Wedding favors are tokens of gratitude that you give your guests for sharing your wedding celebration. Today's couples opt for
unique wedding favors and
practical wedding favors that can be personalized. Favors can do double-duty as
place card holders, or if larger, can be grouped together as a centerpiece. Wedding favors also add beautiful color to reception tables, and can enhance your wedding theme and decor.
Couples spend on average 2-3 percent of their wedding budget on favors. It is important to know your budget and approximately how many guests will attend your reception, to give you an idea of how much each favor should cost. The fewer guests you have, the more extravagant your favors can be. If you have a tight budget, there are many options for stylish and
inexpensive wedding favors.
When choosing wedding favors, keep in mind the style and mood of your wedding. This depends greatly on the location you choose. For example, the atmosphere at a
beach wedding would be much more fun and relaxed than a more formal wedding held at a city museum. Let your surroundings inspire you.
Many weddings are planned around a specific theme chosen by the bride and groom. Your theme can reflect your interests as a couple. Think about what you like to do together - do you golf, travel, love the beach, listen to music, read or garden together? The best themes share something about yourselves with your guests. Take a look at our
theme wedding favors.
You should also consider your wedding colors when purchasing or making your wedding favors. You may want to use several different colors to beautifully decorate your tables, or you may stick to only one color for a classic effect. Browse our online shop for
wedding favors by color.
Remember, you can add a personal touch to almost any wedding favor with
personalized tags and ribbons, or by making them yourself. Whether your favors are casual or
elegant wedding favors, they become a nice way to thank your guests for sharing your wedding day.

The "green" wedding was a wedding trend in 2007, but it's going to be even bigger in 2008. Many couples are realizing that if we don't take care of our planet, who will? Your big day is full of opportunities for incorporating environmentally sound practices into your special day:
Start your day off with a second-hand dress. Even the most out-of-date dresses, in the hands of a remarkable seamstress, can be revitalized into a beautiful environmentally-sound couture.
When creating invitations, programs, menus, favor tags etc. make sure all are created on recycled paper.
Consider using organic flowers in your bouquet and even biodegradable plates and forks.
For wedding gifts, let your guests know that you would prefer a donation to be made in your name to an environmental cause or ask for eco-friendly gifts wrapped in recycled paper etc.
You can choose organically grown produce, meat products, and coffee products to be served at your reception.
If having an evening wedding, add to the romance and not the emissions by installing power saving light bulbs or by lighting soy candles all around the room.
Ideas for environmentally sound wedding favors include: seed packets for flowers, vegetables or trees, potted plants or flowers, hand made recycled stationery, and organic herbs and teas. Here are some more eco-friendly wedding favor ideas.
Each step can make a difference in this world!
