Wedding favors are not only a great way to thank your
guests for attending your wedding, but also a way to make your guests remember
your wedding. Although your guests won't think bad of you if you won't have
favors for them, they will most certainly appreciate a small gift from you,
should you have one.
What can you offer as a favor to your guests? Anything!
It can be an edible favor, a drinkable favor, a practical favor, a fun favor,
anything that comes to mind. It is nice to have favors, which will match the
main wedding theme. For example, if you are having a travel themed wedding,
then you could have customized suitcase tags for each guest.
Here are some detailed description on what you could
offer them:
Edible Favors:
Everybody loves candy, so having a small bag of candies
for your guests, is always a good idea. You could have small candy bars or
something more sophisticated, like a personalized cupcake or cake-pop. To make
it even more fun, prepare a candy favor station, so that you guests could
prepare their own favors.
If you and your guests are not into sweets, then prepare
a mix of spices. All of us cook, at some point in our lives, and those spices
could be of great inspiration for those moments. This wedding favor is even
better if you are having a destination wedding, as it will be a way for your
guests to take with them a flavor of the country your are marrying in.
Drinkable
Favors:
Small bottles of alcoholic drinks is also one good idea
for guests' favors, especially if your friends like to party. Find small
bottles of the alcoholic beverages that your friends like, and give everyone
their favorite drink. Want to make it even more fun? Prepare mini cocktail
kits.
As with the spices, when having a destination wedding,
you could have small bottles of the local alcoholic beverage as a favor. When
it comes to weddings in Greece, you could have small ouzo bottles.
Hangover Kit Favors:

The morning after a wedding party can be rough… you know,
hangover and stuff. I always found hangover kits, or emergency kits, as guests'
favors a brilliant idea! Have some aspirin, some band-aids, a lip balm, chewing
gums, a night mask, and anything else you find useful for a hangover or an
emergency. Practical, and with a sense of humor.
Practical
Favors:
It is always nice to be practical, even when it comes to
gifts. But how to be practical with favors? This is really easy. Just think
about what your guests might need for your wedding, that they wouldn't think
about brining themselves. For example, if you are having a beach wedding, you
could have flip-flops and swimming suites as favors for your guests. Everyone
will enjoy the party even more!
Souvenir
Favors:
When having a destination wedding, a souvenir will serve
as the best memorabilia from your wedding. For your wedding in Santorini, for
example, you could have small donkeys or miniature blue dome churches. To make
it even more memorable, have them pre-ordered with your wedding date on them.
If you and your significant other like to travel, then
you could bring souvenirs from the places that you have been. This will make
the wedding favors feel more personal, more you. You will also give your guests
a taste of the places you've been.
Handmade
Favors:

Handmade gifts are always a great idea, so are handmade
wedding favors. Handmade crafts take a lot of your time to make, and by having
handmade favors on your wedding, will show your guests how much they mean to
you. Your guests will appreciate that you took so much time to prepare their
favors, and will cherish them forever.
I can go on and on about what your wedding favors can be.
Whatever your choice of favors will be, don't forget to include a detail, which
will remind your guests of your wedding. Don't be afraid to use your
imagination and think outside the box. Your wedding favors, should be as unique
as you are!
As always, thank you very much for reading! I wish you a
lovely day and an amazing life!
