Personalized Wedding Favors to Make your Wedding more personal

By Aaron H.

The giving of wedding favors as special "Thank you" gifts to one's guests is becoming a traditional part of weddings. While they are not really required, most people will expect to see them at the wedding and receive them as keepsakes when they attend a wedding. The selection of items that a couple can choose from when shopping for wedding favors is huge and growing continually. One important factor when shopping for wedding favors is to include at least one type of personalized wedding favor or personalized favor boxes.

Personalized wedding favors and personalized favor boxes help ensure that the favors given to one's guests are unique items. The names of the bride and groom and the wedding date being added to these items makes them true one of a kinds that people will look upon in future years and recall this particular wedding and happiness shared with the couple. Some people have difficulty remembering dates, such as anniversaries, and personalized wedding favors or personalized favor boxes can help remind these people of the anniversary date so they can wish the couple well.

Sometimes, adding the full names of the couple along with the date may be undesirable. It is possible to have personalized wedding favors done with just a monogram or initials added to them. Couples can have just their initials placed on an item. They could also have the initials of the recipient placed on each item to make it a truly personalized wedding favor or wedding favor box. Either way, having initials added to an item is generally less costly than adding full names to an item unless the personalization is included in the price quoted for the item regardless of letter count.

If having the item personalized with the name of the recipient is the plan, personalized favor boxes are a good idea. These can then double as place cards, which might save the couple some money if their budget is already tight. If couples do not desire this, or if the wedding favors they have selected are not of a type that is easily personalized, the couple's names and wedding date can be added to the personalized favor boxes instead. The favors can then be stored inside the box to keep them safe from time.

The choice of giving personalized wedding favors or personalized favor boxes is entirely the domain of the couple when planning their wedding and reception. While not absolutely required to make the wedding a success, almost all the guests will expect to receive one item at least, usually having the couple's names and wedding date added to it, as a keepsake that they can look at in future years to recall the happiness shared with the couple on their special day. This is why it is important to always include personalized wedding favors or personalized favor boxes when ordering the several items needed to put the wedding together. They are not expensive, yet they mean a great deal.
