Themes are the ultimate way of bringing unity to your wedding preparations. By theme, we're referring to the process of building your wedding around a single unifying element. This element is usually something of interest to the bride and groom. Sometimes it's a hobby they share, sometimes just something they just think would be fun. Regardless, the truly coordinate wedding will utilize decorations by theme, food by theme, music theme, and favors by theme. For our purposes, we'll discuss the idea of organizing wedding favors by theme. And specifically, how you might incorporate wine wedding favors into various themes.

First, there are some couples who have found it enjoyable to use wine itself as the theme of the wedding. These are people who are known wine aficionados, and therefore they want to share this passion with others at the wedding. For these, wine wedding favors only make sense.
But this is not the only context in which a wedding might incorporate wine wedding favors. In fact, any theme which focuses on some kind of element of sophistication and elegance would benefit from these tasteful gifts. For instance, some people have built an art-lover's theme. Some have gone with a medieval theme, while still others, celebrating a Valentine's Day wedding, have a Valentine's Day theme. The key consideration is this: Will our theme suggest romance and style and sophistication? If so, wine wedding favors are appropriate.
One caveat: There are many people who are morally opposed to drinking alcohol in any form. While they are the minority, be sure to ask yourself if you expect that this will represent a large percentage of your guests. For instance, if most of the family is deeply religious and holds deep convictions against drinking alcohol, you might be doing a disservice by having a wine-related theme.

So just what kind of wine wedding favors are available for you to share with your guests? Not many people's budgets will allow them to actually give an actual bottle of wine to all its guests. So instead, go for something more affordable yet just as stylish. One of the most popular items are bottle stoppers. These are affordable, attractive, and come in a host of styles. For example, there are snowflake bottle stoppers in a shimmering gift box; blooming flower stoppers; beach-ball shaped bottle stoppers; miniature bride and groom stoppers; playing card bottle stoppers; and many more.

If you want to try something other than bottle stoppers, there are other popular items: coaster sets decorated with wine bottles; decorative corkscrews; and even wine kits that feature both bottle stoppers and corkscrews.

And even though wine normally suggests a more luxurious lifestyle, these wine wedding favors are anything but expensive. In fact, most of the stoppers and corkscrews can be had for an average of about $2; the kits are, naturally, a couple dollars more, but still not outrageous.
So how do you decide which wine wedding favors to offer at your particular wedding? It's largely a matter of personal taste, but remember that the atmosphere of these favors are different--and should coordinate with the overall theme. For instance, we mentioned the beach-ball wedding favors--which naturally would work well at either a beach-related theme or even a Hawaiian theme. The snowflake stoppers are ideal for a Christmas wedding. So as you're selecting, just make sure your wine wedding favors enhance rather than clash with your overall wedding theme. This will ensure that your guests leave with a gift that is both stylish and memorable.
