Choosing the Perfect Wedding Party Favors

Wedding favors are tokens of gratitude that you give your guests for sharing your wedding celebration. Today's couples opt for unique wedding favors and practical wedding favors that can be personalized. Favors can do double-duty as place card holders, or if larger, can be grouped together as a centerpiece. Wedding favors also add beautiful color to reception tables, and can enhance your wedding theme and decor.

Couples spend on average 2-3 percent of their wedding budget on favors. It is important to know your budget and approximately how many guests will attend your reception, to give you an idea of how much each favor should cost. The fewer guests you have, the more extravagant your favors can be. If you have a tight budget, there are many options for stylish and inexpensive wedding favors.

When choosing wedding favors, keep in mind the style and mood of your wedding. This depends greatly on the location you choose. For example, the atmosphere at a beach wedding would be much more fun and relaxed than a more formal wedding held at a city museum. Let your surroundings inspire you.

Many weddings are planned around a specific theme chosen by the bride and groom. Your theme can reflect your interests as a couple. Think about what you like to do together - do you golf, travel, love the beach, listen to music, read or garden together? The best themes share something about yourselves with your guests. Take a look at our theme wedding favors.

You should also consider your wedding colors when purchasing or making your wedding favors. You may want to use several different colors to beautifully decorate your tables, or you may stick to only one color for a classic effect. Browse our online shop for wedding favors by color.
Remember, you can add a personal touch to almost any wedding favor with personalized tags and ribbons, or by making them yourself. Whether your favors are casual or elegant wedding favors, they become a nice way to thank your guests for sharing your wedding day.
