3 Tips for Choosing the Best Wedding Favors

19th Aug 2019

Wedding season is in full swing and if you're getting married soon, you're probably finalizing the last few details. One detail many people fail to prioritize is wedding favors -- just like how 25% of the U.S. population wait to buy gifts until the last minute, coming up with ideas for little gifts for wedding guests often happens at the last minute, too. So if you're in this position, here are a few tips to help you choose some great favors for your big day.

Match your theme: One of the easiest places to start when choosing favors is your wedding theme. Whether you have a specific theme, style, or just certain colors you'll be incorporating into your wedding day, your favors should match. For example, if you have a lot of natural elements and greenery, consider something like succulent tealights or mini terracotta pot with a plant inside. Or you can get soaps or candles that match your wedding colors. This way, guests can remember your wedding when the look at the favors.

Go seasonal: Another great option for choosing favors is to choose something related to the season. For example, for a summer wedding, fruit-scented candles or some awesome sparklers could be perfect. Or for a fall wedding, mini apple pies, pie packaging kits, or even a fall-themed plate would work well. Choosing something seasonal is always good because then guests can actually use the items during the following weeks.

Choose something useable: When it comes to ideas for little gifts and favors, it's always a great idea to choose something that people can actually use. While a photo of you and your new spouse may be very nice and appreciated, it's not something people are going to appreciate each and every day. Instead, consider something like mini margarita glasses, trinket bowls, kitchenware, coasters, or other unique small gifts -- these items can even be personalized so that when they're used, your wedding guests will think fondly of your wedding day.

Choosing wedding favors can be challenging, especially if you have to decide quickly. But hopefully, these simple tips will help you choose favors your guests will truly love.
