Ideas for Photo Snow Globes

A snow globe typically displays a scene or character on the inside.

Customizing the image that snow flakes flutter around within a snow globe can make a Christmas decoration, party favor or wedding favor that much more personal and intimate. You can purchase snow globes with a blank slot within it, designed to hold a photo or card of your choice. The snow globe, regardless of its purpose or location, serves as a whimsical and enchanting item within a winter wonderland decor.

Wedding Place Card Holder

For a winter-themed wedding, a snow globe can serve as an appropriate canvas for both a wedding favor and a wedding table place card holder. Instead of a photo, insert a card (cut to fit within the confines of the space for a photo inside the snow globe) that lists the guest's name and table number. The guest will find her specific snow globe to locate her assigned seat and is then able to take the snow globe home with her at the end of the evening and replace the place card with the photo of her choice.

Home Decor

Choose a current photo of your family, a photo of your pets or even a vintage photo of your parents or grandparents for insertion into the snow globe. Place the snow globe on your holiday table as a centerpiece, on a mantle above stockings or as a conversation piece on your coffee table as a part of your winter or Christmas decorations. The personal touch of a photo within it will catch the eyes of guests and give your seasonal decor an intimate touch.

Far Away Friend

For a friend who has moved away to a warmer climate and misses the changing seasons and the crisp winter snow, a personalized photo snow globe will be the ideal gift for her. Choose a photo of the moved-away friend and place it into the snow globe. Mail her the snow globe so she can shake it to see snow flakes once again falling around her, even if it is just her picture. This gift will turn into a treasured keepsake as well as a small touch of home.

Baby's First Snow

Mark a baby's first winter season by adding his picture to the inside of a snow globe. By shaking the snow globe you will always be reminded of the year of the baby's first snow, even when the baby is no longer a baby. This personalized snow globe can also serve as a humorous way to share the milestone season with far away friends and relatives. Insert the baby picture into the snow globe and mail to loved ones so they can see the baby amidst the snow flakes.
