In recent years, "theme" weddings have become a great way to express the personalities of the bride and groom. We see all kinds of them: weddings at sea, costume weddings of every stripe, and candlelit night weddings in the dead of winter. I like to think of myself as a pretty independent, outside-the-box kind of person, but let's face it; when I imagine the perfect wedding for myself, at least it's outdoors on a beautiful spring morning. I don't think I'm alone in allowing myself a little bit of old-fashioned sentimentality, and this article is for those of you who feel the same way.

Whether your wedding is very traditional or decidedly unique, the ever-popular outdoor spring wedding is a natural choice. A beautiful garden in May could feature the bride in white and the groom in a nice tuxedo, or both in Victorian attire, or in Lord of the Rings elf costumes. The sunny, flowery atmosphere gives cheer and joy to any such happy gathering, and guests will always feel comfortable.

There are a few questions you should ask yourself before you start looking for wedding favors. Some of these questions include: How many people will be attending? This will affect how much you will be able to spend on each person's favors. How much do you want to spend on all the favors combined? It's a good idea to pick a number ahead of time and really try to stick to it; otherwise you might end up spending much more than you wanted to. Do you want to give out one more expensive gift, or a few smaller gifts? Again, this is important to decide on ahead of time if you want to stay on budget. How important is the packaging/ presentation of the favors? Sometimes the gift bag or box can be almost as expensive as the gift itself, so try to plan ahead for that. Will the favors have a particular theme? Even if you don't have a set theme, you might want to opt for something springy or garden-themed to suit the season. (Think flowers, butterflies, ladybugs, etc.)

The important thing in choosing garden wedding favors is to think about what you would like your guests to literally take away from your happy event. Perhaps imagine what you yourself would want to bring home. A safe choice like chocolate could make almost everyone happy, or something unique to your theme would really help them remember the day. A mixture of both would be a good plan for more "unique" wedding themes; if you're getting married on an airplane, you might choose a flight-themed gift as well as something delicious. Other spring wedding favors might focus on the particular people involved, such as miniature space shuttles for a wedding of astronauts, or pens if the bride or groom is a writer.

Remember, if you don't find exactly what you're looking for and you have some time to spare before the big day, you can always take a look at your local craft store for inspiration. You may be able to put together a gift or custom wrapping for a fraction of the price (and no shipping costs!) Plus, your guests are certain to appreciate the personal touch. It could even be something as simple as hand-stamping a pretty design on a personalized card or tucking a few pretty dried or fabric flowers in with the gifts.

Clearly, for those interested in the joyful tradition of a spring garden wedding, there is no shortage of ideas for garden wedding favors from the whimsical to the tasty to the useful. A variety of well-chosen spring wedding favors or garden wedding favors for your guests will surely do a great deal to please beloved friends and family.
