Choosing Wedding Favors
- Consider your wedding budget. If you are working with a small budget, you do not need to spend a large amount of money on the wedding favors. For inexpensive wedding favors, try buying candy or votive candles in bulk and wrapping them with tulle and ribbons. You can also coordinate these with your wedding colors.
- Determine the number of guests that you are going to have at your wedding, as this will help you figure out if you will have the time to make the favors yourself or if you should do something more simple. If you are going to have a large number of guests, you may want to consider setting up a candy or cookie bar. This requires minimum work, and will allow guests to fill small bags or boxes with treats to take home after the wedding.
- Consider the theme or the season of the wedding. If you have a wedding theme, such as a beach theme, winter theme, romantic theme or retro theme, you may want to choose wedding favors that are tied into the whole theme of the wedding.
- Consider wedding favors that double as centerpieces for the tables at the reception. Clusters of small potted plants, flowers or herbs look great in the center of the table, and guests will love to take these home with them.
