Pick Something Meaningful

When giving favor to your guests settle on favors that depict your personalities, express the wedding's setting. You can share something that you love, and your guests will be thrilled to have. If both of you are into wine, you can consider mini wine bottles. Make them with personalized and unique labels. If you spend every most of your weekends golfing, then you can give out golf balls and or tees fully customized with your wedding location. It would be lovely to share a piece of your distinctive heritage by giving pastries and cookies. To make it more special, you can put a family recipe to provide the gift with a personal touch. Or the Evil Eye from Greece where your ancestors were born. Regional specialties like chicken fried steak from Texas, jambalaya or etouffee from Louisiana, or the bonne bouche or tourtiere from Vermont are a great way of giving guests the authentic taste of local flavors. A unique way of being meaningful would be to choose a cause in place of traditional favors that is close to your heart and make a donation towards the cause. Let the guests know that the donation is made by placing a small note on each setting.

Secretive DIY 

These would be an ideal way to save money. However, you need to make a few of them to gauge how you like the activity. They may end up being more work than you initially budgeted for in your plan. Creating, assembling, and finally wrapping 200 favors may end up being a daunting task. But homemade gifts always guarantee a personal way of showing appreciation. They also do not have to be complicated. Should you decide this is what you want for your wedding favors, do it. Do not be afraid to ask for help either. You can ask your friends to tie ribbons and affix labels, throw in a cocktail to entice them.

Plan the Display

There exists the thought that giving gifts and favors can be done at any time, during the wedding. Or throughout to the end of the night. That, however, means you can make your escort cards or place cards to double as favors. The smaller favors could be wrapped in pretty colorful packaging and can add up to the table décor. If the favors you choose deserve a spotlight in the event, then designate a unique table at the edge of the reception or towards the exit.

Order Extra

Whichever the pattern that you choose when giving out the favors make sure that you give an allowance for more, for every a hundred guests make sure you create ten more as some people are bound to take more or some may end up destroyed in transit.

Wrap it up 

Having personalized packaging enhances a thoughtful display. Consider using colorful boxes, clear cellophane, silver canisters, and tiny tin pails. Also, the packaging that you choose for the favors should make an impact just like the gift inside. However, edible favors need special packaging. These are because Paper bags and boxes rapidly soak in the grease in cookies or custom prepared popcorn (leaving behind an unattractive favor pack). To prevent this, line the package with a wax lining before adding any edible snacks to keep in the grease.
