Wedding Favor Trends

You know you've chosen a good wedding favor when there are none left at the end of the reception. While it's unusual for there not to be at least some leftover wedding favors, it's a noble goal to aim for! The wedding favors that get the most attention are usually those that are edible, though trendy wedding favors are also beloved by guests. Below you'll find some of the favors that are popular with today's brides...and today's guests.

Unusual Wedding Favors
One trend that we definitely see at events we DJ for is wedding favors that tend toward the unusual. The old classic wedding favor ideas -- think matchbooks and almonds -- have gone out the door because brides and grooms want to give their guests something unique that will be kept and remembered.

Exotic Wedding Favors
Pushing the limit is hot right now because brides and grooms love to inject a little creativity into their event. Items from exotic locales fit the bill because they aren't going to be something your guests just saw in a nearby shop window. For example, a small potted bamboo sprig from China is a popular wedding favor right now. Look for wedding favors from foreign countries or cultures.

Elegant Wedding Favors
Smaller and more elegant wedding favors are gaining in popularity. A single chocolate truffle or sachet of gourmet tea will delight your guests...and more than likely get used.

Personalized Wedding Favors
If you want your guests to remember your wedding, give them something with your name and the wedding date on it! Adding little personal touches like a picture of the couple to be married makes any keepsake more keep-worthy. Some brides and grooms are even adding the name of each guest to make their favors extremely personalized. This is a very nice gesture and one that your guests will love!
