Wedding favors are small, inexpensive gifts or souvenirs that you present to
your guests as a way of saying "thank-you for attending our wedding
celebration". It has become customary to give something in return to your
guests that they can keep as a memory of your special day.
Favors don't have to be large or expensive. Some are elegant, some are
practical and some are just plain fun. Choose a favor that reflects your
wedding theme in some way.
Once the favors are completed, attach personalized favor tags that include your
names and the wedding date printed on them. You can use paper tags or
monogrammed ribbons that you either create yourself or purchase from a vendor.
Some couples also add a small saying to their tags as well.
Many couples choose February 14th as their wedding day, incorporating the love
and romance associated with this special holiday. Here are 8 favor ideas that
you could use for your own Valentine's Day wedding.
