Wedding Belle Favors launched their 2010 new releases today.

Among the new lineup was one standout:

Also launched was a cute flower pot candle available with pink or lilac colored flower. Another noteworthy addition is the Dress Shaped Manicure Set, which retails a bit too high for my liking, but is adorable nonetheless.

Complete list:
1. “Dressed for Tea” Infuser
2. Flower Pot Candle
3. “Dressy” Manicure Set

Sneak Peak: Cassiani Collection’s “Blessed Events” Favors

Posted by admin on December 27th, 2009

Cassiani Collection will be unveiling some new favors this week, and I have the pleasure of giving you a sneak peek at a few of them.

Their exclusive “Blessed Events Collection” currently only offers candles with crosses on them, but the new additions to this line will include crosses themselves – in hanging ornament form, and key chain form. At a retail price point from $0.89 to $2.95 (and maybe even less,) they’re sure to please hosts as much as guests!
The cross favors are great for religious weddings, christenings and baptisms, communions, and baby showers.

Here’s a look at a small sample:

Cassiani also released several other new favors last week – which are sure to be a big hit. Always a favorite with me, they have added towel cakes to their line, as well as impressive Murano glass wine charms and bottle stoppers, and some cool new soap favors, and promises many more new favors in the coming weeks!

New Wedding Favors & Products for 2010

Posted by admin on December 17th, 2009

The new catalogs are rolling in and a few companies have added quite an offering of new wedding favors. And while the catalogs are also full of other wedding products, my second favorite section to check is wedding cake tops. Unique new items abound this (coming) year!

Hortense B. Hewitt recently announced that they were moving operations to one centralized location. What I also found out is that they’ve made a logical move with two sister companies (one of which is Carlson Craft,) and thus added an expanded line of personalized favors and gifts! Now vendors won’t have to buy from the companies separately, which offers added convenience and renewed brand recognition.

Some of the new Hortense B. Hewitt line include round favor jars, monogrammed water bottle labels, personalized decorative votive wraps, and much more!

Though I was disappointed to see that they’ve discontinued their military cake toppers, and a few popular favor box choices, I do like the new direction they’re going and I’m sure customers will appreciate their expansion of personalized lines.

Another exciting new catalog for 2010 is that from Weddingstar. Several new favors are among the new lineup. They also have some awesome new cake toppers!

Weddingstar sells retail directly to consumers, but they also offer wholesale for other retailers to offer their products. You can see their new offering under “New Arrivals” at weddingstar.com, but you are encouraged to shop around, as many other retailers (like favorbonanza.com,) offer the products at a lower price.

Some of the new Weddingstar products include “An Elegant Ride” Mini Car Candle, “Love Birds” Place Card Holders, several other place card holders, a bridal gown candle, and more.

Lillian Rose isn’t offering much in the way of new favors for 2010, (just adding some favor boxes and name/place cards,) but they have added some cool new cake toppers which are more fun! My favorite is a red convertible “Just Married” car with waving bride and groom. Great for red weddings and more modern couples! They’ve also added some scroll bell cake tops which come in various colors to match your wedding color.

Fashioncraft has added some new wedding favors to their line this week, and will surely be expanding on that offering for 2010. They have consistently added new products monthly. Some of the new favorites are a Chocolate Cake Candle, Fleur de Lis Mint Tins, Damask Mint Tins, and more.

As more catalogs are delivered, I’ll update what’s new for each company!

Dual Purpose: Ornaments as Favors

Posted by admin on September 18th, 2009

With more and more couples looking for favors that their guests will actually use, it’s great to see new products coming on the market that serve a purpose other than being presented and then tossed.

D’Lusso Home Collections released three porcelain ornament favors today which will serve nicely as wedding favors, while also accenting guests’ holiday trees and homes.

While many people just associate ornaments with Christmas, they’re also great for hanging in cubicles at work, from an ornament tree any time of year, in a doorway, over a bed… the possibilities are endless. They’re not just a holiday item – they’re a decorative home item (and year-round, depending on the theme.)

