In Search of Children’s Wedding Favors

Every child loves watching soap bubbles form, float, dance in the air and ultimately pop.  I’ve never met one that didn’t, making this a great choice for children’s wedding favors – but be sure your bubble favors are specifically designed for weddings, some of the bubble formula you buy in a discount store can leave stains on formal wear. 

If you’re planning on having the bubbles for everyone to use as you take off on your honeymoon, simply pick up an extra bottle or two of wedding bubbles for each child that you anticipate hosting at your wedding reception for them to use either in your separate children’s play area (a good idea often) or, if your reception is less formal, in your reception (as long as your floors aren’t too highly polished – on a highly polished floor a small spill could be dangerous.  Just use some common sense).  The bubbles from this fun wedding favor for kids will only add to the festive atmosphere!

Plantable Wildflower Favors

Encourage the natural curiosity of the children at your wedding reception by giving them  wildflower favors designed to be buried in their garden!  What a treat for a child! Even better, these fun favors are pretty and intriguing to look at, your younger guests can experience the miracle of the life cycle as this fun, kid friendly wedding favors sprouts their own patch of wildflowers. 

Hand Fan Favors

Hand Fan in SAA Paper

This is a great choice for an outdoor wedding reception on a hot day.  These elegant favors are classy enough to fit with nearly any garden wedding decor.  Yet their practical nature makes them appropriate as a children's favor - especially if the majority of your juvenile guests are young girls who love to dress up and play at being women of society.

Magic Bean Favors

Another wedding favor appropriate for children in much the same way as the wildflower favors is the magic bean favor.  This fun favor comes with an ordinary looking bean, a pack of potting soil, and a small pot in which the children can plant the bean and from which will emerge an adorable sprout sporting the word “Love” on the side – as if by magic!

Playing Card Favors

These are especially good wedding favors for older children.  The playing card favors give them something to occupy themselves with – especially if there are other children they can play with  (there's nothing like a good game of go fish). The beach theme on this children’s wedding favor makes them a novelty for the younger ones.

Wedding Favor Pails

Wedding Favor Pails make great children’s wedding favors if the children attending your wedding reception are younger.    Fill the small pails with chocolates or other small candies for their mother’s to be able to dole out at their discretion.  Meanwhile, most younger children love to spend their time filling and emptying the pails.

Designer Cookie Favors

What kid doesn’t love a cookie? Nearly every kid does, making this an appropriate choice for a children’s wedding favor.  But more, the options available to help you match your wedding theme range from wedding cake shaped cookies to car shaped cookies to flower, seashell… the options are almost limitless.

Other Edible Wedding Favors

Edible wedding favors range from the classic chocolate in a favor bag or pail (as noted above) to personalized tins full of wedding mints, to specialized rolls of candy, to pillows of Jordan almonds, and even to hot chocolate favors – which are an especially good children’s wedding favor for a fall or winter wedding but would be welcomed anytime.
