Our favorite Reception favor Ideas

Wedding favors are a great way to show your gratitude to each of your guests for traveling from far and wide to join in your special day. Be it an edible favor, a functional item that your guests can use at home, or just a small keepsake that will always remind them of your event, use this opportunity to give a token of your appreciation. After all, your wedding wouldn’t be perfect if it weren’t for the people that help you celebrate it! Here are some of our favorites:

1. Personalized shot glasses

2. Mini edible bites 

3. Mini bottles of Liquor

 

4. Donation card to the Charity of your choice in the guest's name

5. Jar of jam or compote

6. Bottle opener or stopper

Donations are the New Favors

Gifting a favor as a thank you to your guests is a timeless tradition. Often many bride and grooms gift sweets, frames, candles, or something that describes the bride and groom. Favors can be quite costly, especially if you have a larger guest count, and most of them go unused by guests. This is why we love when clients do donations. You can choose a charity of your choice and instead of spending the money on gifts that most people won't appreciate, you can donate those funds to a good cause.

Here are some great places to donate to:

UNICEF

I Do Foundation

Local - Edible Favors

The last thing you want is to give your guests a wedding favor that will just be strewn into a corner of their house, forgotten forever and destined only to collect dust. Instead, you can have some fun choosing your favors and let your creativity run free! One of our favorite ideas is to give edible favors out at the end of the night – these can be in the form of mini treats or even a nice bottle of wine or champagne. To make this even sweeter, consider supporting your community and buying local products! Here are some of our favorite edible favor ideas – all from local NY businesses!