Consisting of an angel, a cross, and a dangling heart, these porcelain ornaments measure around 4″ each and are accented with rhinestones. A beautiful gift for any affair, they’re fabulous as wedding favors, bridal shower favors, or christening favors.

D’Lusso Home Collections carries many well-crafted Italian-style favors for events. From coffee cup sets to ice cream bowls and espresso spoons, their products are well-known in the bridal industry and among bridal consumers.

Other companies, such as Event Blossom, and Kate Aspen also offer ornament wedding favors.

Many other favors can be used as ornaments too – especially bookmarks with tassles. Tassles can be used as a way to hang them, or can be removed and replaced with ribbon or hooks. Get creative and you can make an ornament out of just about anything! Cookie cutters, keyrings, even some bottle openers!

Dubble Bubble Mini Gumball Machine Favors

Posted by admin on August 13th, 2009

An adorable favor for festive events that can fit at black tie weddings too!

Today Fashioncraft released their Dubble Bubble Mini Gumball Machine Favors. Measuring 5″ tall, they’re filled with white gumballs and they’re fully functional! They’re great for reception favors, showers, kids’ birthday parties, sweet 16’s, and other festive events. I like them for “Over the Hill” parties too because they’re black, AND they bring back fond childhood memories from ages past.

Notable: Weddingstar came out with this item first. Originally they were offered in just red, but last year the company added a black version to suit the wedding industry better. (Fashioncraft also offers a red “classic” version today.)

The difference between the two products? Okay, fashioncraft offers about 5 less gumballs. (15g less to be exact.) But the major difference was the price! They retail for $0.50 cents to $1.00 less each! And they come with a “For You” tag (unlike the Weddingstar version which requires you to buy a separate tag and find some way to attach it.) The same exact product (probably from the same exact manufacturing line,) for a much lesser price tag. That’s cause for celebration!

Humorous Soap Wedding Favors Make Guests Laugh

Posted by admin on August 11th, 2009

When I first saw these soap boxes, I burst out laughing! I think these are probably the most unique and humorous product to ever hit the wedding favors market. These are the perfect favor for couples that have a sense of humor about marriage!

The “Wedding Shower” Before & After Soap Favors feature one side of the box with a happy and young bride or groom, and the other side with the “after marriage” version. And they’re still wearing their bridal attire – so does that imply they were both fooling eachother, and they transform into their real selves as soon as the vows end? Maybe. The addage “If only I’d known what I was getting myself into” comes to mind.

Remember – don’t judge a book by its cover. Though there’s an angry-looking, aged, bride or groom on the box, the contents are fantastic: Triple-milled soaps made in the USA that weigh 4.5 oz! But it’s likely your guests won’t be displaying the soap bar itself – more like the hysterical box.

They’re great for wedding reception favors, or just buy brides as silly bridal shower or bachelorette party favors. They’re sure to make your guests snicker, and they’ll certainly get conversations started at reception tables or break the ice at showers.

Buy these and other cool wedding favors at Favor Bonanza.

Fashioncraft Introduces Capodimonte Favors

Posted by admin on July 11th, 2009

capodimonte italian wedding favors Fashioncraft released MANY new favors recently, but most noteworthy were the Capodimonte Italian-style favors.

Capodimonte is a style of porcelain artistry that was first produced in Naples, Italy in the mid 1700s. It became popular among royalty and collectors, and later Italian brides and grooms (and their families.) Now, couples and shower hosts of all ethnicities and denominations are embracing the elegant style of ceramic work for their weddings, bridal showers, baby showers, and christenings.

Fashioncraft is not the first to enter the Capodimonte favors industry. Other importers have been bringing them into the favor world for quite a while, but not at as affordable a price.

Fashioncraft tells me that they will be adding more of this style favor to their line in the future. Stay tuned!
