Fantastic Favors

Deciding on the perfect favors for your guests can often seem like a very mundane task, but with the following ideas, you too can impress your guests with a wonderful take home gift!

Edible Favors:
There are many edible options for favors including personalized chocolates, boxes of mints, monogrammed cookies and even fruits. Placing the edible favors in the center of the tables or in a basket where guests can grab their share as they leave will allow each person to take home a bit of your wedding.

Personalized Keepsakes:
Some of the more popular non-edible favors for your guests could include keepsake CD’s, photo frames, albums, notepads and matches.  Custom CD’s can be a great way for your guests to enjoy either the music from your wedding day or other songs for many days to come.  Carry out your wedding theme into photo frames or albums to allow guests to display their keepsake for others to see.  Even monogrammed notepads and matches are a great way to say thanks for coming to your wedding.

Scented Options:
Consider candles, flowers and soaps as another favor option available to intrigue your guests’ senses.  Candles can be molded into many shapes and sizes such as wedding cakes, flowers, or brides and grooms, which make great souvenirs.  Giving your guests the gift of flowers can come in the form of wildflower seeds in personalized packets, bulbs in handy gift boxes or even flowers from your centerpieces.  Let your guests enjoy scented soaps with monogrammed letters on them.  You can choose a scent and color which coincides with your wedding theme to carry a consistent image across every aspect of your wedding.

Useful Options:
Why not take your favors a step further and give guests coasters, luggage tags or even bookmarks.  Take the connoisseur route and provide guests with bottle openers or stoppers, mugs, heart measuring spoons, or even coffee scoopers. Each item will allow the guests to not only remember your special day but get use out of their favors as well.

Going Green:
Many couples are looking to add some “green” to their wedding day. Giving guests tree seedlings is a popular option that helps save the environment too! For those on a budget, opt for packets of seeds, you can even stay with your floral theme and hand out seeds that coincide with your wedding flowers!

Donate to Charity:
Rather than spending money on favors, many couples are opting to donate their favorite charity in the name of their guests.
