There is a lot to planning a wedding and reception, but the one thing that seems to take the longest to decide, is what to get your guests as thank you gifts. There is choices like practical gifts that they can use at home, crystal gifts or maybe even ceramic wedding favors figurines. Whichever you plan on using for thank you gifts, you’ll see that there is a variety of styles for each category.
Even for the country western themed ceremony and reception I’m planning, I have run across great possibilities for ceramic favors for our guests. Favors made of ceramic are perfect for any wedding you want to have. I found these little black ceramic wedding trays and tea caddys that I thought were really awesome. There are plenty of suggestions from candle holders to gorgeous tea lights and even flower vases as ceramic wedding gifts. I made wedding favor shopping the last thing on my to do list, because not only is it hard to choose the right gift, but there is just so much to choose from.
So, I decided to start with the decorations for my reception tables first. My centerpieces fit right in with a country western motif, as I used metal buckets filled with daisies, and used tablecloths with red and white checks over all the picnic tables. The little barbecue grills I picked out as place card holders were so cute, and I thought they would make adorable little souvenirs of our reception for our friends and family to keep. No catering service for us, we were having a cookout for our reception and the little barbecue grill place card holders were perfect for the tables. We had cowboy shaped glasses to drink from and little tiny cowboy hats at each guests place setting to add to the western motif. I chose the really lovely honey pots and dippers, with a heart on the end on their handles, as the ceramic wedding favors for our guests, instead of the tea caddy I saw earlier. I felt they worked out better for a country western theme and I really liked the way they looked. But, I came close to choosing one of the candle holders as their black ceramic wedding because they were just so gorgeous. With all the great decorating accessories at my disposal, our tables had the look of a real country wedding, and the rest of the motif was perfect too.
We had little twinkle white lights hanging all around the dance area, and piles of haystacks scattered about. Our wedding cake topper was not to be believed, it was figurines of a cowgirl roping her man and hauling him to the altar. We all had a good laugh from our whimsical cake topper. In fact there were lots of laughs through the whole reception, with all the dancing and partying that was going on, we were all having a fantastic time. We even managed to have a hayride arranged for everyone, and that really went over big time, especially with the kids.
Our bridesmaids, groomsmen, and all the people that cared enough to be in our wedding party received nice little gifts from us too. All the bridesmaids got super little ceramic favors, and the guys got these awesome cowboy steins as wedding thank you gifts. But for the little flower girl and the ring boy we bought tee shirts that had flower girl and ringboy printed on them. Everyone seemed to be happy with the thank you gifts we chose for them.
I also bought a few extras for myself, like a sharp little western themed guestbook and pen, picture album and I even ordered a cowboy hat for me and my husband that said bride and groom on them. I was hoping a country western wedding and reception would be cool, but I never thought it could have been so fantastic and that everyone would have such a wonderful time.
