Giving wedding favors as "Thank you" gifts to one's guests for their contributions to the happiness and perfection of the wedding day is a relatively new tradition when planning a wedding. Favors say "Thank you" much louder and clearer than simply sending out "Thank you" cards to the guests after the wedding is over.

One thing about wedding favors that has helped them gain in popularity is the number of different items available on the market at reasonable prices. Couples usually choose wedding favors that match the decorations and theme they choose for the wedding and reception venue. Choosing the correct wedding favors can make a huge difference in the wedding atmosphere. Couples can create an air of intimacy at the wedding and reception with candle and elegant wedding favors.

Candle wedding favors in conjunction with candles as centerpieces and lowered lighting create a very romantic atmosphere at a wedding reception. As weddings are inherently romantic in nature, the mood is already set at the ceremony and candles can help it to carry over into the reception. The giving of candle favors can help the guests remember the wedding and the happiness they share with the guests and make a practical gift that may prove useful in the future.

There is also a certain elegance associated with weddings that makes elegant wedding favors another item that helps to create an intimate atmosphere. Silver and glass crystal are two materials used in many of the most elegant of decoration items and wedding favors. These items may sound cold, but the years of having them as a traditional element of weddings have given them a warm intimacy that is unmatched by any other substances or types of favors.

Silver or glass wedding favors are often easily personalized, a facet of them that makes them evoke more intimate feelings in the minds of the wedding guests. Personalization of items makes them form more intimate ties to the couple and the wedding in the eyes of the recipients while giving them more value as they are now unique items.

Elegant wedding favors are also a part of symbolism that recognizes the solemnity of the occasion without making the whole event seem colder or more distant. It is sometimes surprising how elegance can affect the atmosphere of an event and make everything a little classier while drawing people closer to one another.

Combining elegance and candlelight can create an atmosphere of quiet intimacy that will make the guests remember attending this wedding more fondly than they might other weddings they attend in their lives because of the warm feelings inspired by the decorations and the candle or elegant wedding favors that are present at the reception.

Couples including candle and elegant wedding favors in their special day draw their guests into a circle of warmth and intimacy that few other elements could match and make this a special event for everyone involved, as well as the bride and groom.
