These days, personalized favors are such a huge part of a formal wedding reception. In decades past, favors offered at weddings were little more than a match book bearing the name of the happy couple or some other small keepsake that probably was disposed of by most guests shortly after the ceremony.

Nowadays, however, personalized wedding favors are much more elaborate. Common choices for today’s bride and groom might include pretty silver photo frames bearing the couple’s name and wedding date, a perfect place for that special photo taken at the wedding ceremony or reception. Other favorites include candles in personalized tins, bud vases, coasters, bath or soap favors, or even food-related wedding favors, like packets of coffee or candy bars and cookies bearing the names of the happy couple.

Personalized favors for weddings can also be chosen to match the theme of the wedding. For example, a beached theme wedding might yield the choice of a palm tree-shaped photo frame or flip-flip shaped drink coasters. A spring wedding couple can choose to give their guests personalized packets of seeds to plant in their gardens, while the December wedding couple might choose holiday-themed favors. The possibilities are limitless!
