When you throw an epic wedding, it’s always a nice gesture to send your guests away with a little token to remember the night! There are several factors to consider when choosing the perfect wedding favors.
Reusable or Consumable: The bests favors are ones that can be used again or be consumed! From candles to playing cards, to honey and caramel apples. Take your favors to the next level with personal customization with your names and wedding date, or with your guests names!
On Theme: You should also consider the theme of your wedding or the season. If you have a winter wedding, take home hot chocolate kits would be perfect! Or if your theme is Sin City, a custom shot glass may come in handy.
Useful at the Wedding: If your day will be full of sunshine, providing sun hats can provide a lot of comfort for guests, or if it’s cold, custom fleece blankets will be cozy. If there are any items that can make your guests more comfy at your wedding, it’s also a great opportunity to provide a favor and keep guests happy.
Get Local Inspiration!: If you are doing a destination wedding, or live in an area where they are well known for something (such as Vermont Maple Syrup), find inspiration in the local goods and give those local treats or items as a favor!
While wedding favors are not necessary, it can be a fun way to thank guests for taking the time to celebrate the two of you and an opportunity to enhance their experience. Find our list of ideas below when it comes The Best Wedding Favors!
