And then comes the moment to choose the wedding favor.
Should we put much thought into it or not? Does it hold any meaning, or is it simply a tradition that complements the rest of the event? If you believe it isn’t that significant, now’s the time to reconsider! The wedding favor is something that deserves your careful attention. It serves as a token of appreciation or a gift for your guests, thanking them for being part of the most important day of your life.
Often, the design of the wedding favor reflects the theme or style of the wedding and, by extension, your personality. However, the reasoning and method behind choosing a specific favor over another differ for everyone. Some say it should match the color and style of the wedding dress, others suggest coordinating it with the floral arrangements or the table decorations at the reception, if the favors are distributed there. What’s certain is that you should choose something that appeals to you aesthetically, represents you, and aligns with the wedding style you’ve selected.
But since “actions speak louder than words,” here are some ideas to inspire you and help you achieve the perfect result.
Wedding Favor in a Box
A simple, small cardboard box can be much more creative than you think. Decorate it with colorful ribbons or anything else that suits your character.
Wedding Favor in a Pouch
Transform a simple pouch into a small bag and print a message or design of your choice on it. You can also use the pouch to wrap a small plant, tying it with a colorful ribbon to make it a charming gift.
Wedding Favor in a Metal Lantern
Especially for summer weddings, don’t hesitate to choose this unique idea. Elevate the look by adding a bow in sea-inspired colors to the top of the lantern.
Wedding Favor in a Glass Jar
Fill a glass jar to the brim with colorful sugared almonds and decorate it with a vibrant ribbon and a piece of fabric on the lid.
Wedding Favor in a Paper Cone
This option offers plenty of possibilities. Fill the cone with either flowers or sugared almonds—or a combination of both if you want to take on a more challenging project. Then tie the cone with either a ribbon or thin string. Use primarily white with shades of pink or blue for the best effect.
Finally, if there’s a local tradition in your town about what the favor should contain, be sure to follow it. You wouldn’t want to leave any guest disappointed. Good luck!
