Wedding favors have become a must-have in weddings yet they are sometimes easily forgotten by guests. It is sad to see all your hard work and careful planning go to waste when you are faced with a pile of unwanted favors at the end of your wedding. Regardless of the cost or type of favour, you can make it special for your guests in your presentation. Read below for a guide on how you can make your wedding favors unique and memorable.
Wedding Favor Packaging
You may be giving something as simple as home made cookies or fresh apples but with the right packaging, your guests will be thrilled and certainly remember to take your favor home with them. For fragile favors such as cookies or cupcakes, try packing them in pretty little boxes with a sweet ribbon on top. Play around with colours for your packaging but do try to make sure they don’t clash with the colors of your favors!
Wedding Tip: Be creative and try using metal canisters with a ribbon, pretty handmade paper or even fabric for a unique packaging your guests will love!
Personalize Your Wedding Favors
Not just with your name but with your guests’ names! Wedding favors are usually just personalised with the couple’s names but for an added touch, personalize them with your guest’s names with a gift tag or card attached to each favor. Your guests will find it hard to forget something with their names on it!
Wedding Tip: If you are planning on giving more expensive wedding favors, save your budget by giving one per couple and use a gift tag to write the couple’s names on the favor to avoid confusion.
Creative Ways Of Handing Out Your Wedding Favors
Often, favors are put on each seat for every guest. To be different, try being a little more creative in how you hand out your wedding favors.
-
Place a pretty basket at your reception table filled with your favors and have your registration helpers hand out a favor to each guest as they sign in.
-
Place baskets of wedding favors in the centre of each table with pretty flowers to let your guests help themselves to a favor. It doubles up as a lovely table centrepiece too!
-
Have your little flowergirls and page boys walk around to hand out favors to your guests after they are seated.
Wedding Tip: If you don’t want your guests to forget their wedding favors, hand out your favors when your guests are leaving and saying good-bye.
The prettiest and best wedding favors can fall short if they are not presented properly. So be creative with these tips and create wedding favors that are not only unique but presented in the most special way!
