The Importance of Having Personalized Wedding Favors

By Andrea M.

There are several important details that couples must deal with when they plan their wedding. One item that may not be required, but is expected at wedding receptions, is the presence of wedding favors. Almost all guests at a wedding expect to see at least one item that is personalized with the names of the couple and their wedding date. Because these items are to be keepsakes that guests can keep to remind them of this wedding, it is very important to include this personalized wedding favor or personalized favor box.

The range of items that have the potential to be personalized is quite vast and grows daily. If couples do not wish to have their full names and the date placed on an item, initials are a good backup plan. Often items can be personalized with initials at a lower cost than full names and dates, unless the personalization is included in the price quoted for the item up front.

Couples sometimes choose to have wedding favors or favor boxes personalized to the person intended to be the recipient by adding that person's name or initials. Doing this makes a totally unique item that forms a solid link between the item and the wedding in the minds of the guests. Placing personalized favor boxes at each place setting with the recipient's name on it can replace the place cards normally used at each seat and provide a container for guests to keep their favors in.

There are no upper or lower limits on the number of wedding favors a couple may give. What is important is including at least one, either a personalized wedding favor or personalized favor box, for each guest that comes. Discounting personalized item, couples often give the same or nearly the same items as wedding favors. Personalization makes these unique, thus more valuable to the recipients.

Planning a wedding includes many more important aspects than choosing personalized wedding favors or personalized favor boxes. However, their importance when favors are given at all is high. Not having at least one personalized wedding favor or personalized favor box can seem cheap to the guests, regardless of the price of the favors and boxes given. Therefore, if the couple chooses to give out wedding favors, it is important to include personalized wedding favors or personalized favor boxes.

Wedding favors are not a strict requirement that couples must include in the wedding plans. They are, however, a traditional part of the wedding party in today's world. When giving wedding favors as "Thank you" gifts for one's guests, it is important to remember to include some personalized wedding favors or personalized favor boxes in the list of items being ordered in preparation for what should be the happiest day of a couple's lives.
