Spring is one of the most popular seasons for people to get married. New life is sprouting up all around, following the cold barrenness of winter, and couples who are getting married are starting a new life together after being alone and empty for a long time. Much of the symbolism associated with spring and growing things is perfect to represent this new marriage, so thank your guests for coming by giving them spring or garden wedding favors.

Giving favors has become a traditional part of weddings over the past few years. These small, low cost items are usually given to one’s guests as gifts that say “Thank you” in a more personal manner than the customary “Thank you” cards sent out afterward. These items also make great keepsake items that remind those in attendance of the joy shared with the bride and groom any time the item is looked at in future years.

Spring wedding favors are usually bright in color as an homage to the growth and vibrancy of new life following the stark blacks and whites of winter. Couples who marry in spring commonly use bright colors in their decorations for the same reason. Nearly all Spring wedding favors celebrate young life, one of the things that spring is noted for with animals of all sorts giving birth more in spring than any other time of year and new green plants shooting forth after the temporary death of winter.

Garden wedding favors also recognize the beginning of new life. Flowers of many varied and bright colors are often incorporated into these gift items. In fact, one of the more popular varieties of garden wedding favors is a packet of mixed flowering seeds that the recipient can take home and add to their own flower gardens to have a lasting reminder of the happiness they shared with the couple every time the new plants bloom.

The advent of the internet and e-commerce has made shopping for spring and garden wedding favors much easier for couples. The internet offers many more different items that fit the theme at lower prices than could ever be found in a local bridal boutique. The internet is also a global marketplace, so the actual season where the couple lives is not a factor in what is available because these items are always available somewhere in the world.

Spring and garden wedding favors make great additions to any party that celebrates a new marriage, even if it is the dead of winter. These items are symbols of the beginning of new life, which is exactly getting married is, beginning a new life as one couple instead of two individuals. They say “Thank you” for taking time out of your own busy life to share in the happiness of ours in a manner that a card could never match, and provide the guests with a keepsake to remember the wedding by in future years.
