Passing the luck onto your wedding guests with elegant wedding favours is a complementary way of acknowledging the ancient Roman tradition that demonstrate your appreciation towards your wedding guests.

An example of traditional yet very elegant wedding favors are the five different metallic colored Jordan almonds wrapped in a circle of shining organza and tied together with a thin ivory colored satin ribbon. Tradition has it that the almonds are used to symbolize the bittersweet of married life. Each of the almonds represents one of each of the blessings to the couple, which are long life, happiness, wealth, fertility and health.

Although everyone has his or her own opinion as to what is elegant or not, an elegant wedding favor idea what stood the test of time is silver bottle openers. In fact, any practical silver item with the date of your wedding and your names engraved on it can serve as an elegant wedding favor.

Popular silver favors that are regarded to be elegant are silver plated picture frames and picture clip stands that can be used as place card holders at the reception. Silver wine stoppers and glass coasters are just as popular. Something other than silver that is still stylish and elegant is a stainless steel key ring with the date of the wedding and the names of the wedding couple engraved on a charm attached to the key ring.

Having elegant wedding favors does not necessarily mean you have style or good taste. Especially if the elegant wedding favors you present do not match the style or theme of the wedding and even worse, can not relate to your own personality! Instead, focus on the style of elegance you want to incorporate with your wedding favors instead of opting for the most expensive favor your budget allows that relate to you personally and the style of your wedding.

You can use a seashell key chain in a sand color for beach weddings for less than $2 a piece. If you opt for a more lacy, traditional Victorian look, an Asian brocade lace covered notebook with a pen will do the trick or a white porcelain place holder vase, both less than $2 a piece.

One last important thing to remember before you go off to choose your ideal elegant wedding favor is to place your order well before your wedding day. This way you will be sure to present your wedding guests with the elegant wedding favors you intended to.
