The Great Wedding Favors Debate
There’s been some chatter in the blogosphere lately about the necessity of wedding favors. Sadly, some folks seem to consider favors the most expendable item on the wedding checklist. Wedding favors are supposed to be tokens of “thanks” to your guests. Certainly, the choice is yours and if you have a small budget where favors just don’t fit, you need to do what makes you comfortable. But for those who dismiss wedding favors simply because they think favors are meaningless trinkets, we believe you just haven’t found the right favors!
At Beau-coup we encourage our brides to think about their favors as a way share something about themselves with their friends and family. Whether the favors reflect the story of how the couple met, express a shared passion or illustrate the couple’s unique style. When it showcases their personalities and comes from the heart, a thoughtful favor is never a waste.
Consider these fitting favor selections by some of our brides:
“We met at a candy store. We both went for the peach rings and the rest is history. We’re going to fill these mini candy dispensers with peach rings!”
“Well, we met on Match.com.so these match pen key rings are absolutely perfect!”
“We’re from Texas and we love Texas barbeque! The personalized barbecue sauce is so us.”
The key is to think about your story and figure out what piece you want to share. With a little creativity, the chances of finding a hit are definitely in your favor!
Stay tuned for more great ideas from Beau-coup!!
Very unique ideas - also important to keep in mind with favors is to choose something that your guests will either eat or use.
I love the red, whit and black box- so elegant!

I love these! my favorite is the candy dispenser. I have seen "candy bars" at weddings but not like this. It looks like what u would get at a candy store. thanks for sharing
I based a large about on my budget toward wedding favors. I am a graphic designer and am marrying a chef...we came up with the idea to give a cookbook as a favor. On our save the dates we included a section on recipe submissions and had all of our guest submit a recipe. We designed all of the recipes into a 75 page pdf and are printing and binding them to give away at the wedding.
LOOOOVE the cookbook idea...too cute.
The mini candy dispensers are a nice touch. Candies are so popular at wedding these days.
I enjoy the bubble gum distributing machines. You can recycle these ideas for a 40th birthday party (reminiscence) or at a kid birthday.
The cookbooks sound amazing!! I love that all of these favors have a story!
I love the little gum ball machines. I personally will be making potperri for my guest and packaging in in circle organza bags. We had originally planned an outdoor wedding and the bbq bottles was number one on my list because we love to barbeque. Because things changed I wanted our favor to be a little more reflective of the atmosphere we want to set. I truly believe that favors should be useful. I'm very practical in that way.
