Favors given to guests at a wedding are thoughtful gestures and a great way to personalize the event. They can be a small token of appreciation or a clever nod to the location or theme of the celebration. However, there's no need to worry if it's out of your price range or you don't want the added responsibility. However, a wedding favor is a wonderful way to show your appreciation to the guests who have made an effort to travel to your big day from far and wide.
You should remember a few things: Be practical; it's hard to go wrong with practical gifts. Table + Teaspoon CEO and creator Liz Curtis agrees it's a good idea to do anything you can to make your guests more relaxed and at ease over the wedding weekend. She recommends giving guests a favor box filled with little gifts that are both entertaining and functional — think candy, playing cards — at the start of the wedding weekend rather than waiting until the end of the celebration.
Lynette Dow, a famous wedding planner, suggests thinking of a favor that relates to the location of the event, such as a little bottle of maple syrup for a wedding in Vermont or tequila for a wedding in Mexico. She also suggests picking something you and your future husband collect, like magnets or holiday ornaments. If this is the case, Dow means placing a table with wedding favors near the exit with clear signage stating that attendees are expected to take one.
