For the hosts, the right wedding favors may be as hard to find as wedding gifts may be to their guests. For while gifts have to reflect the social importance of the occasion while still accounting for the individual tastes of the recipients (both of them!), wedding favors need to satisfy one and all by being appropriate on several more levels. It may be hard enough to shop for one individual, or even a couple – but how about for an entire guest list that may span some twenty to two hundred different tastes?
Of course, not very many individuals put so much thought (and consternation!) into deciding upon the wedding favors they will give out, for those who do it’s an crucial choice right up there alongside the type of food to serve and the type of venue to use. A great idea, however, is both safely innocuous while being practical as well as elegant and reflective of the occasion: Wine glasses!
Of course, it may be cheesy to give precisely the very gifts you yourself would be receiving, but then again it might not, depending on the quality of the set you give and, let’s be honest, how “important” your wedding is socially – after all, such favors from a high-society wedding will most likely be much more treasured than something from Aunt May’s sixth time up the aisle!
All kidding aside, however, the choice of favors is an important one as it is something by which you want your guests – your friends, family, and even colleagues – to remember you and your significant other at one of the high-points of your lives. It’s like going to an exotic locale for vacation and bringing back a souvenir to your loved ones…a tee shirt. No, you’ll probably want your wedding to be rather more noteworthy than that!
