7 Ways to Present your Wedding Favors
The presentation of your wedding favors is often the thing that makes them memorable to your guests. Whilst the favor itself and the packaging you put them in can make them unique to your wedding, finding an unusual way to hand them out can make them more so.
Here are 7 lovely ways to hand out your favors at your wedding:
- Go for the traditional approach and place them on each place setting. If you design your favor tags with space for your guest’s names you can double them up as name cards also. Placing them on your tables in this fashion also provides a lovely finishing touch to your tables and helps to unify all the little details and your scheme.
- If you are having a flower girl and/or page boy at your wedding, then why not ask them to deliver the favors after the wedding speeches and toasts are over. Equip them with a basket and pile the favors inside. Your guests will be delighted to receive a gift from a child in this manner.
- Set a table aside in the reception and place your favors out on it. You can either pile them up in decorative bowls or plates or set them in a uniform fashion perhaps with your guest’s names on them. Your guests can then help themselves.
- Use your favors as your centerpieces on your tables and pile them up in the center. You could use decorative pedestal dishes or plates to put them on.
- Hand out your favors yourselves. It may take some time but it will give you the opportunity to chat with your guests and personally thank them. This personal approach will definitely be remembered by your guests!
- Use your favors as escort cards and set them out on a table by the entrance to the reception room. Make sure each one has your guest’s names on them and lay them out in a uniform fashion, keeping each table of guests together. Your guests can then collect them on their way into the reception. Have a table plan displayed nearby as well so your guests can easily find their tables.
- Save your favors till last and hand them out to your guests as they leave. You can do this personally as your guests will almost certainly seek you out to say goodbye before they go. Just make sure your favors are somewhere easily accessible. Alternatively you could have them set out on a table by the door with a sign asking them to take one as they leave.
