The Perfect Match

Wedding favors can be a fun, yet tricky, detail. They can be a supper fun element that helps tie your over all vision together. On the other hand, most people either leave them there, take them home and throw them away, or take them home and put them in a drawer or memory box. I encourage couples to seriously consider what they want to do when it comes to favors. For some, ditching the entire thing is the way to go. For some, making a donation to a beloved charity is the way to go. For others who really feel that having something for guests to take come is an important part of a wedding, there are some great ideas for things that will be worth the money spent.

I was at a wedding a couple of years ago where the bride and groom had a coffee bar and gave guests a glass coffee mug as the favor. It worked wonderfully. We had a nice, large coffee mug to use for the reception and then to take home. I'm actually drinking out of it right now as I write this blog.

For Jeff and Bethany, we had already decided that since they were having an evening reception, having sparklers for their exit would be a beautiful and inexpensive idea. So when they mentioned that they really wanted something tangible for their guests to take home with them, I knew exactly what they could do.



Personalized match boxes make a wonderful wedding favor. They are inexpensive. Well very inexpensive. They are an easy DIY project, and they are something useful that guests just might use after they leave. I'll leave you with just a little more inspiration. All images from www.theknot.com
