Choosing Wedding Favors... |
|
|
|
written by Susan L. Tolbert
Wedding
favors should be thought of as a thank-you gift to your guests for coming and for
supporting your new commitment. Ideally, favors will also become memoirs, reminding your
guests of your special day once the "hoopla" of the event has passed. Favors can
also do double-duty by serving as part of the decorations for the reception hall. Though
cost often is given the most weight when selecting the type of favor to offer, some other
criteria to consider in choosing an item are:
- its possibility of being "inscribed"
(Can it display the couple's name and wedding date?)
- its durability or lasting value
(Can it serve as a memoir for many months--or even years?)
- its color(s) or decorative appeal
(Will it enhance the atmosphere of the reception hall?)
- its ability to express the couple's personality or interests
(Is it unique and/or symbolic?)
- its recreational value
(Will it add more fun to the reception?)
- its potential usefulness for the guests
(Does it have a practical use?)
