Wedding and Special Event Favor Tips from NV Me Gifts

Planning your wedding or event has so many intricate details. Choosing and ordering your favors usually don’t make top priority on the list.  Here are a few simple tips to make this task less stressful.

Choosing your favors…. No matter how simple or extravagant, your favor is expected by your guests. It’s your way of saying Thank you to them for taking time to share your day. Think whether you want to tie it into the theme of your event (beach theme, rustic & vintage, glamorous, etc.), something practical (cheese & knife set, salad set, mail opener, etc.) or maybe compliment the colors of your theme (burlap bag filled with candy or coffee beans… vintage, bowls or plates come in an array of colors… elegant, gold or rhinestone accent frames or candles… glamorous). Whichever you choose, it should be a reflection of you.

Next… order your favors! You don’t want to order your favors too late. There is time needed for processing and shipping. Personalized items may take a little longer, as well. On the flip side, you don’t want to order them too soon. They will just sit around, with the chance of being knocked around and moved from here to there, and, possibly getting broken. With timing in mind, you want to order your favors about 2 months before the event.

Ordering the right amount of favors… While it might seem an added expense, ordering a few extra favors is the smart thing to do. You never know if a surprise guest(s) will show up. You may get gifts after the wedding or event that you would like to give a favor in return. Usually, you give 1 favor per couple or 1 favor per single guest. Having to re-order more favors after the fact may result in extra shipping charges and possibly having to meet a minimum quantity for your order.

Wrapping and presentation of your favors... There’s nothing like the “ooh” and “ahh” when your guests receive their favor. The presentation is just as important as the favor itself.  Using a wrapping service may seem pricey. Take into consideration the cost of wrapping paper, ribbons, any embellishments you might want to add for that special touch, and, lastly, but, most importantly, your time it will take to wrap each of your favors.

I hope these tips were helpful. NV Me Gifts offers exquisite favors of the utmost quality, as well as, wrapping services to make that lasting impression of your event. You will be the “NV” of your guests!
