With literally thousands of options to choose from, ordering wedding favors may turn out to be a much tougher task than you anticipated! Your favors can convey your wedding theme, showcase your interests or double as a useful part of your wedding decor (like place card holders or candles). You may want to shop for wedding favors by price, popularity or personalization options. Here are a few useful tips:
1) Determine how many favors you need and what your “favor budget” is. Would you like each person to take a favor home, each couple, or each family? Are children going to receive favors as well?
2) Browse our website and write down 5 of your favorite favors. With wedding favors ranging from personalized sunscreen to keyboard dusters, cowboy boot shot glasses to letter openers and bottle stoppers to chocolate covered Oreos you will probably find many more than 5 favorites, but try to narrow down the list.
3) Enlist the help of your fiance or close friends. Show them the different favor options, make sure there is enough time to order (personalized favors can take up to a month or more to deliver), and ask for their opinion. You may want to order a variety of favors and allow guests to choose which one they like best.
4) Most websites (including ours) will give better discounts if you order more favors. Our company also gives customers free shipping on any order of $500 or more – simply enter coupon code 724688 during checkout. If your order is close to the next pricing tier, it may actually save you money to order more favors. Use the extras for thank you gifts or prizes at the next shower you host.
5) Add your own touch to a discount wedding favor with personalized stickers, custom favor ribbon or personalized hang tags – some brides that I’ve worked with even use the ribbon to decorate their reception tables and the stickers to seal the envelopes on their thank you cards.
Edible favors are a hit with many guests – cookies, mints, almonds, candies, even coffee or tea packets are all excellent choices. Your guests will receive a souvenir from your special day that they will actually use, and they are great for guests of all ages!
Our website categorizes favors by type, theme, price and season.
