Tips For Choosing Wedding Favors In NYC

By Marissa Velazquez


Wedding favors are not as important as say wedding cake or dress but they are still a great way of appreciating your guests for creating time to attend the function. Favors do not also have to be costly. What is important is that they reflect your personality and that your guests can use them. The problem however lies in choosing appropriate gifts due to numerous options that couples have. Below are tips to help you choose suitable wedding favors in NYC for your big day.

One way is to go with the theme of the ceremony. The best way of achieving this is to wrap the gifts or box them in color theme of the day. You can also personalize favors using colored ribbons, labels or any other themed additions. These will even help guests identify theme of the function with ease.

You will also have to settle on the type. There are very many types of gifts you can choose from ranging from edible, decorative, fun and wearable. Edible presents are things like chocolates, wine, cookies and anything edible that you can give out. Decorative presents include picture frames, candles and many others. Choose something that is suitable and also usable.

You must also not interfere with your budget in the name of buying expensive nuptial presents. You have to go with gifts that are affordable. The best way to achieve this is to compare prices. First you need to write down your top three choices and see which one will be pocket friendly.

Another way to reduce the cost of these gifts is to search for those gifts that couples can share like cupcake boxes, potted plants and so many more. Opting for couple gifts will mean that you only order for half the number. This is a great way of saving money as opposed to buying for each person a gift.

It is not a must that you buy gifts to your guests. In fact if you want to be more altruistic, you can contribute money set aside for gifts to a charitable organization. This can be a great way of honoring a loved one who passed on. It would however be important to inform your guests about the contribution. It is also important to do a follow up just to ensure that the money was spent the right way.

When you decide to give the presents out also matters a lot; in most cases, they are always given at the end of the reception. You can also put them just at the entrance so that guests can pick them on their way out, this will ensure that nobody misses out. Another idea is to assign ushers to distribute this. This will ensure that nobody takes two.

Uniqueness is also very important in choice of wedding favors in NYC. Do not just pick gifts that people are used to. In order to make them indispensable, the gifts must be unique. This is where homemade gifts become useful.
