There are no more important milestones in life than saying "I Do" so it is important to recognize all those who are there to share this momentous occasion with you when choosing wedding favors. Whether friend or family (or both) wedding favors allow you to let those special in your life to take home a bit of your special day. Wedding favors are the perfect way to show your appreciation for the friends and family who share this occasion with you. Many popular wedding favors are available, but personalized items are among the most popular.

Personalized bubbles in tiny bottles to be blown in lieu of throwing rice that can be dangerous to animals, personalized packets of bird seed to be thrown, personalized champagne flutes, candies, or photo albums (especially if you put a photo of yourself and the guest inside) are all popular choices in wedding favors. The most important thing is just to show, in a personal, thoughtful way, how much the presence of your guests means to you.

A good suggestion for wedding favors that will allow the guests to contribute is personalized photo albums. Purchase a single, larger wedding album for the bride and groom, and one smaller, personalized photo album for each guest. Ask each guest to bring a photograph of the bride or groom, or if possible one of themselves with the bride or groom. Photos of the bride and groom together and childhood photos are especially welcome for these wedding favors. Have someone scan the photos, slip the copy into the wedding album and the original into the individual albums. Another option for those who might not have a photo to bring is to take a picture of the bride and/or groom and the guest, and use that photo. These are wedding favors that keep on giving, and create a wedding favor for the guests and a treasured heirloom for the happy couple as well.
