How to Turn Party Favors into Gifts Guests Will Be Talking About
Party Favor Ideas to Light Your Party Up
Giving favors to party guests may be a sweet gesture, but it’s not mandatory. The party favors are just a thoughtful way to express gratitude towards your guests for attending your party and making it memorable and hence a keepsake of the special event. Party favors have become a common practice and a lot more creative in recent times. Keeping expectations in place, a party favor isn’t an exchange of gifts, but a thought behind your feeling of appreciation. You need not make it an expensive affair to appease your guests.
The next time you host a party and want to give favors to your guests, you’d actually use different inexpensive and thoughtful items to give away that include homemade or store bought cookies/bread, gourmet chocolates, potted herbs or a picture of your guests taken at the party, organic tea bags or pocket-sized travel kits. Wrapped attractively in a gift box or fabric bags tied with a bow matching the party theme your party favors are good to go! Besides, a thank you note from you to your guests is imperative with the small treats.
Getting Favors Your Guests will Love!
When choosing favors for your guests, ensure that you pick something you’re most likely to use yourself. Align the party favor as closely to the theme of your party as possible. The idea would be a sentimental add that your guests will remember for long. For instance, if the party’s a wedding reception, the favor or its packaging could match the wedding’s colors/décor or venue. Or if the party’s a dinner event, then laminated cards with a recipe printed on them or small bottles of the wine served over dinner would be an excellent giveaway.
When it comes to gifting, you can hardly ever go wrong with edibles. Having an edible favor means that you won’t be investing in something that will be thrown away! Irrespective of whether the edible is homemade or store bought, the delicious favor would definitely be consumed. From a bag of cookies, a cookie mix layered decoratively in a glass jar or a grab-bag candy bar at your party with an assortment of candies that your guests can choose from and pick for themselves in a bag, would be a big hit.
Another way to add to the fun in your favors is to create a sense of mystery using packaging so your guests can’t make out what’s inside the favor bag. Let each guest pick from a pile of favor bags at random and see what they get, in case someone doesn’t like what they get, they can trade with other guests for some extra fun! Parties are also known for gate crashing or surprise appearances or a plus-one guest, so no matter who shows up, it is always a smart move to have extra favors organised. This will also help avoid any transit damage in case the favors need transporting to an external venue. An excellent backup plan!

- Engraved Favors: One of the most popular drinks for wedding festivities and toasts, wine wedding favors are perfect for pleasing your guests. These glasses can be used to serve juice or sparkling ciders as well. Placing these glasses at each table setting is a good idea so that all your guests can receive their gifts! The glasses can be engraved with your names, the date or a small picture befitting the theme.
- Budgeted Favors: It’s always good to stay on a budget, especially when it’s so tempting and easy to go overboard during a wedding with expenses! Buy your wine glasses in bulk and look for lower pricing or discounted purchases. Consider adding a wine glass charm to the stem of each glass, and it could be something that fits into the theme/décor of your wedding, like palm trees, hearts, shoes, flowers or leaves and including your last name initials. You can also add a small wedding favor tag thanking your guests for their love and presence on your special day. The tags could be white or a light color cut with a shaped scrapbook scissor and tied onto the glass stem with curled ribbons.
- Associated Wine Favors: In a wine themed wedding, you don’t need to restrict yourself to plain glasses for a favor, you can also give out wineglass candles, charms, sparkling juice or bottle of wine to your guests.
- Favours For Under-21: If children are attending your wedding, favor alternatives for them could be brightly colored juice bottles. For teens and adults below 21, sparkling juice or non-alcoholic sparkling cider with custom labels can be factored in. You can also fill wine bottles with candies, bubble bath, and chocolates.
- Other Unique Favors: Get crafty with planning early and soliciting friends and family to save their wine bottles/corks and glasses. With their help, you can craft unique wedding favors like fixing corks in the shape of wine bottles or glasses with a hot glue gun and add a ribbon for hanging at the back with a favor tag. You can give wine glass candles in addition to them serving as centerpieces or use mini bottles, etch a design on the front, add a bottle pourer & you have a perfect soap container or olive oil blend container. Decorate cheap wine glasses to match your wedding theme, for instance, wrap a burlap and lace around the glass and twine around the stem and finish up with an embellishment.
- Purchasing Favors: Anything goes when it comes to wedding favors. Favors differ in different parts of the world. While Americans prefer wedding themed favors, an Italian wedding guest usually get chocolate covered almonds. The Spanish receive cigars for men and a gift for the women, while in Russia, favors include small pictures or small trinkets/candles. At Irish weddings, it is typical for guests to receive little wedding bells for favors, while in India, a lucky wedding favor is a hand-crafted elephant figurine. When it comes to purchasing, you can also explore pick-wine themed socks that’ll keep your guests’ feet as toasty as their wine glasses! Or wine infused coffee, wine flavored jelly or wine fridge magnets in sets of 4.
- Handing out Favors: Favors can be gifted in a variety of ways depending upon traditions, lifestyle, or your personal beliefs. While some prefer displaying favors at each place setting as part of wedding décor, others like having a special favors table with a display of small gifts and a decorative card attached to the favors with each guest’s name and table assignment. Most others like to personally hand out each favor in exchange for their wedding gifts.
- Destination Wedding Favors: Planning a destination wedding is comparatively less stressful than a traditional wedding, and if your wedding package doesn’t include the favors, you can easily plan them out with minimal stress. Usually, destination weddings have fewer people at the ceremony and reception. Several small gifts can be used with universal themes as part of a destination wedding. For instance – luggage tags reflect the travel element of the wedding and are practically adorable, can be styled in leather, silver or other options.
Mini travel cases are another popular choice, which can be filled with mints, roasted honey almonds or candies or travel sets for both men & women, in colors matching your wedding theme and colorful ribbons.
