Tips for Picking the Best Destination Wedding Favors
Reflect the Place
We always want our favors to reflect the destination. Beach wedding favors, for example, offered something tropical, such as flip-flops or fans; while favors in the mountains could include candles, journals, & hot cocoa kits. Take some clues from the place!
Keep it Practical
Guests do travel, often with limited luggage space, so don't pick anything bulky, heavy, or fragile. A light, easily packable, and useful gift is best.
Add a Personal Touch
Personalization, even in a classified manner like a name tag, thank-you note, or little message, goes a long way. It creates a feeling of purpose which makes each guest feel appreciated and is made part of your tale.
Go Eco-Friendly When Possible
Since traveling weddings often involve single-use items, gifts that are sustainable or reusable (like water bottles or bags) will show you care about the environment.
