Wedding Favors

Why should you purchase favors for your wedding?

When you think about all of the weddings you have attended, try to remember the favors you took home. Maybe you left with a cute bundle of traditional candy-covered almonds tied up with a pretty ribbon, or a nice candle. Guests look forward to seeing what the bride and groom have chosen to leave for them at their place setting. It’s like a special little token of thanks, a small surprise that the guest receives before dinner is served. Whether it’s a nice box of seashell-shaped chocolates to match a beach wedding theme or a small picture frame engraved with the couple’s name, you walk away with something to remember the occasion by.

How do you pick the perfect favor?

Brides are becoming more and more creative when it comes to wedding planning, and choosing the right favor is supposed to be a fun, stress-free event. While wedding favors may not be the first item on your planning list, it’s an item you won’t want to forget. A good idea is to start with a theme. Your theme could be based on the location of your wedding, or you could even create a theme around your wedding colors. For example, if your bridesmaids are going to be wearing pink, you could tie pink ribbon around each favor package, or personalize each favor with a tag that matches your wedding colors. The favors can also be part of your table décor. For example, you could have the place –card holders double as favors. There are so many possibilities and such a wide selection of favors to choose from these days that you are sure to “wow” your guests with something they’ll love to take home with them after your special celebration.

What about favors for bridal showers?

It’s common to hand out favors after a bridal or baby shower. Again, it’s a way to say “thank you for coming” to your guests, and you’re leaving them with a small gift in honor of your special event. There are many cute favors out there to match any shower theme. You can even choose a special favor or gift as a token of appreciation for your hostess.
