When having a wedding, it is common for the couple to provide favors for their guests. It makes for a great souvenir to take home to remember their special day. Depending on the budget favors can be big or small, or some use it to donate to their favorite charities. If doing a destination wedding, it is fun to incorporate local goodies from local businesses for your guests to cherish. In this blog post, we have incorporated some of our favorite local Sarasota favors. We also, have incorporated some of the most commonly used favors as well.
Drinkware:
This is by far the most popular items we see. Koozies of all kinds, bottle openers, shot glasses, coasters and custom plastic cups. You can be creative with your custom design, or simple. Just make sure it includes your names and date!
Personal Care Items
This category can include any of your basic bath necessities. This could be bath salts, bath bombs, lip balm, and soap. These are great items you can also find in local stores that are hand made from artists that like to sell at art fairs. These items come individually wrapped, all you need to do is add a cute tag around it with your names and date and a “Thank You” of course!
Food Items
Food items is another great way to incorporate local establishments, or offer them as a dessert option instead of a favor. If your wedding has a certain theme to it, you can get creative with items to go with that theme. Some common items we find are “His & Her” candy, “Mint – to – be”, Hershey Kisses “from the mr and mrs”, local made honey “from the honeys”. So many puns can be partnered up with weddings and food!
Miscellaneous Items
Any favor you give to your guests they probably aren’t expecting it. If it is a destination wedding on the beach some common favors we see are sunglasses, flip flops or fans. Something simple like glow bracelets with a cute tag that says “Let love glow” gets the party going and is something for them to use and take home. Blankets, dog treats, matches, seeds and plants are commonly used with a clever thank you tag. There are a ton of favor ideas out there! The best way to choose your favor, is to have it go with your theme, or something that represents you as a couple.
