While it’s common practice now to give out edible favors such as chocolate bars and cupcakes, the standard little keepsakes are still very much popular, so if you have a family member or friend who simply couldn’t let those pretty little favors go for sentimental reasons, why not make it easier for them to hold on to it by making it a practical part of their lives?

Weddings may come and go, but nowadays, wedding planners make it a point to make the favors last forever (or, perhaps longer than a year or so). While it’s common practice now to give out edible favors such as chocolate bars and cupcakes, the standard little keepsakes are still very much popular, so if you have a family member or friend who simply couldn’t let those pretty little favors go for sentimental reasons, why not make it easier for them to hold on to it by making it a practical part of their lives?
Need help deciding on what practical wedding favors to give? Here are five useful suggestions:
Name Card Holders — Usually placed on wedding reception tables to determine seating arrangement, your guests can take these home and use it in two ways: one, as a photo/note holder on their display shelves, or two, as actual card holders on their office work desks.
Magnets & Stationery — Especially designed magnets are readily available these days, so you can easily find something to match your wedding’s theme. You could also have your magnets customized to carry your photos, names, or couple emblem. Package them with other stationery items such as a pretty notepad or pen, and you already have a nice stationery set that your guests could use at home or in the office.
Small Potted Plants — Spruce up your reception tables by placing plant favors as wedding centerpieces. Have your names printed on the pots or tie a small ribbon with a ‘Thank You’ card on one of the stems and have your guests take home an eco-friendly gift they could nurture. Not only are you able to help the environment by helping propagate new seedlings, but you are also encouraging family and friends to do the same.
Mason Jars — Fill these up with goodies such as small pastries, candies and/or chocolates and tie a pretty bow around the neck or lid to hang your ‘Thank You’ card. I’m pretty sure your guests will be happy to bring home a jar filled with sweets to snack on and enjoy with their family members as well. After the sweets have all been consumed, the jars can still be reused as containers for food items or other knick-knacks.
Kitchen Items — Nowadays, kitchen items aren’t only made for utilitarian purposes, but for aesthetics as well. Look up cute and useful kitchen items such as salt and pepper shakers, candy dishes or bottle openers that you could easily package into wedding favors. Your guests will definitely find use for them in their homes!
