Your wedding is a day to look forward to and a day to remember for the rest of your married life so you do your best to make it memorable. Easy for you to remember since there will be anniversaries and a forever after for the two of you after you have tied the knot. If you want important people to remember not only being part of this day but that you appreciate them being part of your wedding, give them wedding favors.

Wedding favors are items given to guests after the ceremony or during the reception. Usually, ‘thank you notes’ are already attached to the favors since these items are symbols that you appreciate the attendance of the guests in your wedding. There is a wide selection for items that could serve as wedding favors, but the most popular ones are those that may be utilized by the guests not just as a home decor but for other purposes. Since exotic beach weddings have become popular for modern couples, a lot of exotic wedding favors have been available as well.

Here are a couple of great ideas for exotic wedding favors:

• Sandal wood fans are exotic since they came from far-off places and it is meticulously designed with carvings. They are best for Pirate themed weddings wherein the bride can also carry a fan during the ceremony to match her wedding gown. These fans would also keep the guests cool during the whole event. Different colors of tassels could be attached to the fan in order to give them life and add to their exotic design. The colors or the tassels could serve as a form of luck and could symbolize different things.
• Organic bath soaps are also great exotic favors. Your guests would surely feel pampered and relaxed after using them. You can give away handmade soaps, herbal soaps, or chocolate soaps. They would just feel ecstatic after they enjoy a relaxing bath and then smell like chocolates. They would also feel excited about trying the herbal soaps to aid different skin problems and to feel rejuvenated. You can choose different colors as well as the aroma plus you can have them packed in a distinguished manner. To add an exotic flare to the soap, you can use dried sinamay leaves to wrap them on or even colored Japanese papers then tie them up using red ribbons for a bright touch. You can also wrap them individually and place them on baskets.
• They say that chocolates are good aphrodisiac, so chocolates are good wedding favors in order for the new couple to spread the love. To add and exotic twist, why not make them chocolate truffles? You can choose to put on different flavours of chocolate truffles or just one type to give away. Sesame seeds, coconut, hazel nut, caramel, cinnamon, and mint are good flavours aside from the plain dark or white truffle plus they make them more exotic. You can wrap two or three of these sweets and tie them up with different colors of ribbons. You can also place them on boxes with a customized wedding logo so that the box itself could serve as a favor.
• For Pirate or Caribbean beach weddings, a great idea for a wedding favour would be a treasure chest. You can have small wooden chests made and engrave your wedding logo on top of it. You can place your thank you note inside and add some small seashells and colored stones. For a more treasury box feel, there should me a metal latch and a padlock for the box.
• Asian wedding traditions also inspire exotic beach wedding favors like candles. A Chinese votive candle is a good choice. It is deep red in color and there are two golden tassels braided around it. You can also choose the mini green candles with the scent of Plumeria. As a matter of fact, you can choose candles of different colors and consult with an expert regarding the symbols or meanings of each colored candle. On the back of the ‘thank you note’ that you will attach to the candle, you can have the meaning of the colored candle printed as well. You can use them as centrepieces on the dining tables and have the guests pick one before they leave.

Choose favors that would match the wedding theme in general. Candles for example have an exotic touch to it but are more appropriate if the wedding is at night time. Take note to choose favors that could be used for other purposes so that your guests will appreciate them. And as a golden rule, choose favors that you would love to have for yourself so you can be sure that your guests would be genuinely happy about them.
