However, it’s no secret that guests will leave certain favors behind if they feel that it will clutter their life or is of no use to them. And what will the bride do with 50 specially engraved key chains afterwards?
So I’ve come up with this list of thoughtful (and pretty) wedding favor ideas that will stand the test of not being left behind at your wedding reception.
Wedding Favors for Wine Drinkers
Many of your wedding guests will potentially drink wine at your event, but also on a regular basis. If the majority of your guest list consists of these types of peeps, then your best bet will be to give something thoughtful such as wine bottle stoppers and so on. If you’re worried about the wedding guests who don’t drink wine, you can always mix your wedding favors up and let your guests exchange favors with each other at the reception.
Pro Tip: If you want to give more than one type of wedding favor for guests to choose from, place them in pretty baskets on a table at your reception. Add a cute sign to remind guests to pick only one, and add some wedding flowers and decor to the table to make it pretty.
