How to avoid those tacky wedding favors

It happens to almost everyone, they go to a wedding and come away with tacky wedding favors. What are tacky wedding favors you ask? That's an easy one to answer, tacky favors, include plastic wedding bells, bobble head brides, shot glasses with the happy couple's names and wedding date ( what can you do with one shot glass with another person's name on it?) cookies and droopy chocolate bars. These of course are just a few favors you want to avoid handing out at your wedding.
If you really want  elegant, and  unique favors that your guests will appreciate and not be embarrassed to take home then here are some ideas. Beautiful candles, measuring spoons, coffee favors and one of my all time favorites, soap wedding favors, sachets and bath powder are also part of this triangle.
Guests can take soap wedding favors home and indulge in a heavenly bath or shower. A beautiful candle can be lit for a special dinner or during that bubble bath. Measuring spoons with sweet sentiments engraved on them will be used many times by a busy cook. You can always personalize with elegant tags that can be removed after the wedding.
One thing to remember, give your guests something they will use, let it be good quality and please understand that a favor thrown in the trash can be very embarrassing to you the happy couple.
