In my opinion, the wedding favor is a perfect way to thank your guests for coming to your wedding, purchasing you a gift, staying in a hotel and spending money on gas. Yes, of course, you are paying for their meal, and you have spent countless hours and dollars on making the day perfect, but a small favor is something they take with them and will remember always. Favors are, of course, not necessary, but they do stand out and it is a nice little way to say Thank You.
I have compiled a variety of favor options for you to take a look at. Some are hand made, some are creative, and some are Eco-friendly. I hope you find something either from this list or from a great wedding favor website that will reflect who you are as a couple and how grateful you are to your friends and family for their love and support.
Favor #1: The Bottle Stopper

Favor #2: The Pint Glass
Fun, personalized pint glasses are a great favor idea for the couples who have a young, fun spirit. They are something people will use over and over and will be a constant reminder of how much fun they had at your wedding. Some guests may even use their glass right away by taking it to the bar to be filled with their favorite brew. At less then $2.50 each, this is a unique way to say Thank You and a fun option for a more party-minded crowd. (Other options are wine glasses, stemless wineglasses, champagne flutes or glass mugs).
Favor #3: The DIY Candy Bar

Favor #4: Go Green!
Are you an Eco-conscious couple looking for something environmentally friendly to give your guests? The options for you are constantly growing and becoming increasingly more popular. Flower seed packets are a cute, fun way to thank guests while also doing something good for the environment. Many of these packets are biodegradable or made directly out of seeds and can be planted directly into the ground or flower pot. Averaging about $1.50 each, what could be more fun then watching a garden grow!
Favor #5: The Donation
Making a donation to your favorite charity (or charities) is becoming a very popular way to thank guests. many couples are opting to send a generous donation in lieu of wedding favors and placing a card at each guests seat telling them where the donation went and the purpose. The Knot Shop on theknot.com provides custom made place cards and the option to donate directly to your favorite charity from their website. Click Here to find out how!
No matter what you decide to go with, make it something that you and your partner will both enjoy and something that says a lot about who you are as a couple. And remember, your guests will be so grateful for the extra little something to take home with them!
