Doing Your Guests A Favor: Great Wedding Favor Ideas

May 27, 2010 Wedding Cake Bakery

While sending your guests away with a small memento of your wedding is a wonderful idea, you want to pick the right item. When it comes to wedding memorabilia, that line between darling and kitsch can be a thin one, so focus instead on favors that are practical, tasteful and will continue to remind guests of your wedding for years to come.

Keep reading for great wedding favor ideas that go beyond the tiny piece of cake;

1. Candied almonds. These are a traditional wedding favor used to symbolize the bitter and sweet of marriage. Typically, they are decoratively packaged with a small note including the couples’ names and wedding date.

2. Herb plants. Packaged in a simple pot with a printed favorite recipe, this is a sweet and affordable gift that will continue to grow on your guests’ window sills.

3. Customized brews. Boutique beers with a label dedicated to the bride and groom are a fun, memorable and relatively inexpensive way to mark your special day. Be sure to include at least two bottles, so guests can enjoy their favors together.

4. Custom Koozies. Koozies are those cute beer and beverage cozies that keep your bottle or can cool. This unique favor is a great gift for tropical weddings, outdoor weddings or for the cottage-style couple.

5. Homemade preserves. If you have the time, homemade chutney or jam in jars labeled with your wedding details are a beautiful gift that your guests will both enjoy and use. Include the recipe on a handwritten card.

6. Music. Printed CDs are affordable and simple to produce, meaning you can give your guests a customized CD with all of your wedding music. You can have photo labels are printed or have the discs laser-printed for about $1-$2 per disc.

7. Cookies. Whether you bake them yourself or pick up a batch from a local bakery, cookies are a lovely favor. Wrap them in a light tulle and ribbon and attach a printed card with your dedication details.

8. Champagne glasses. A pair of customized champagne glasses makes a sweet gift for attending couples, but try not to go overboard with the printed calligraphy and always give two glasses in a pair.

9. Custom chocolates. A simply printed, white box containing a few basic, but delightfully rich chocolates is a wonderful favor that anyone will enjoy.

10. Breakfast. If your wedding is a late-night, party affair, try wowing your guests with a care package containing a cup of coffee, a to-go-juice and a tasty morning muffin. They’ll appreciate on the long taxi ride home.

11. Wine. Make your own or have wine made with a custom label. Most small, local vineyards can do this easily and are happy to customize your wine with a special label dedicated to you.

The best way to distribute favors is as part of the tabletop decor. However, if you’d prefer to keep the favors off the table, you can deliver them to guests as they leave. Have a waiter, coat room attendant or volunteer hand them their favor in a gift bag as they leave.
