It’s a known fact, people love free gifts.  Wedding favors are a unique way of providing guests with a small token of appreciation for attending your wedding.  They also serve as a momento of your special day.  Selections include boxes or tins of sweets, bells, wine, small games, and frames.  The list is endless. 

Wedding favor boxes come in a variety of shapes and colors.  Add a little flare and personalize your wedding favors with a foil stamp, embossed ribbon, customized label or even custom-made chocolates molded into your names and wedding date.  Favors are a also a great way to complement any wedding theme.  There are lots of fun and creative ideas to assure a truly memorable keepsake for your guests.


A lot of thought goes into choosing the wedding party.  Couples tend to surround themselves with the people in their life that mean the most to them.  In addition to being special, this hand-picked group must be dependable as well.  The wedding party is often called upon to assist with certain tasks and details in the overall wedding planning so it’s important to have a group you can count on.  With all this responsibility and invested time, you want to be sure to properly show your bridesmaids and groomsmen how much you appreciate them being such an integral part of your special day.

Personalized gifts are a great way to say thank you.  There are so many bridal party gifts to choose from.  Traditional gifts, like a silver engraved picture frame for her or engraved money clip for him are always a safe bet.  For non-traditional items, she’s sure to appreciate a spa gift certificate and he would definitely love a golf gift certificate.  You can also go with a theme, based on your wedding’s theme or location.  Whatever you choose, the bridal party will be pleased that you thought of them.  Also, when giving thanks, don’t forget the parents, the flower girl and ring bearer, your officiant, wedding planner and any other guests of honor.  A small token of appreciation goes a long way.

If the bride and groom both love to cook, you might consider cookie cutters as wedding favors, or if both are religious and more traditional, candles representing heavenly light and warmth can make great favors as well.
