Wedding favors—a tradition that makes a wedding reception complete
Wedding favors are a part of almost every wedding reception that you attend these days, but there are many ways to use them.
One of the main ideas for wedding favors is that they serve as a token gift to thank the people who have joined to celebrate your marriage. Wedding favors can be as simple as a nicely presented serving of candy to be eaten right away, or candles or soaps to be taken home.
A unique wedding favor can also be a permanent keepsake as a reminder of the couple and the occasion. Some ideas for wedding favors are functional in the reception itself, such as placecard holders, or bells to ring for a kiss from the bride and groom. (That could save a few broken goblets, depending on the crowd!)
Popular ideas for wedding favors:
- Unique wedding favor boxes, bags, or tins that can contain almost anything.

Of course you can combine and personalize these ideas for wedding favors to create a unique result that's all yours.
