FAVORS are FUN!

Why are favors important? 

Although not necessary, favors can be a great touch to acknowledge your guests for making the effort to attend your wedding and celebrate with you and your spouse. Each person cleared their schedule for the day or sometimes two, bought a gift, got fixed up and many times, traveled to get to your wedding. 


So...what are some favor options? 

Something Sweet

Smores
(Packaged items are easy to take home)


Honey
(With a cute phrase or locally made)


Candy Bar
(Because everyone loves to make their own goody bag)

Source: Mazel Moments

Something Practical

Glasses or Fans
(Great for outdoor weddings)

Coozies
(Customizable-Usable-Fun)

Something Fun

Bubbles
(Dual purpose- the grand exit and to keep)


Plants
(To watch grow as your marriage does)


Something Charitable 

Donation
(Instead of giving an actual gift, spend the favor money on a cause that is important to you)



Just Remember to say "thank you!"
