Bath and Body: Special Favors For Your Special Day
by Aaron Hu
Who needs Jordan almonds or confetti? Forget about silly jewelry boxes or tacky figurines.You are a bride who wants something unique and practical for your guests. And what's more practical than soap? Everyone can use it and it's always in demand. Here's how to find and use soap as favors for your wedding.
First and foremost, soap comes in many different shapes and sizes. You can find tiny dog shapes, medium size trucks, or large fizzy balls. Needless to say, you might want to use small soaps as favors. However, the larger ones might work well as centerpieces. Be creative with your choices. The soaps don't necessarily have to match the theme of the wedding; they can be completely unrelated. And mix it up. Different soaps can represent different tables, and guests can be seated according to soap style. It's a unique way of seating , and your guests will appreciate it too.
Second, soaps can have varying scents as well. Choose a pleasant scent that will please your guests. Roses are nice, as are jasmine and honeysuckle. If you're not into flowers, pick a woodsy scent, like pine or water. The bonus to picking the latter is that you won't alienate your male guests. And ideally, you can combine the two to find a unique soap with a wonderful smell. You also don't have to rely on natural scents. A cotton candy scent would be great for a Christmas wedding. Don't forget that some of your guests may have allergies to scents; make sure you have unscented versions for them as well, and store them separately so they don't take on the scents of the other soaps.
Soaps aren't the only thing you can use. Bath salts are another way to treat your guests to a clean up. They also come in various sizes and shapes, and scents as well. It can be quite difficult to make your own soap, but making your own bath salts is easy. There are many different recipes on the internet, and you can tailor them to fit your own personal tastes.
Bath oils are yet another option. Also easy to make, you can personalize them to fit your guests. The ladies in your wedding party might like the scent of cinnamon, while the male members of your family might prefer a licorice scent. Make scented oils for all of them and watch the smiles commence!
