Wedding favors… the small detail that can go a long way. Some people will say to shy away from them because people will not take them home at the end of the evening. And. Its true. How many little tins of candy do you really need? I always recommend wedding favors,  but, you should do something that your guests will love. Something you know they will take home with them.

You can give the favors a personal touch (something that’s meaningful to you) or something to go along with the theme of your wedding. Whatever you choose to do, here are a few of my favorites, and I know your guests will take home.

The Knot Wedding Shop offers a wide variety of wedding favors for your day. One thing you want to make sure you have if you are doing a outdoor wedding is water. Make sure you personalize them with your names and the date.

They also have edible favors. One of my favorites are cookies. These will be very popular with your guests, especially if you have kids attending your wedding.

AmericanBridal.com has great options for practical wedding favors. If you are a foodie give them something they can use at home like these red pepper and Parmesan cheese shakers.

If you are a golfer this is a MUST do. Everyone will be fighting over these personalized golf balls.

Beau-coup offers these cute gourmet tea tins that are available in 8 classic blends. Tea is perfect for anyone.

This shaker is great to pair with your signature wedding drink. Its size is perfect for one drink and your guests will love it.

Don’t forgot about the gift that keeps on giving. Donating to your favorite charity will be a conversation starter at any wedding. Make sure that your guests know that you thought about them when picking your wedding favor and how much you appreciate them sharing in your special day.
