I am one to advocate that my clients forgo favors and save the money and the time. From my experiences – 99% of time, the favors are left on the tables and at the end of the night, I end up putting 75% of them in the trash. In my opinion, it’s just not a great use of time and money.
With that said, there were two instances where guests took an interest in and really enjoyed the favors – and in both of those instances, the Bride and I went through great lengths and expense putting them together.
Despite my thoughts – many of our clients still feel that favors are a necessary part of their wedding – but how do you minimize waste and expense, while maximizing impact? In December I wrote about some very cute plantable seeded favors from Dream Green Weddings. Very cute, very practical and very unique.
Another very ecologically and socially responsible way is donation. Almost everyone has something they care about. Why not help someone else on the most important day of your life? You can donate privately in all of your guest names – and then place a nice sign at the guest table, or make little cards out of post consumer recycled paper – and place one at each guest place setting or put them at a favor table – as they make an impressive impression in bulk.
Happy planning
Excite your guests, and protect the environment with these very cute and budget friendly favors. In most cases, the seeds are embedded in the favors. All your guests do is plant them. They will be delighted with a variety of wildflowers. In the case of the pink ribbon favor, 10% of proceeds will be donated to the Young Survival Coalition – an international charity dedicated to improve the lives of young women affected by breast cancer.
Happy planning!
