I often get asked about wedding favors! Martha Stewart Weddings posted an article on August 14, 2019 that was the BEST advice I'd ever seen on this subject.
Here is one of their suggestions:
Give: Personal Picks
"My best advice is that thoughtful favors are a win every time," says Deanna Nash, owner and creative director of Deanna Nash Events. "Something that speaks to who you are as a couple or that highlights a cultural tradition can be easily translated into a long-remembered and much-appreciated wedding favor."
Skip: Personalized Presents
On the other hand, people probably don't want a cheap wine glass or koozie customized with the couple's initials. Personalizing the packaging is fine, but anything beyond that is just asking to get thrown out. "Say no to adding your date or names or monogram," says Misty Damico, the owner and creative producer of Luxe Event Productions. "And above all, if you wouldn't want to buy it to keep for yourself, just forgo getting it for your guests and save your money!"
