10 Actually Useful Wedding Favors | Shopping
In the midst of planning my own wedding, I’ve been on the hunt for useful wedding favors. Let’s face it: most often, wedding favors get left behind and you end up with a lot of extras. What a waste!
The best way to make sure your wedding favors get taken by your guests is to choose favors that guests actually want! I’ve put together my list of the top ten most useful wedding favors that your guests will definitely be sure to take home at the end of the night.
You’re welcome!
MY TOP TEN USEFUL WEDDING FAVORS
#1 – The Care Package
After a day full of dancing, drinking, eating, and excitement, some Advil and bottled water are exactly what your guests will need after your wedding day. They definitely won’t leave these behind and guests will definitely remember this DIY wedding favor idea!
#2 – Sunglasses
Outdoor wedding? Sunglasses are the perfect favor! You don’t want your guests to be “blinded” by your love, right?
#3 – Flip Flops
Whether or not your wedding is in the summer, flip flops are a useful wedding favor! Everyone will be ready to kick off their fancy shoes when it’s time to dance. If they have comfortable shoes to change into, the dance floor will be packed all night long!
#4 – Candles
Personally, I’ve never turned down a free candle! Even if every guest doesn’t take one, you’ll definitely have a few guests who will take extra so you won’t have leftovers.
#5 – “Mint” to Be
After a night of eating, drinking, and dancing, some mints will be much appreciated by your guests! Add in a cute phrase and you’re set for a sweet and useful wedding favor.
#6 – Coasters
These can be used immediately, considering your guests will have some beverages at your wedding! Set them at each place setting so that they get used and taken home by your guests.
#7 – Your Favorite Snacks
After all the partying is done, your guests will need some more fuel! Why not pick out your favorite treats and give them out as favors? Snacks are always useful wedding favors that guests actually want!
#8 – Program Fans
This is such an easy way to incorporate several wedding elements into one item! Keep your guests cool while also informing them about the ceremony and giving them something to take home as a keepsake.
#9 – Charitable Donations
While favors are a great way to thank your guests for coming to be a part of your wedding day, it is completely acceptable to go without them as well. Rather than spending money on favors, why not choose a charity close to your heart and make a donation in their honor instead? Your guests will surely appreciate this gesture!
#10 – Luggage Tags
Hello, destination wedding favors! Everyone can ALWAYS use an extra luggage tag (or two), so why not make sure they think of your big day whenever they travel? This is definitely a useful wedding favor that guests will actually want!
No matter what type of wedding favor you choose, your guests will be thrilled to be part of your big day and celebrating with you! In the end, that is what truly matters. Well…that and marrying the love of your life!
