Valentine's Day is synonymous with romance and is a natural choice for your wedding as you celebrate the greatest romance of your life.  Hearts, roses, chocolate – even love itself - are all associated with Valentine's Day, and the choice for Valentine's wedding favors is almost limitless.
 

Six Valentine's Day Wedding Favor Ideas
By Joanna Cali, Westchester Wedding Guide

 

Here is a small bouquet of ideas for wedding favors that celebrate
the spirit and traditions of Valentine's Day:

1. Whitman's Candy Samplers
Whitman's Candy Company (owned by Russell Stover Candies) is the
oldest continuously operating candy company in America, and for
generations, lovers have been giving boxes of their chocolate
samplers for Valentine's Day. In addition to the familiar rectangular
sampler box, each year the company offers their ubiquitous and
lovable heart shaped red package for Valentine's Day. Russell Stover
Candies [http://www.russellstover.com] offers a 3.75 oz. miniature
chocolate heart sampler for under $3.00.

Variation on this idea: You can get empty 1.5 ounce Whitman's Sampler
Heart Tins from Russell Stover [http://www.russellstover.com] for
under a dollar each and fill them with traditional wedding favor
candies like Jordan Almonds.
 

2. NECCO Sweethearts
Created in 1866, NECCO Sweethearts, or "Conversation Hearts," are
those tiny candies imprinted with sayings and were originally
called "Motto Hearts." Consumers buy about 8 billion Sweethearts in
the six weeks before Valentine's Day each year. For wedding favors,
fill heart-shaped favor boxes or baskets with these confections and
rest assured they won't go bad before the wedding – these candies are
reported to stay fresh for at least 5 years!

(If you're interested in special ordering some custom imprinted
Sweethearts for your wedding, you can buy them direct from the
NECCO Company [http://www.NECCO.com] but you'll have to take a full production run of 3,500 pounds!)

3. Sweetheart Roses
Sweetheart roses are less expensive than full size long stem roses and come in a wide variety of colors. Carry a bouquet to each table and personally present each guest with a rose. Or, let the bouquets double as wedding centerpieces and invite each guest to take one.  Each stem should be protected in its own small florists' vial with water to keep it fresh. Check with your local grocer's flower department for availability; sometimes you can save a lot of money going through a grocer instead of a traditional florist.

4. Belgian Chocolate Roses
A long stemmed chocolate rose makes a beautiful wedding favor at each place setting. They usually come with the chocolate flowers covered in colored foil, often red but available in other colors too.  Write your message to your guests on gift label tags with images of roses on them. Punch a hole in each tag, thread a length of satin or lace ribbon through it and attach the tag to the stem of each chocolate rose with a bow.

5. Love Poems
Collect your favorite romantic poems and print them out on parchment
stock. Roll them as scrolls and tie with satin ribbon or raffia. If you have as many poems as you do place settings at your guest tables, each guest can get a different poem. You can lay one at each place, or collect them in a container mixed with dried flowers or other ornaments and let your guests pull their own from the table centerpiece.

6. Globe Amaranth and Forget Me Not Seeds
In the language of flowers, the globe amaranth, or Gomphrena,
represents "unfading love." Forget Me Nots, or Myosotis sylvatica, are a symbol of "true love." For your wedding favors, wrap packets of these "seeds of love" in a burlap pouch with some rose petal potpourri and tie closed with raffia. On a small piece of parchment, print out a message such as "Thank you for joining us as we sow the seeds of our life together," and attach the message to the raffia ribbon.

 How much better can it get?...A gift that both of you will love and that you can enjoy all year.  Get a Satellite for your special someone this Valentine's Day and you'll both glad you did.

For an alternative presentation, place the seed packets in clay garden pots, again with some potpourri. Put clear cellophane over the top, and wrap the bottom in burlap, leaving the pot contents visible.  Tie raffia around the burlap, leaving the ends of the cellophane hidden beneath the burlap.
