Wedding Planning Blog by I Do! Wedding Favors

Trend-setting party planners often recommend the wine wedding favor because it’s so widely appealing, fits with many different themes and allows you the creativity to infuse your own personality, taste and interests into the gift. For instance, you can design your own labels and tags, choose the variety of wine or choose a wine accessory, like a bottle opener, wine glass or bottle topper that fits with your unique wedding theme. Wine favor ideas can range from $0.60 glass photo coasters and $1.95 themed bottle openers to $10 bottles of wine and $30 wine gift sets. No matter what your budget is, you will find unique party favors to make a lasting impression on your guests.

The best way to approach a wine bottle wedding favor is to go with a local winery, where you will be able to actually sample the wine that’s going into the bottles. As you already know, there can be some really awful wines out there! The last thing you want is for your guests to feel they are sipping on an old shoe! For a list of local wineries and vineyards, you can check out www.allamericanwineries.com/AAWMain/locate.htm or do a quick Google search. Most wineries deal in wedding favor ideas now, offering customized labels and mini bottles as well, but it’s still advisable to ask. Some of the most widely appreciated varieties include blush wines, like White Zinfandel or Rose; white wines like Riesling or Pinot Grigio; or red wines like Cabernet Sauvignon or Shiraz.

Carafe Wine Makers of Old Town Alexandria is one place that does custom wedding favor wine labels and bottles. Many couples order the 375-ml half-bottles for their guests, choose their own professional label designs and select a flavor from over 50 wine types, including sweet Gerwurztraminer and a complex, oak Pinot Noir. Carafe has been featured in The Washington Post, the Virginia Vine Spot blog, the DC This Week blog, the Virginia Times, Northern Virginia Magazine and other websites. Their wedding reception party favor ideas make memorable gifts, but you must contact them at 703)739-5850 or carafe@oldtown-va.com for details.
