RECEPTION: Treats vs Keepsakes

Q: My fiancé and I are at odds over favors. He wants to treat guests with candy or other edible goodies, and I want guests to have something they can take home as a keepsake. Help!

A: Well, they DO say that marriage is about loving and compromising. But you're in luck - this one's an easy one to compromise on! The easiest solution would be to consider alternating favor treats at each setting. One setting receives a favor box filled with candies, nuts or mints, and the next setting receives a personalized favor bookmark. You could even cater to male and female tastes by giving the men food-related goodies in our tuxedo favor boxes and the women treats in our adorable purse-shaped boxes. Women would also love receiving a personal pampering item, such as a container of bath salts, a candle in a favor tin or a favor compact. If you're worried about guests receiving something they won't like, consider ordering a variety of favors - candies in favor boxes or netting, candles with personalized wrappers, pampering items - and placing them in a bowl or arranging them on our favor display stand and allowing them to choose for themselves.
