Wedding Favor Holders
Wedding favor holders are a great way to make your guests feel appreciated. Everyone enjoys receiving gifts because it lets them know you and your spouse appreciate them showing up at your wedding. Below we take a look at how to choose the perfect wedding favors for your wedding.
Choosing the Right Wedding Favor Holders
First off you want to make sure the wedding favors and the wedding favor boxes match the theme of your wedding reception. If the wedding reception is formal you do not want to choose informal, clear plastic boxes filled with a novelty item. For good ideas check out websites like Inviting Concepts to find the perfect wedding favour boxes.
Wedding favor holders come in a variety of styles such as boxes, bags, tins, totes, and even tulle rounds. Many people choose to go with personalized wedding favor holders and gifts to commemorate their special day.
To help you purchase the right wedding favors it helps to wait until you have a solid estimate of how many people are going to be in attendance. You want to wait until most people have sent in their RSVP so you can appropriately decide how much you are going to spend per person.
Match Your Personality
Your wedding favors should match your personality as well as the theme of your wedding. The people at your wedding showed up because they care about you and like you and your spouse because of who you are. Your wedding favors should reflect who you are as individuals and as a couple.
Get Creative
Weddings are often filled with tradition and don’t give you much room to experiment and tap into your creative juices. Selecting favor boxes may seem like a mundane task but you can really have a fun time deciding on what to put inside each of them. It’s up to you what type of gift you want to provide inside the favor holders. Many couples choose funny gifts that are inexpensive yet are enjoyed by the guests. Candy is also a great way to go, and appeals to all ages.
When to Purchase Favor Boxes
There is no formal rule on when to purchase the wedding favor holders but again, it is best to have an accurate count. Also, if you order them online make sure you factor in shipping costs when ordering. Once you have a rough count of people order them right away and add an extra 10% to the quantity of the order to account for those people who show up but never sent in their RSVP.
Consider His Opinion
Some brides can get carried away and choose gifts that they like. When choosing favor boxes make sure to at least ask your fiancé for his input. More men are getting involved in wedding planning these days, as it is a much more collaborative process than it once was.
Get Help
Once your wedding favor holders have arrived have a wedding favor stuffing party and get your bridesmaids to help out. It is a quick and easy way to get the task done in a short amount of time.
