Wedding Party Favors For Your Guests

January 13, 2022 / / 0 Comments

Wedding party favors are a time honored tradition that provides your guests with a small memento of your special day. They are normally displayed at a table for guests to pick up or handed out individually. There are also many fun ways to customize your party favors, so it’s a good idea to explore your options and look for anything unique. If you’re still stuck on what to gift to your guests, here are some tips and ideas.

Match Your Theme

If you have a specific wedding theme, your party favor containers or wrappers should reflect that. For example, if you’re having a beach wedding, choose boxes with a beautiful seaside design or an ocean blue color. At the very least, your party favors should have the same color scheme and match your aesthetics.

Edible Favors and Sweets

Opting for something edible is a popular choice that’s both simple and a nice treat for your guests. Some examples include candies, cookies, mini alcohol bottles, and much more. If you’re having a destination wedding, choosing your items or sweets based on the regional specialties can be a good place to start. It can be a traditional treat from the culture or something that originated from the area.

An alternative to packing the favor gift bags yourself is to include a self-service table or bar with your selected goodies. That way, your guests can easily pick and choose their favorites to take home with them.

Useful Gifts

Now who doesn’t love something useful? Choosing to offer useful gifts is a unique approach and your guests will be more likely to use them even after the wedding. Thoughtful options include bottle openers, shot glasses, coasters, candles, and so on. You can also think about more sustainable options like reusable straws, flower seeds, or mini succulents. Try to choose something that everyone in general will love and appreciate.

Summer Beach Wedding Ideas

April 21, 2021 / / 0 Comments

Summer is just around the corner and there’s no surprise that it’s a popular season for couples to walk down the aisle and celebrate their love. It’s also a time when most people are able to take some much needed time off and are free to travel. So how do you plan for a summer wedding? In this month’s blog, we’ll talk about fantastic summer beach wedding ideas that is sure to leave your guests impressed!

That Perfect Shore-Side Venue

Outdoor venues are extremely popular, especially having a shore-side wedding. Hosting an event at the beach can be romantic and beautiful. However, it’s important to keep your guests in mind because you’re going to be dealing with high temperatures and a strong sun. We recommend having tented seating areas or large umbrellas for your guests to take shelter in. Another way to escape the heat is to align your main event towards the evening, when temperatures are cooler.

If you’re sticking with a beach-side wedding, having a casual pre-party before the main event is sure to entice guests! Being able to dress down and just relax in the sand or at a beach bar is a great way to appreciate the summer vibe. Providing tasty, cooling treats is also an absolute must, such as drinks and dessert stations.  

Beach Themed Stationery

Match your beach-side venue with beautiful and creative stationery! Invite your guests with gorgeous wedding invitations featuring the beautiful deep blue meeting the shore, or perhaps cards featuring the ocean life. These images are sure to evoke a calming and pleasing aesthetic in your guest’s mind before the event, conjuring a sense of excitement for that ocean breeze. You can also welcome your guests at the venue with matching beach themed seating placement cards, including a guest book that they can sign. Remember that keeping a consistent aesthetic is sure to wow your guests and overall enhance your special day!

Beachy Party Favors

People love trinkets and merchandise that would serve as a memento of the wedding event. Here are some ideas to keep your guests comfortable while doubling as a party favor:

  • Personalized fans to combat that summer heat
  • Themed sunglasses
  • Reusable water bottles
  • Beach tote bags
  • Mini sunscreen bottles
  • Parasols
  • Customized beach towels

Conclusion

Whether you order desserts from your favorite bakery or prepare them in your home, party guests will appreciate the gesture of an edible party favor.

Customized Merchandise

Another great way to thank party guests for celebrating with you is by giving them personalized gifts. From custom blankets with the guests’ names on them to hats embroidered with the wedding date, there are many ways to give your guests a unique novelty item. Those who have hired a DJ and a dancefloor should consider gifting dancing guests a pair of sandals that are decorated using your event’s theme colors. People will be more than happy to kick off their high heels in exchange for the adorned flats.

Bubbly Favors

You can keep the party going past the end of your wedding celebration with a unique alcoholic drink. Great party favor drinks include mini champagne bottles and mini cocktail kits.

Champagne, wine, and beer are all great wedding favors that everyone will love.
