When it comes to your wedding favors, there is always the question do it yourself or purchase premade? There are a few things to consider when deciding such as cost, look and most important time. I firmly believe
unless you are Martha Stewart it will be more stressful and time consuming than necessary and when you are planning the biggest day of your life it should be a fun, exciting and stress free. With so many options to choose from why choose to do it yourself? Once you have an inspiration as to what type of favor you want to thank your guests with, it will literally take 5 minutes to order them online! You can use the time you saved to pamper yourself for a job well done, I suggest a massage or pedicure! Now some people may say do it yourself favors are more personal, but what is more personal than inviting your friends and loved ones to share your big day? Ultimately your personality and style will be illustrated through your wedding attire, venue, menu and décor, your favors can only add to these details.
Now for the cost factor, it really depends on what favor you want to give your guests. You can choose a favor to be given to every single guest or choose to give each couple a favor they can use together. If you want to give every guest a favor you can’t go wrong with a personalized notebook and pen set for the cost of just $1.58. What’s nice about this favor is that it’s practical and you can still add your personal touch to it with the many label options. If you decide to go with a “couples” favor why not choose something along the lines of a
Victorian key bottle opener at the cost of $2.91. The nice thing about this favor is everyone will use it and it compliments any wedding day style!
If you still choose to go the do it yourself route, may I suggest you do something that is truly unique like making your own candies and place them in personalized favor boxes or tins. Another suggestion is doing a spice mix and put it in a mason jar that can also be personalized!
No matter which route you choose premade favors or do it yourself, remember to make it unique and fun!
Initially wedding favors were an extravagance at celebrations hosted by Early European upper classes, which had the wealth to provide elaborate gifts to guests as a gesture of sharing their special day. Brides and Groom were considered a symbol of luck, so they would gift the guests at their wedding to pass along the good luck. The tradition of handing out favors has become a common part of a wedding. It has become a symbol of gratitude of from the Bride and Groom in sharing the beginning of their new life together.
Choosing a favor -
When it comes to choosing a wedding favor the options are unlimited! Brides may choose a specific favor based on family tradition, culture, or the couples personalities. Brides often select favors that complement the décor and theme of the wedding itself.
A common denominator among all modern brides, regardless of cultural background or budget, is for the bride to take pride in the giving and selecting the right wedding favor. The majority of wedding details are bound by tradition or budget, but the wedding favor provides the bride a chance to show her personality and really consider what will delight her guests.
A great choice for a spring wedding is the “Love is in the Air” Floral diffuser, your guests will be reminded of your big day, when they step into a room and smell the light floral aroma.
