TIPS FOR CHOOSING WEDDING FAVORS

Tip 1. CHOOSE BASED ON LOCATION 

When you host a wedding abroad, especially if your wedding is in Italy, undoubtedly, all your guests are expecting they will get some Italian wedding favors. You, also might want to give an Italian style to your wedding and match a location. If you host a wedding on Amalfi Coast, you probably would like to include .... coasters or Limoncello favors. 

Tip 2: WEDDING THEME BASED FAVORS

We are sure you’ve spent a whole lot of time brainstorming the perfect elements to fulfill your wedding theme. Choosing favors that don’t exactly coincide with your theme might actually do more harm than good by confusing your guests. So, choose the favors that match your Wedding theme. If it's a Rustic Wedding, you might want to have a wooden welcome sign and a Guest book with rustic table numbers and a place cards. 

You should also have favors match the tone of the wedding. Formal weddings call for very elegant favors while casual outdoor weddings may not. If matching favors to the theme is too difficult, try matching colors.

Tip 3: GO LOCAL

Find a local supplier of unique goods and consider giving those to your guests. It may take some time to find local suppliers, but local wedding favors add a nice touch. For your Italian Wedding maybe you wish to have a Ceramic wedding favors, murals and Italian Ice cream corner. 

Tip 4: DOUBLE-DUTY WEDDING FAVORS

Champagne glasses can do double duty as both favors and place card holders. Coaster frames or little picture frames that hold place cards can also work can also be used as wedding double-duty favors. Whatever you choose as your double-duty escort card and favor, know that having a gift attached to your table assignments will give your display a little extra excitement factor.

Tip 5: THINK ABOUT PACKAGING

A favor has to be more than just pretty and useful for the guests. It also has to be packaged well. Depending on how you plan to present your favors and where the wedding is being held, packaging can make a world of difference when celebrating your wedding.

If you plan on having favors placed on each guest’s table setting, be sure that the packaging fits in well with the table décor. Having a destination wedding? Make sure favors are something that can easily be packed by traveling guests and won’t get confiscated by the TSA during their return trip home.

Tip 6: BE EVERLASTING IF YOU CAN

We are big fans of gifts that stand the test of time and that can be used by guests for a while. As a result, we prefer to stay away from edible favors, but know that many guests do love a little something to nibble on the way home from the reception! For that we suggest to borrow Italian tradition of "Bomboniere"

If you are having a holiday themed wedding, try purchasing a house or tree decoration filled with bath salts. Once the bath salts are used, guests can display the favor on the table as a holiday season decoration for years to come. Another popular option is a picture frame favor. Some couples even hire photographers to take photos of guests through the night and develop them in time to hand out to attendees in frames before the festivities are over. Photo boot, can also work. 

Tip 7: CHECK REVIEWS

It’s super easy to search for great wedding favors online, but may be a little more work to do some research to find out if that favor is really as good as it seems. But, it will be so worth it to please your guests.  After identifying what seems to be a crowd-pleasing favor online, take a look at product reviews.

Did it only receive an average of two stars when you thought it would get five? Did guests say that the favor fell apart? Or did the bride say that the favor looked absolutely nothing like the pictures online?

Show that you truly appreciate your guests’ attendance by doing your homework to make sure they will truly enjoy the favor. After all, the last thing you want is to purchase a gift that will fall apart before even leaving the venue. Not only will it appear as you don’t value your guests but it also serves as a poor reflection of your judgment.
