Personalized Wedding Favors to Make your Wedding more personal

By Aaron H.

Giving wedding favors as a "Thank you" gift to one's guests is a fairly new tradition at weddings. While favors are not truly a required item, the majority of people expect to see them and receive them when they attend a wedding. The range of items that a couple may choose from when selecting wedding favors is vast and continually growing. One thing to bear in mind when shopping for them is that people usually expect to see at least one type of personalized wedding favors, or at least personalized favor boxes.

Personalized wedding favors and personalized favor boxes are a good way to make sure that the favors one gives out are unique. Adding the names of the bride and groom and the wedding date makes these items true one of a kinds that people can look at in years to come and call to mind this particular wedding. They are also a handy way for some who have difficulty remembering such things to recall the anniversary date in following years so they can remember to extend their best wishes.

If having full names and dates is undesirable, personalized wedding favors can be made with initials only added to them. One option is having the couple's initials placed on the item. Another is having the initials of the recipient placed on the item so that it is truly a personalized item. In either event, initials are generally less expensive to have added to an item unless the personalization is included in the price quoted regardless of letter count.

Personalized favor boxes are excellent items to have the names of those receiving them added to. This allows the boxes to double as place cards, which could save the couple some money if they are working on a tight budget. If the items chosen as wedding favors do not readily lend themselves to personalization, having the names of the bride and groom and the wedding date printed on the favor boxes is a good option. These boxes can then hold the favors to protect them from the effects of time.

Personalized wedding favors, or personalized favor boxes, the choice is entirely up to the couple to decide while they are planning their wedding and reception. These items are not an absolute requirement to make the wedding a success, yet almost all the guests will expect to receive at least one item, usually something personalized with the couple's names and wedding date on it, to have as a keepsake that they can look at in years to come and recall the happiness shared with the couple on their special day. For this reason, it is important to always include personalized wedding favors or personalized favor boxes in the shopping list when preparing to order the many items needed for the wedding. They only cost a little, but they really mean a lot.
