Wedding Favors

Wedding Favors are a creative way to thank your guests for their support in attending the celebration of your special day.  They can be an extension of your wedding theme, or a small token that reflects your combined personalities as a couple.  I don't think there's a right or wrong wedding favor, and nowadays, wedding favors aren't mandatory.  

The best way to select a favor that is right for your wedding is to first determine your budget and number of guests.  If you're having a large wedding, it's cheaper to buy the favors in bulk.  Also think about what you might enjoy receiving if you were a guest. Here are a few ideas to consider as you're trying to decide what your favor will be:

• Choose a wedding favor that matches your design (theme) and decor.  If your decor is pink and white, you could set up a candy bar to match those particular hues. 
• Signature. A personalized monogram or wedding logo can be added to just about any party favor.
• Location & Season. Think about the wedding venue or destination and let that be your inspiration for your wedding favors. For instance, if you're having a beach wedding, favors like inscribed seashells or message in a bottle favors come to mind. For an outdoor summer wedding, you could consider favors like sunglasses or monogrammed sunscreen. If your wedding is in the fall, neatly packaged candy apples would be a sweet favor. Crystal bells and candles are fitting for winter weddings.
