Christian Wedding Favors for August Weddings

Though not as well known as Christmas, Easter, Ash Wednesday, and Good Friday, the Feast of Assumption on August 15 is celebrated in most Catholic countries as a Holy Day of Obligation. For Christians getting married in August, the feast, a celebration of the Virgin Mary ascending into heaven, provides another idea for wedding favors and themes. Many Christian August weddings are dedicated to the Madonna. Have you thought about inviting her to your wedding?

There is nothing quite as beautiful to a Christian wedding guest as the vision of the Virgin Mary holding baby Jesus. Imagine that vision framed in Murano Glass or gilded in silver. These beautiful Christian wedding favors, given after guests have experienced one of the most traditional of all wedding ceremonies, are certain to be keepers. The image itself and what it represents bestows a certain blessing on the marital union. That blessing extends beyond the day and into the home for those who choose to display their wedding favor for all to see.

There are, of course, many other Christian wedding favors to choose from. Handbag holders, compacts, key chains, and cups are all available with the symbol of the Christian cross upon them. Angels and Cherubs adorn candleholders, letter openers, and curio boxes. Each wedding favor made in honor of Christ is created with meticulous design work and true devotion to the faith.

Other Summer Wedding Favors

For those with different religious beliefs and affiliations, there are of course other choices for summer wedding favors. Sailboats, seashells, beach chairs, and lighthouse lanterns are all common choices. Maybe you’re looking for a beach theme or something seasonal. What colors have you chosen? Is there a musical theme? Shop carefully and be certain the wedding favors match the rest of the package.

From the solemn and traditional to the new and exciting - that’s the range you have to work with when selecting wedding favors. You’re only limited by the scope of your own imagination. Looking for a “total package” for your wedding? Try to think of these inexpensive mementos as a final piece to the puzzle and not an add-on or afterthought. We’ll be writing more about that next week.
