Wedding Favor Ideas from Favors and Flowers

Favors and Flowers has been serving brides around the world for almost 6 years. Below are wedding favor ideas and tips that might be helpful in preparation for your wedding day.

Start a timeline and set deadlines. Brides usually starts choosing favors 4 to 6 months ahead. (I have brides who orders favors a year in advance but would have a specific date for delivery). Personalized items takes a little more time in preparation. Planning ahead will save you from RUSH fees. Give ample time in ordering your favors.

Know the quantity of wedding favors you need. If you had sent out 100 invitations and are expecting 80 guests, I always recommend to order half or 10 pieces more extra of the quantity. Remember that couples get only one favor, Family gets only one or two favors (If they are 6 you might want to give 3 favors per family). These are a few details that will help you decide on how much favor you should purchase. Some brides who are giving edible favors usually give one per person.

Personalize your favors. Whether your giving edible favors, practical or functional favors, personalizing them makes it extra special. Use personalized ribbons or personalized hang tags or labels to beautify and personalized favors.

As an Alternative to floral centerpieces, group favors together on the wedding table. Prettifying favors may be a bit more
money but in overall, you would probably save more.

Use wedding favors as seating cards. to save a bit on stationery and favor cost. You may order personalized place cards or you can order blank place cards, affix them to the favors, and set in order on a table near the entrance.

Working with a palette or theme in mind is a smart way to plan a large event and matching the wedding favors to the day's color palette will unify the whole wedding.

Pink and Brown color combination is the hottest wedding color combination of this wedding season.

Ribbons are an easy way to work your wedding color palette. You may incorporate these ribbons in prettifying your wedding favors and still be able to use them in your wedding bubbles.

Wedding celebrations winds down with sweet finishing touches. Win the hearts of guests of all ages with a colorful-buffet of sweets. Glass cookie jars and storage jars give display a nostalgic note. Fill them with jordan almonds, lollipops, personalized Hershey chocolate bars or themed inspired chocolates and colorful swizzle sticks. Don't forget to also have favor packaging (favor boxes and favor bags that would match your color theme palette) on both sides of the sweets buffet.

Keep your guests comfort in mind. For outdoor or summer weddings, provide fans for the ceremony. You may either
use palm hand fans or program fans for dual purpose.

The secret to keeping kids entertained is for you to prepare them a box of goodies. You may also want to purchase crayons and coloring books to keep the occupied. It's a good idea to hire a baby-sitter to take them outdoors to play or in a small room to watch movies.
