So Many Choices, So Many
Choices…. How do you decide??
Part of any wedding or special life event, is the giving of
favors to your guests. It is your way of saying “Thank You” to your guests for
sharing in your special day!
While, choosing your favors is not as major as choosing a
venue, band or DJ, or your menu, it still has to be done and can become
overwhelming, especially, with all the choices out there.
Here are some ideas I hope will help you.
“Edibles” –Everyone likes a sweet treat!
Candy: Send your guests home with chocolates, hard candy,
peppermints, or even, the traditional Jordan almonds.
Cookies: Whether bakery supplied or homemade from a family
recipe, your guests will be delighted to have a treat made especially for them.
Mini Cakes: Bakeries can make mini cakes for your guests to
take home and enjoy later.
Wrap your treats in organza, an embossed box, burlap bag, or
cellophane with a pretty bow.
“Drinkables” – These would include wine, champagne, even, coffee
beans.
“Earthy” – Individual succulent plant, herbs, green or blooming
plants are both green and long lasting. You could use a ceramic pot to show
them off. Place them in a kraft or clear
bag with the tips peaking through the top of the bag, add some interesting
ribbon or raffia, and your guests will be delighted!
“Everyday” – Your guests can use and enjoy these favors
everyday, reminding them of your day over and over.
“Elegant” – For everything outside the other categories. If
you’re looking to impress, these favors surely will do just that!
Platters – Whether they are Murano style or ceramic, plates,
bowls, or platters will surely send your event to the next level.
Bar accessories – Having a New York Style event? Martini
shakers will be a favor hit!
Wine sets and toppers – Give a set, which includes the wine corkscrew
and topper, or just a fancy topper will be appreciated by those wine aficionados.
A wine aerator and pourer is another option.
Personalized favors are always fun, but, make sure it’s a
gift that your guests won’t mind bringing out when they entertain guests of
their own.
