Wedding Favor Etiquette |
|
|
|
Wedding favor etiquette is all about people polite, while keeping it real and staying within your means. Before you go any further, providing a favor to your guests is a must! - no if's and's or but's. It is a form of thanks, and on your special day expressing your gratitude will only bring you more joy into your lives. There is however a lot of lee-way in terms of what you give your guests and how much it costs. (Article Continues Below...)

How Much To Spend You don't have to spend a lot on favors to offer your guests something truly wonderful. If you're really on a tight budget, have you thought about DIY favors? Anything from chocolate to bottles of wine are acceptable. Anywhere from $1 per favor to $15 per favor is acceptable. I would say $3-$5 is the average. |
 |
One Favor or Two per couple? It depends on the favor! If it's wine, one is fine. If it's bite-sized chocolate, two would be a better idea. If you're on a tight budget, go for one favor per couple. Just try to get a regular sized chocolate vs. mini chocolate. |
 |
How To Hand Out Favors Here are four options. 1) You can have them displayed at the end of the reception line. 2) You can hand them out personally in the reception line. 3) You can have them displayed on a table after the dinner so people take them on their way out. 4) You can have them displayed at each table setting. |

Etiquette Advice - How
To Pick an Appropriate Favor |
|
 |
Get Something You Can Afford Remember this K.I.S.S planning rule! In order to keep it simple + special, it has to remain on budget! Packaging like ribbon and boxes really fancy up a simple gift while fitting with your theme and impressing guests. A simple flower is also a lovely and inexpensive idea. |
 |
Get Something That Fits Your Theme Regardless of the price, the gift will be a hit if it fits your theme. If you don't have a big budget get simple chocolates and use appropriate packaging. If you have a big budget and your theme is a garden wedding, provide people with a potted plant or a bottle of quality wine. |
 |
Personalize Your Gift Since this is a special occasion celebrating you and your partner. Not only does the gift itself have to provide a personal touch but using labels or hangtag's with your names displayed also adds a special touch. I love the idea of personalized ribbon as well! |

 |
Gifts That Can Be Used We are part of society that looks down on wastefulness. Go for something that people will use. Flower seeds or bulbs, theme-focused candles, soap,lip balm, a notepad made of handmade paper, or even chopsticks are great examples. |
 |
Edible Gifts Gifts that people can eat or drink are appreciated and fit a variety of budgets. For food, consider chocolates, candy and cookies! Beverages can include tea, coffee, homemade wine or a favorite drink of you and your partner. |
 |
A Donation To A Charity This is a popular idea. Make it personalized by donating to a charity you believe in. If you are environmentalists, support an environmental movement. If you both love kids, then perhaps donate to a charity supporting children?! |
