Catering contributions
Food is the main highlight of any wedding function. However insufficient or unpalatable food could be some of the worst turn downs for your wedding guests. Catering takes up a large portion of the wedding budget for most couples and a lot of effort and time goes into the menu planning process. So, if you are into food or beverage businesses, you can donate cake, cookies or even the flatware to ease the budget and effort of the couple. The hosts can return the favor by recognizing the contribution in the program or by handing out your business cards along with their party favors.
Party favors
These little tokens will not just keep your wedding day memories fresh in the minds of your wedding guests but will live on as symbols of appreciation for a very long time. Personalized candies or cookies are great options to grab some free marketing opportunities at easy rates. Custom tote bags or drinkware items imprinted with the image or initials of the couples will make another cost-effective wedding favor. Earning an acknowledgement from the couple will go a long way in driving up the business in a subtle and nonintrusive manner.
Sponsorships
A wedding involves many elements that business owners can sponsor. Be it donating the flowers, renting the tables and chairs or sponsoring the entire wedding, there is something for every budget. Business owners can figure out what is the best way to get involved in the event by discussing with the couples.
