Giving wedding favors have always been part of a wedding. While it may seem little or not as important as any other part of the wedding, giving wedding favors has a far more and deeper meaning than just being little keepsakes. Here is some basic information about the tradition of giving wedding favors.
- Giving wedding favors is not just for keepsakes but they express thanks to the guests for their time, effort, and attendance.
- You can give your wedding favors a personal touch by having them printed with your wedding details. You can either have them on the wedding favor itself, on the ribbons, on the sticker label, or on the paper wraps.
- You have the choice whether to give each guest a wedding favor, or just per couple or per family. There is no rule on this as this is more a matter of a preference.
- There are different ways of presenting favors. You can use them as place cards, use them as escort cards, as centerpieces, or have them given personally by the bride or the flower girl.
- Classic examples of wedding favors include almonds, chocolates, cookies and keychains.
- You can even make your own wedding favors if you know how to bake or make some crafts. This will save you a lot on cost but make sure you have ample time to prepare them or even days close to the wedding day especially if you have edible favors.
- It is best if your favors will follow your wedding theme. Giving palace shaped keychain or a carriage designed candle holder would be great if you have a fairytale themed wedding but it may seem less relevant for a beach wedding.
- You can have wedding favors packed in boxes, in foil wraps, in small transparent plastic bags or present them by themselves.
Giving favors is very similar to giving gifts. You take time to think about what to get, about the color, about the packaging, about your budget, and most importantly, the thoughtfulness behind it is the same. As these are your friends and family members who have gathered to give you their time, blessings and wishes, it would be a lot better than instead of just thanking the guests. They go home with something tangible and something to remember your wedding by.
The thoughtfulness will surely be appreciated, thus, they get to keep the wedding favor, and in turn, you get the satisfaction of giving them a nice gift. Getting wedding favors for your guests is one of the best wedding ideas for a modern wedding.
