Asian Wedding Favors

Some of the nicest and most elegant wedding favors you can give are Asian wedding favors.It is not at all necessary to be of Asian descent or culture to gift your guests with these favors.In fact, using Asian wedding favors it doesn’t necessarily mean you are having an Asian-themed wedding either.Here are 10 really wonderful suggestions for you to use in your wedding and to spark your creative thinking…

1. Asian Fans

Asian fans are available in a vast myriad of beautiful colors and patterns; get them in your theme colors, use a solid color like classic ebony black, or get a rainbow of colors so that everyone can have different colors — this will give the right type of wedding a fabulous look to it.Have your names and your wedding date imprinted on the handle for a very personal touch and tie a lovely silk or satin ribbon from the handle (if it doesn’t have one already).

2. Fortune Cookies

Fortune cookies are, by far, the most popular Asian wedding favor, and with good reason.
Gourmet fortune cookies are a very tasty treat when included on your wedding tables and you can turn them into beautiful and lusciously sinful treats by having them dipped in white or milk chocolate and dusted with sprinkles or candied pearls.Pack them in mini take-out boxes and tie with color theme ribbon.

3. Soup Spoons

Asian soup spoons in porcelain china make a stunning gift.Try to find them in your theme colors and fill a tulle bag with candy kisses, nuts or other little treats.Then tie it to the spoon with a personalized satin ribbon.

4. Chinese Tea Cups

Another idea is giving your guests a traditional Chinese tea cup.Find them, if you can, in your wedding colors and fill them with treats and then tie a satin ribbon around it for a festive look. They are a nice gift even if you do not choose to fill them.

5. Incense

Incense may be found in many different and pleasing scents.Place several in an Asian influenced favor box and tie it with red string which symbolizes good luck.Not only that but incense is healthful!

6. Chopsticks

For something different and fun, give your guests a set of chopsticks.Have the Chinese symbol for “double happiness” engraved on one side and your names and wedding date on the other.Then tie them together with silk or satin ribbon or the symbolic red string.
