Personalized coaster sets are unique wedding favors. They are timeless, inexpensive, and highly functional. They can also be customized to fit any wedding. You can choose heart shaped coasters or ones that fit your wedding theme. Your guests will put their gifts to good use and recall your wedding day with a smile.

DVDs and CDs

DVDs and CDs are both unique and creative. They make great wedding favors and are also long lasting. You can make a short video with your fiancée to thank everyone who came to your wedding. Include a short song or poem or even a skit reenacting the day you met. If you are not for this idea, you can make a CD of your best songs. Sit with your groom and make a compilation of your 10 favorite songs. Burn these onto CDs for each one of your guests. You can also create unique DVD or CD covers that showcase your wedding style and theme.

Beautiful love songs can be appreciated by all guests
