Wedding Favors

Having wedding favors is not required but it is a fun way to say "Thank You!" to your guests.

When selecting wedding favors, use your imagination. If you are having a theme wedding, find favors that go with the theme. For instance: if you are going to Hawaii for your honeymoon, give out leis.

Be creative! The choice is yours.Looking for great ideas for wedding favors? Here are a few suggestions:

Favor Alternatives

Many brides have gone green with their wedding and in doing so have subsituted the wedding favor. In lieu of favors, make a donation to the charity of your choice. Many will provide table cards to announce the donation so that guests can learn of your generosity! Or ask your stationer if she can have printed cards that compliment your wedding stationery be placed on the tables or at each table setting.
