for the Wedding Party
Present the groomsmen in your life with personalized flasks full of brandy to keep them warm. Send the ladies home with cute and cozy winter boots and individually-wrapped bouquets of flowers.
Coffee to Go
Send your friends and family home with a hot cup of fresh java in personalized cups or travel mugs. They will appreciate the gesture and the warmth as they head outside once again after your reception.
