Giving out bridal favors at weddings is a growing tradition around the world. Favors make a wonderful method of saying “Thank you” to the guests for attending, a wonderful keepsake that will remind them of the fun they had at this party, and also thanking them for the gifts they bring for the bride.
Popular favors include customized Cosmetic bags, Photo Albums, handbag holders, bottle stoppers, Luggage Tags and more. When planning a wedding or bridal shower, you’ll want to have some great favors for your guests and choosing the right favors could be quite challenging for some brides-to-be. Should you make them yourself? Or buy them? How much favors should you buy? What type of box, bag or ribbon would look best? And lots of other questions. Just remember that your wedding favors should be unique and personalized to your own taste, and also, to complement the theme of your wedding!
We’ve put together some helpful tips on choosing favors and website where you’ll find the most unique favors for any budget and wedding style.
1. Location, style and theme of wedding: Before purchasing favors, consider the location, style, and theme of your wedding. If the location or agenda of the ceremony will be anything except traditional, a theme wedding favor is likely the best option. For example, a beach wedding deserves beach favors. Welcome your guests and thank them for wedding gifts with a seashell.
For outside weddings in warm climates, you'll need to avoid favors that could melt (chocolates, frosted cookies, etc.), unless these are placed in an air-conditioned space for pick-up as guests leave the reception.
2. Time and hassle: If you're thinking about making your own favors, consider your wedding timeline and how much time you have (or don't have) to make and wrap the favors. Instead of going through all the hassle of making your own favors, buy it online and then personalize it to your own taste.
3. Age and Gender: Don’t forget to take the age and gender of your guests into account. While women might love a silk pillow sachet favor, most men won't relate -- meaning you may be stuck with dozens of favors "left behind" at the reception.
4. Cost: choose Inexpensive Wedding Favors. Low budget weddings may require less expensive favors. Choose items that are simple and not too pricey. If you wish to give more expensive, high-end favors but need to find a way to skim the fat, give one gift per couple by placing the favor between their two dinner plates, and tagging it with the couple's names. For your single friends, stick with one gift per person.
5. Decide on Packaging: When wrapping your favors, personalized stickers and ribbons are a lovely touch. Make sure your favors are personalized to your own taste. Choose packaging that coordinates with the linens and flowers. Make sure your favor packaging should make as much of an impact as what’s inside. Try bundling favors with multiple items that contribute to your wedding theme.
6. Select a Personalized Wedding Favor: Most couples want a wedding favor with more meaning. Add your own unique touch to your favors and make sure it reflects your style, personality and vision of the perfect wedding. After all, you are unique. Choose a favor as unique as you are.
7. Present Your Favors Right: Once you've found the perfect favor, and packaged and personalized each one with pretty papers and bows, you'll want to be sure each guest gets her hands on one, right? Decide on an "at the table" or "on the way out" location for your favors. If favors are large or colorful, placing them on the reception tables can take up precious table space or be distracting during the meal. Instead, many brides opt to place large trays (or a table) of favors in a hall or foyer where guests will exit. A tasteful sign -- "Please take one favor per guest with our compliments and thanks!" -- will let reluctant guests know that it's okay to pick up the gifts.
