Guest favors are such a big controversy in today’s wedding realm! Some couples think that they are a total waste of money while others believe that they’re the perfect heartfelt gesture to end the night. While we can completely understand both sides, we have some suggestions on favors that we absolutely love and ones that aren’t worth the effort!
Love These!
Chocolates
Any kind of candy is a great gift because these are most likely to be enjoyed either throughout the night or after everything is over! Plus, it’s always nice to finish off a delicious catered meal with something sweet!
Flip Flops
Coming from a girl, high heels HURT and can only be worn for so long! Giving your gals a comfy pair of shoes to switch into after the ceremony will help relieve their pain and encourage them to get on the dance floor faster!
Candles
Anything that can be used long term such as a candle or bottle opener will remind people of your wedding day for the years to come!
Photo Booths
Photo booths are popping up more and more at weddings! These stations can be fun to use throughout the reception as well as giving your guests pictures that they can keep with them later on!
Avoid These!
Honey
Sugary liquids such as honey or syrup are a big no no in our opinion! These items can be extremely messy and make all of your decor pieces sticky later on!
Koozies
Although it might be utilized during your reception, at the end of the night these are often left on the table and forgotten about. This is the one favor that we see given the most but also the ones that end up being trashed after your wedding is over!
Customized Napkins
These can look adorable at the bar for guests to grab when they get their drinks, but they are literally made to be thrown away!
At the end of the day, think of a wedding favor that will make you both happy. Typically, the couple appreciates the momento more than the guests, so it should be something that you would want to keep for a lifetime. (unless it’s food, then we encourage eating it immediately lol)
