Favors


Our consultants have plenty of wonderful ideas for you as you consider favors for friends and family who have come to help you celebrate your big day. A thoughtful gift - a token of your appreciation and affection - can mean a great deal to the recipient. While it is standard to give a gift to those friends who are your close attendants, there are likely to be others to who you'd like to say "thanks so much" for being a part of our lives. Let's start with the obvious - what are you planning to give as wedding favors? More and more brides are choosing to give edible items for favors. Chocolates - personalized with your names and date top the list. Some brides prefer other candies or nuts. Some like decorated cookies, brownies, or bars wrapped in a decorative box. Other couples choose to give bottles of wine - either with their own custom label or with a gift card attached to a fine local vintage. An environmentally friendly wedding theme makes the gift of seeds, potted plants, or flowers are very appropriate. Many couples are choosing to create Cd's of their own special music and giving one to each guest at the reception. Consider seasonal items - tree ornaments for Christmas weddings, mugs and hot chocolate mix for winter weddings, or sunscreen for beach weddings. Choose votive candles and holders for a candle light wedding. Whatever your choice, be sure the item carries a message of thanks from you both. Arrange favors on a special table near the exit as your guests leave or even better, place them at each individual seat for the guest. Be sure to call for even more special ideas.

Happy Planning,

Kim
