Vidafine's Finds: Practical Wedding Favors That Won't Blow Your Budget
Let’s be honest, how many times have you been a wedding guest and received a favor that really didn’t serve much purpose other than collecting dust on a display case at home, or tucked away in its original box?
These days, most guests prefer practical favors instead of items that just look ‘pretty’. Lucky for those planning a wedding, you have a bunch of great options to fulfill your guests’ desires without emptying your pockets.

My Top Picks for Seasonal Wedding Favors:
- For winter weddings, how about…
- Packets of Hot Chocolate bundled together with wedding theme colored ribbon? Perfect for those cold winter nights!
- Or try gold or silver sprayed pine cones (decorated any way you like) and presented as an ornament? These will be used year after year on your guest’s Christmas trees! - For spring weddings, how about…
- A buffet table with a simple selection of candy that matches your wedding colors? Guests can create their own packets and take treats home in miniature paper bags.
- Or packets of seeds and flower bulbs similar to the wedding flowers used, so guests can plant their own at home. A nice compliment to any eco-themed wedding. - For summer weddings, how about…
- Bubbles! Guests can use them during the wedding festivities or save them for summer trips outdoors.
- Or why not try some hand-held fans? They can be used if you’re having an outdoor wedding and they accessorize guests outfits by adding color. Guests can save them for later use during hot summer days. - For autumn weddings, how about…
- Tea bags with a personalized sticker on the package? Guests will think of you next time they sip that tasty cup of tea.
- Or CDs with the bride and groom’s favorite songs! Be creative, your songs don't have to be wedding related or sappy if you don't want them to be.
