In Good Favor

You've always been told that giving feels just as good as receiving. And since you've received so much from the day you announced your engagement, it's now time to show your appreciation toward the guests who will share your special day.

Contrary to popular belief, a wedding favor doesn't have to be expensive to be enjoyed. But the one thing it should be is symbolic. So let your imagination go wild for an added personal touch that your guests will appreciate.

A wedding favor can be almost anything from traditional to trendy. The best way to select a favor that is right for your wedding is to determine your budget, number of guests, your theme and/or style and what you might enjoy receiving yourself. Get inspired with this round-up of ideas:

Food Favors
Jordan almonds; jelly beans; cookies (especially homemade); custom monogrammed truffles; mini cupcakes; jars of jam or honey.

Personalized
Half bottles of champagne or wine; packets of coffee or tea; glass votives; poker chips; matchbooks; bottle openers or pens.

Unique
Lottery tickets; holiday ornaments; CDs of your wedding-day music or favorite tunes; luggage tags; small potted herbs or a packet of seeds to plant; sparklers; mini soaps; chic drink coasters.

No matter which of these you choose, we know that your guests will appreciate the thought you put into your favors as well as the actual gift you've given them. It's something that they will remember warmly & something that they can enjoy for months - and maybe even years - to come!
