Why Wedding Favors?

Don't underestimate the importance of wedding favors; the tradition of handing out favors, keepsakes or bombonieres dates back many years.  Wedding favors are a symbol of the gratitude the bride and groom feel for sharing in one of their most important moments of their lives.  Guests cherish wedding favors - it is the universal "Thank You for Sharing in Our Day".

How will your guests remember your wedding apart from all other weddings they have been to?  Quite simply: with the wedding favors you choose to distribute.  Choose a favor that really means something, one that is practical and long lasting or one that suits your wedding's theme.  Give a favor that makes an impression - one that stands out - something absolutely fabulous that won't break your bank.

Elegant? Unique? Trendy? Chic? Romantic? 

When choosing your wedding favors they should reflect your personal style.  Wedding favors will leave a long impression on your guests - one that brings back fond memories of your important day.

Your favors should inspire you and fit in with your style. Start your search for the perfect wedding favor by browsing through magazines, websites, specialty shops, chocolatiers, and gift shops. Gather ideas not only on the favors, but how you would package and display them.  Look for items out of the norm of favors - something that you would love to receive.

Who Receives Favors?

A good rule of thumb is one wedding favor per couple (or family) or per single guest; or if your budget allows, one wedding favor per guest. 

How to Package Your Favors

How you package your favors is just as important as what type of favor you give.  From pretty boxes, to clear cellophane bags, satin, fabric, organza and tulle, - a bride's options are not limited. 

Add a monogram, sticker, or favor label. Your favors should be perfectly wrapped to be presented.

Presenting & Distributing Favors (When & Where)

 How is each favor displayed and distributed?

The most popular way to give out wedding favors is by displaying it on each place setting - if you are giving one wedding favor per person.  Favors can also be used to hold the place cards.  Set them up on the place card table - every guest single or couple will be guaranteed to receive a favor that way.

Another option is to create a favor table near the door, which would allow each guest to take one as they leave.  Set up a frame on the table with the simple words, "Thank You",or "Please Take One".  But just remember when you do this, some guests may take more than one!

Another idea is to hand your favors out yourself as you are working the room and greeting your guests.  You can also have the wait staff present favors on silver lined trays to each table during the dessert course.

Favor Cost

Favors can cost as low as a dollar up to double digits per favor.  Favors are worth the price - remember guests look forward to receiving them.  If you are planning on spending a certain amount on your favors - make sure they are functional, fun, meaningful and won't be left behind.  Don't "cheap" out on your favors - guests DO take notice when a bride does.  Spend what you can afford - and give something that you would appreciate receiving.
