A Bride On A Budget: Wedding Favor Ideas For Book Lovers

How much do you love books? If you love them as much as you love your fiance, definitely think about having something like a library wedding as a theme. There are a lot of Wedding Favor Ideas for Book Lovers, but there's also a lot of wedding inspiration you can pull from a book.

You can decorate with quotes from your favorite book or you can just use pages from books for your wedding flowers. You can give out used books as wedding favors, or you can just pile them up as centerpieces.

Then, at the end of the night, have your DJ or band leader tell your guests to dismantle the book themed wedding centerpieces and take one home. Ah, I'm in love.

Wedding Favor Ideas For Book Lovers

Wedding Coach Bookmark

I love a lot of the wedding favor ideas for book lovers, but I really like this wedding coach bookmark. It's so fairy tale and Cinderella-esque. And what little girl didn't grow up being read fairy tales? This is perfect.

Plus, since it's so thin, your guests can easily stick this in their purses or jacket pockets, so they will definitely take these with them after the wedding.

Photo Booth Bookmark Sleeves

If you are having a photo book at your literary wedding, this favor is so easy. Leave a photo booth bookmark sleeve at every place setting. You can put a cute poem inside, if you want, or you can just let your guests figure out what these are (it shouldn't be that hard).

If your photo booth comes with unlimited photos, leave a few extra bookmark sleeves out by the photo booth itself in case people need more.

Wooden Bookmark

This wooden bookmark is a better gift for your bridal party instead of your entire wedding because it's a little pricey. But oh, it just hit me straight in the heart.

There are a bunch to choose from, buy my absolute favorite is this dandelion wooden bookmark that says, "some see a weed, some see a wish." It caught me completely off guard because I actually forgot that dandelions are actually weeds. I always pick them to wish on them, so it completely slipped from my memory that these are anything but flowers to wish on.

First Lines Of Literature Mug

This is another "wedding party-only" favor idea. This first first lines of literature mug is fulled with the beginning of famous books, like Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and Moby Dick.

It's gorgeous and eye catching, and something your bridal party will really love.

Butterfly Bookmark

Now, back to favors all your guests: Think about this butterfly bookmark. It's very similar to the wedding coach bookmark, except a little less princess-y.

This one does have a huge tassel instead of a delicate ribbon, too, so you can choose which works best for your guests.

Personalized Coloring Books with Crayon Set

At first glance, this seems like a kids' wedding favor, but I really love the personalized coloring books with crayon set for all your guests. Honestly, I love coloring. There's just something so calming and relaxing about it.

So sure, you might want to give out book wedding favors (in the form of your favorite book) to all your wedding guests, but that will be super expensive. Instead of giving them a hardcover, just go with a coloring book. I bet you no one leaves this behind.

Personalized Wedding Theme Notebook

If coloring book isn't exactly the book favor you had in mind, check out this personalized wedding theme notebook.

There are nine different covers to choose from, including one of your state on it, which would have been perfect for us since almost all of our guests traveled from New York to North Carolina for our wedding.

Heart-Shaped Bookmarks

If you're crafty, this one is for you. I can't find anywhere to actually purchase these heart-shaped bookmarks. I can't find a pattern for them either, so you're gonna have to employ your friend with a sewing machine to help you make these for your favors.

You totally should, though, because this pin is incredibly popular on Pinterest so it will probably be very popular with your wedding guests.

Buttons From Book Pages

I love these buttons from book pages. The only trouble with these is they were available on Etsy once upon a time and they're sold out. But buttons are actually really easy to make. I made some at a museum in Seattle a few years ago. I made one with a fish for me and a pizza pie for Pete.

All you need is this button making kit and a few pages from your favorite books or magazines. You'll want to invite a few bridesmaids over to help you make these, but they'll be done in no time.

And, if you really do like DIY, check out what my friend Danielle posted on A Bride On A Budget's Facebook page:

Bookmarks or placeholders seem fun and easy and a great DIY ... they could definitely be creative with photos of the couple, a special saying about love or marriage, just some themed ones with your monogram or logo ... this bookmark favor could be so much (fun)!
