A Guide On How To Choose And Present The Wedding Favors Elegantly
The fall season is in the last lap. Couples who are planning to say their wedding vows before the frosty winter will have just enough time to plan their wedding day and shop for those perfect wedding favors. Buying the best gifts in town is only half your job done as you may have to present it in true style to impress the guests.
#1: Choose Your Favors
Seasons, trendy party ideas, personal favorites- the yardstick to choose the wedding party favors can be anything. However, what matters at the end of the day is to how popular these personalized gifts will turn out on your wedding day. Gather ideas on unique gift packaging, sample favors and choose gifts that appeal to your eyes. A few ideas to get you started: If you are planning a color themed wedding, choose gifts that match the color. Decks of cards will make a perfect wedding favor for a destination wedding in Vegas; heart shaped chocolates for a Valentine day wedding and so on. Just bring out your creative ideas to choose the best gifts.
#2: Bespoke wedding favors
Buying pre-made favors and personalizing it with your message or snapshot is cost effective and easier than DIY gift ideas. Ideally, favors should only take up 1-2% of your total wedding budget. So, keep a close eye on the items that you purchase. Often bulk orders carry the best deals. So, it will be a smart idea to get the list of the guests finalized first before placing a single bulk order instead of reordering the items more than once. If you wish to hand out one wedding favor for each guest, opt for budget friendly gift items. For expensive favors like wine chillers, you can consider giving one gift per couple. Tag the gift with the name of the guests or attach favors to the escort cards to make sure that everyone in your audience gets their gifts.
#3: Gift wrap in style
Most people judge the favors by its cover; and elegant gift wrapping will go a long way in enhancing the appeal and acceptability of your gifts. From colored gift boxes to clear cellophane bags and silver canisters, there is a range of packing options to consider. Choose containers that complement your wedding theme, colors and more importantly budget.
#4: Display and distribution of gifts
How you wish to distribute the gifts is the final part of the wedding favor planning task. Though wedding favors are considered as parting gifts, these can be handed out to your guests at the beginning of the event, half way through or even after the wedding. Pile up the gifts near the entrance or on the chairs of the guests. Party favors like flip flops or sunglasses can be arranged near the dance floors to encourage your guests to get into the party mood and groovy. Attach the guests’ name to the gifts so that everyone gets their gifts. The waiters can be instructed to pass around fruit baskets or home- made goodies before or between the courses. Round off the night with a hand written thanks note and a midnight snack of cookies to see them off in a heartwarming way.
