There are two golden rules when choosing what to give to your guests as wedding favors:

First, you need to give something that strongly represents both of you or what your relationship to each other stands for; secondly, if you don’t wish the favors to represent both of you, it should at least fit or is significantly related to the theme of the wedding.

For those with a practical bent, there’s one additional golden rule: give out wedding favors that you can afford to give.

Tips and Ideas for Wedding Favors

Figurines are one of the most common choices for wedding favors. If you like the idea of giving away figurines but you wish to deviate a little from the ordinary, consider ordering imported or exotic figurines or having one customized just for the occasion.

Food is an increasingly popular choice for wedding favors. It’s even possible that the hotel you’re holding your wedding reception at may even offer to give away wedding favors in your behalf. Usually, they give out cookies tucked inside cute little boxes. If you wish to prepare your own edible wedding favor, however, just make sure that it’s something tiny and ready-to-eat.

Handmade crafts are also a huge hit with wedding guests especially if they know that you’ve worked hard on each and every one of them. Although giving away handmade favors will save you a significant amount of money, this activity is generally time-consuming and stressful, not to mention requiring lots of effort from you and your family. If you’re determined to give away handmade crafts, make sure that you start working at least two months in advance.

Wine is always a great choice for wedding favors, but it’s pretty expensive. Nevertheless, if your budget allows it, you can make the favor even more meaningful by putting more care to your selection. You can choose a French wine, for instance, because it represents the lovely time you had in a chateau at France. You can also choose the exact year and name of wine both of you drunk when your partner made his proposal.

A personal compilation of songs will always be appreciated. To make it even more meaningful and memorable, you can record both of your voices as you introduce each song and explain the significance behind it.
