One for Every Guest

Second to dancing, what is every wedding guest’s favorite part? You got it…the wedding favors. Now we all may be counting the amount of customized candy we have consumed over the last wedding season or how your drawer is overflowing with “to have and to hold and to keep your drink cold” koozies, but somehow these are still our favorite souvenirs of a great time spent with family and friends! No doubt, koozies and candy are the go to wedding favors, but if you are looking to get a little creative there are tons of ideas out there. 

Just like any other detail of your wedding, it is important that your wedding favor be reflective of the happy couple’s personalities. If you and your fiancé are wine connoisseurs, then a wine bar complete with personalized wine glasses for your guest and your favorite wine selections would be more than fitting. For those of you going for the southern wedding theme, then perhaps pralines or benne wafers would be a great gift for those guests who appreciate all things southern cuisine. If you and your fiancé enjoy spending time in the garden or on the farm, think about giving your guests flower or plant seeds so that they can enjoy your favorite aspects of the outdoors. From garden seeds to palmetto frond roses, there are ways to customize any type of wedding favors. 

For those of you who share a passion for a specific cause, be sure to share that with your wedding guests. For the couples that have a heart for non-profit organizations or awareness groups, think about making a donation in honor of your guests. If you would like to have something to give your guests look into ordering customized wristbands that are representative of the organization’s cause. Last but not least, always remember to have a wedding photographer capture these details of your wedding day!
