Getting Wedding Favors Out of The Way

Article Written By: catwomanseven

When you are in charge of putting together a party, it's the little things that you have to think about in order to make sure the party goes well. In a way, it's a metaphor for life: it's the little things that will derail your biggest plans. It's like if you're going on vacation and you spend five days planning the most perfect route and packing everything you need, it's forgetting that little bottle of sleeping medication that will totally derail your whole trip.

This analogy also works when you are planning a wedding. After six months of planning the biggest, and smallest, details, it's typically the one little thing that you forgot to put on your list, or that you put off to the end, that will cause you the biggest headache. This is why you need to start thinking about wedding favors soon then later.

Wedding favors are exactly what they sound like they are: little gifts that you give to your attendees as a souvenir of your nuptials. Wedding favors can typically be split into two distinct categories: keepsakes and edible favors. With keepsakes you are dealing with things that you hope a guest will hold onto that will remind them of the ceremony or reception.

One of my friends gave out little picture books of all of the important moments in their life together (including a picture of their wedding, which I was impressed that they added in just under three hours). Another of my friends gave out eco-friendly bamboo coasters as well commemorative golf balls (he is an avid golfer).

While keepsakes are nice, unless you get something that you know will be used, such as the bamboo coasters or something else for daily use, they have a tendency to be tossed into a drawer and thrown away during the next spring cleaning. Essentially, your keepsake turns into a waste of money. A cute waste of money, but a waste of money none the less.

That is why many couples decide to go a different route and give away candy based wedding favors. Some companies offer personalized candy favors such as mint tins, wrapped candy, and even mini-gum ball machines. While these keepsakes might be used sooner than later, at least they will be used.

Other couples decide to make their own chocolate candies by simply melting chocolate, putting them in pre bought molds and packaging them in plastic. Because, c'mon, who doesn't like chocolate.

There is a lot of website out there that specialize in offering wedding favors for upcoming nuptials. And make sure to tackle them sooner rather than later so they are out of the way before they become any type of annoyance. You have much bigger fish to fry.
