The Truth About Favors

By Melissa Franco posted on Saturday, June 27, 2009 @ 8:38 PM - (General)

Let's talk favors. I get asked a lot if they are necessary. The answer is no. They are an additional way of saying Thank You to your guests for attending your wedding. If it is in your budget to give favors, chose a favor that goes with you theme, style, or personality. However, keep in mind that you should only give favors to your guests if 1) they are edible OR 2) they are functional. Occasionally I will see a favor that is neither of these things that goes home with your guests and ends up being thrown away, or is sadly left behind at the reception.

When finding a great favor that works for your wedding and your guests will love the first place I look for ideas is Beau-Coup. They have almost everything and their prices are reasonable. They do have some things that you could make yourself and save some money, so you can use their samples as ideas.

I recently ordered some favors for one of my brides. Some very cute jars of honey with their monogram label on them. Not only did they have the best price, they had the largest selection of designs, plus free shipping for orders over $150 (code: BCFREESHIP). When the honey jars arrived there was a misprint on the labels. I gave them a phone call and the next day the UPS driver was there to pick up the box of misprints and they had a new shipment of corrected honey jars at my door within 7 business days.

So if you are looking for some ideas for favors, check out Beau-Coup.

We gave money to a charity in lieu of spending it on favors for our guests and then gave them a small placard letting them know, it worked well.

This can get very expensive, especially if you have a lot of guests. Weddings are very expensive, I am sure your guests won't be angry not to recieve this small gift. After all, you are giving them a chance to attend a memorable day...

I don't usually reply to posts but I will in this case. I've been experiencing this very same problem with a new WordPress installation of mine. I've spent weeks calibrating and getting it ready when all of a sudden... I cannot delete any content. It's a workaround that, although isn't perfect, does the trick so thanks! I really hope this problem gets solved properly asap.
