You have a to-do list that is a mile long when you plan your wedding. Picking a date, venue, menu, and attendant is only the tip of the iceberg. You can’t overlook a special something to show appreciation for your guests. Put time and thought into choosing wedding party favors that show how much you care.
Choose Something that Will Bloom Like Your Love
A symbolic gesture will mean the world to the people who are closest to you in your life. As they join you on your big day, imagine sending them home with something that will grow. Small flower pots with personalized seed packets are adorable keepsakes. Your guests will relive the memories of your wedding day every time they see the flowers blooming in their homes. Choose a perennial seed to give your friends and family a blossom that will return year after year.
Help Everyone Stay Cool
Custom wedding koozies will show how much everyone matters to you every time they chill with their favorite canned beverage. There’s no need for ice when you have a koozie. Bottle koozies offer another option when you want to offer your guests one of each. Koozies come in handy when people are on the go, spending the day on the water, or heading to the beach. They’re perfect to have on hand for guests when someone is entertaining. This favor can also be a go-to accessory any time one of your friends or loved ones feels like relaxing on the patio or out in the sun. Get personal by choosing a color and design that describes you and your partner.
Break Out Sweet Toppings for Breakfast
They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Your wedding party favors can help family and friends to start their morning off right. Purchase small mason jars and fill them with local honey and fresh jam from your favorite produce merchant. If you have a co-op in town, stop in to find out if you can order supplies in bulk quantities to save on your expenses. You’ll also be supporting local businesses. Order personalized stickers to put on the top of the jars. When your guests spread jam on their toast or sweeten their tea with a taste of honey, they’ll think of your thoughtfulness.
Give Your Guests Something to Warm their Hearts
Coffee is the go-to beverage of choice for so many. Pick out a blend that you love and fill personalized bags of coffee that will be waiting at the tables for every guest. A snapshot of you and your partner can be printed on every bag. Don’t forget a customized mug as well so they can enjoy good thoughts about you with every sip. Choose mugs that match the colors of your wedding party. People who care about you can cozy up in the morning or on a cold day with a mug that will last long after the coffee is gone. Consider serving your special blend of coffee at the wedding at a coffee bar so everyone can have a preview.
Make their Eyes Pop with a Delicious Snack
When you think of popcorn, you picture movie night, evenings with the family while playing board games, or snacking at the end of a long day of school. Give your guests something to munch on in a reusable popcorn container that has been decorated to capture your special day. Check out gourmet popcorn flavors to fill your containers. Break out an assortment and watch what happens. You could even make it a wedding game as guests swap flavors. Be sure to include bowls of a variety of popcorn on your appetizer table or for a sweet treat to cap off the night when it’s time for cake.
Wedding favors don’t have to be run-of-the-mill. The best thing you can do is personalize your gifts. Give your guests something they wouldn’t get anywhere else. Your wedding party favors should come from the heart. Explore your options to find something that will be useful. While food and beverages are always appreciated, include a keepsake that commemorates the day you share your nuptials.
