Choosing Favors with Your Guests in Mind

A wedding favor is your opportunity to thank your guests for being part of your special day. In that light, a wedding favor should be more than a simple trinket and should be, as much as possible, a thoughtful gift from you to them. That doesnt mean that you need to spend a large amount of time or money on this project. You should give it a little bit of thought so that your special gift does not end up gathering dust or in a trash can.

While your wedding may be the most important day in your life, most likely your guests will not want to commemorate it forever. Your goal, then, in choosing or creating wedding favors, is to find something that will be both a memory of this special day and will be meaningful to your guests.

One way to do this is to personalize each individual gift. If you plan to give framed pictures or albums, consider including pictures of yourself with each guest either from the wedding or from prior to the wedding.

Dont feel that you need to give the same wedding favor to every guest, either. Consider reserving the more expensive favors such as engraved money clips, printed champagne flutes, or personalized picture frames for your immediate family and wedding party, and having a simpler hand-made favor for everyone else.

The truth is, those close to you are the only ones who are likely to keep such things forever or to display them, so its okay to play favorites. Remember, your wedding favors are a gift to your guests, and therefore should be purchased with them, not you, in mind.

Ask if they can create such bouquets, and if they can be ready when you need them.
