Choosing the Best Wedding Favors

Your wedding day is a special day to celebrate your love with your closest friends and family. Wedding favors are a small way to thank your guests for being a part of your big day. When choosing wedding favors, it is important to consider your budget, wedding theme, and guest list.

Wedding Favor Budget

Wedding favors can range in price from a few dollars to over $100 per guest. It is important to set a budget for your favors before you start shopping. If you are on a tight budget, consider choosing edible favors or DIY favors.

Wedding Theme

Your wedding favors should coordinate with your wedding theme. For example, if you are having a beach wedding, you could choose seashell-shaped favors or favors filled with sand from a Rhode Island beach.

Guest List

When choosing wedding favors, it is important to consider your guest list. If you have a lot of young children attending your wedding, you may want to choose favors that are appropriate for children. If you have a lot of out-of-town guests, you may want to choose favors that are easy to transport.
