Alright friends. The question of the year:
To provide wedding favors or not?
The honest answer, which is the answer you probably don’t want to hear is IT’S UP TO YOU! Yep, like everything wedding planning, it it your decision. So, even though we won’t make the decision for you we will provide FIVE awesomely unique wedding favor ideas that may just sway you in one direction.
Have you ever attended a wedding and left that koozie because you already have 40 others? Ate enough cake so you don’t want to take home the little box of Hershey kisses? If you aren’t doing wedding favors simply because you’ve been that guest that left theirs at the table, then check out these five neat wedding favor ideas your guests will LOVE (and, bonus, most of them support local small businesses)!
Are you a lover of the waste-free world? Check out number four. All about having fun? Number five is for you! Get creative with your favors and your guests will be begging for more 😊
1. Coasters with their name in calligraphy. BONUS- this can double as their place card! These adorable hexagons were done by Script Your Event, a local Kansas City calligraphist.
2. Glassware with a nod to the location of your nuptials like these schnazy beer glasses by Carly Rae Studio, a local Kansas City artist!
3. His or hers keychains that give back. Choose two different colors for a “his or her” option and see which option your guests like more! These keychains by Elevate give back to an incredible cause and last forever (I know, because I have one!). Okay, I know. These ones are a little pricier so if you have a large guest count they would make great wedding party gifts instead.
4. Reusable straws….you’re welcome environment. These nifty straws from Bed Bath & Beyond are cocktail straws, so guests can use them all night then take them home to enjoy!
