Celebrating your marriage is infinitely more enjoyable when you have your friends and family there beside you. At the end of the night, you want them to walk away with precious memories and a gift that will remind the guests of the wonderful time they had on your Montana wedding day.
There are a million different routes you can take when you're deciding on wedding favors:
- purchase the gift and hand-craft the package according to your colors and your wedding's theme
- you can opt for a complete do-it-yourself gift, which you build from the ground-up and is full of hard work and love for your guests
- distribute a useful item that is personalized with your wedding date and names
- hand out a gift that will aid in guests' entertainment for the night, such as those individual s'more packets above (which the recently wed couple Kari and Brandon Gardner handed out at their wedding in Bozeman, Montana. Many guests roasted the marshmallows over the candles adorning the tables at the reception!)
...and the list goes on. We have compiled some of our favorite Montana wedding guest gifts, which will be published on the blog in four installments throughout the week, to get your creative wheels turning.
Weather- or location-related giftsAre you having an outdoor wedding in the hot sun, or are you nervous that it might rain? Will your guests be forced to trek along a dark path at the end of the night to return to their cars? Help your guests out by being prepared for them, and plan your gifts accordingly!

...or collected in a basket right by the entrance.
Keep your guests cool with personalized fans...
...or keep them shaded with parasols.
Help your loved ones return to their cars safely at the
end of the night with personalized flash lights.Guests will always appreciate the thought you put into the favors they take home at the end of the night, especially if it's one that keeps them dry or cool. Has anyone else seen this type of favor at a wedding? Please share it in the comments!

Tara and Ryan were married in Missoula in September. We posted about their beautiful and simple invitations (see below) a few months back, and wanted to finally share the wedding with you, too!
Downtown Missoula offered a laid-back urban backdrop for the wedding party portraits.

Such an intimate ceremony!
This is one of my favorite couple portraits. Thanks for sharing this cute and simple wedding with us!
