Coasters Are The Perfect Wedding Guest Gifts at Flashlights

Coaster wedding favors serve the same purpose, to a much smaller commercial end, of course. They help remind the guests of the wedding and even better, of the bride and groom. They are also functional, which means, your guests will be able to use them in their own homes and offices after the party is over. And if they are designed prettily enough, your guests will display them around for quite a while after.

Coaster wedding favors are not as straightforward as you would think. Today, wedding coasters can be simple drink mats to lay your drink upon or items that can magically morph into place card holders or photo frames. The choice is yours!

Simple coaster wedding favors are the uncomplicated ones where wedding pictures of the bridal couple are laminated on them with some wedding details like names, date and venue. These can be made of hard board, thick plastic, paper fiber, cork, ceramic or glass (usually frosted). They can even be fully transparent. Photos of the bride and groom can be easily laminated on the ones made of board, plastic or paper. For the ones made of ceramic or glass, however, usually the photo is placed between the ceramic or glass with a layer of thin hard plastic on the top to protect it.

Coasters as wedding favors are not boring gift items. Gone are the days when coasters were just pieces of hard boards lying around on the table all stained and smeared with what you hope is beverage. Today’s coaster wedding favors are elegant, sometimes exquisitely designed. You will not find it uncommon to see coasters decorated with motifs of entwining vines and hearts with a stamped picture of the bridal couple in the centre. At first glance, they may look like photo frames and it is only on a second look that you will realize that they are in fact, coasters.

Wedding coasters are also perfect for themed, seasonal or location-sensitive weddings. The Tropical Theme wedding, for example, can have coasters with pictures of palm trees, sand dunes or tropical fruits while weddings on the beach can have coaster favors that depict sailboats, sea shells and sandcastles. Fall weddings can have maple leaves or bare trees as their main design while those in winter can have snowflakes and snow-capped trees on theirs. With imagination and creativity, the choices of images on coasters are endless so you can be assured that it will be quite difficult to find coaster wedding favors with boring pictures on them!

Wedding coasters are also easy to present at the reception. With such beautiful designs on them, you will need nothing more than an organza or satin ribbon to tie around your coasters. While giving two coasters per guest is best, a coaster per person is sufficient as well. You have a choice of either putting each coaster at each seat during the reception or leaving them in a pile at the exit for your guests to pick up on their way out.

As wedding favours, you have your choice of photo or printed coasters. Either way, you can be assured that your wedding coasters will be much appreciated by your guests long after your party is over.
