Fabulous Favors: Where to Begin
|
• A Personal Touch Favors that express your personalities, passions and hobbies are a great way to add a personal touch to your wedding and to extend a thank you to your guests. If you enjoy cooking, give your guests measuring spoons with personalized favor tags. If you love flowers, why not give your guests a single stem of your favorite flower in a small, tasteful vase. • Complement Your Wedding theme Maybe you want to keep a unified theme throughout your wedding by using favors to accent it. For a classic wedding, consider small votive candles with floral wraps. Or if you’re throwing a “lucky in love” wedding, lottery tickets in personalized holders make fantastic favors. • Sweets and Treats Keep guests happy while they wait for their meal with sweets and treats packaged in any variety of gift box, bag or tin. These favors can be as unique or as traditional as the selection of candy and treats you place inside. • A Memento Some couples offer mementos that remind their guests of the occasion. Personalized matchbooks, notepads, even games like word finds can be memorable keepsakes. Find something that matches your wedding theme for a truly polished wedding. • Clever Favors Favors don’t have to be traditional or conventional — a little bit of humor can go a long way. For example, a cookie cutter can be given with a card saying, "Cut out for each other ". Or you could give out tea packets labeled "The Perfect Blend" with your names printed below. There are a number of cute and funny favors to be given — just use your imagination. • Charitable Donations Instead of buying favors for your guests, consider choosing to donate money to your favorite charity. Then, print up small table cards explaining your donation and its significance. Guests will appreciate this thoughtful gesture. Be sure to take your time when looking for favors. Make a choice that celebrates you as the couple as well as makes your guests feel appreciated.
