Wedding Favor Ideas

9/24/2014

 
by Jessica Weimer

When planning a wedding, most brides first thought doesn’t always go to favors. Usually it’s the dress or the décor or the amazing food they plan on having.  But favors are not something to be overlooked, especially nowadays when favors can be so fun and creative! No more with the old school bag of candy coated almonds that used to be the expected favor. Now thanks to Pinterest, and all the crafters out there, you can make your favors as memorable as your wedding.  These are My Big Day's Top 5 favorite creative ideas for wedding favors -  whether it is a DIY project for you and your bridesmaids or something customized your guests can enjoy for years to come.
1)     One of our favorite DIY favors is the pre-packaged s’mores.

These are the cutest favors for each guest’s place setting and they will loved by all!  They are really easy to make and won’t break the bank. All you need is a couple bags of graham crackers, marshmallows and chocolate, as well as small bags and twine to tie each one. If you really want to get creative get nametags and write a cute phrase such as ‘S’more Love’. Then gather all your bridesmaids to come help out in the construction of each baggie.

2)     Another really great favor for your guests is the homemade hangover kit.

This kit includes Tylenol for your aching head, water, a snack bar, hair ties, breath mints, tums and sunglasses. Now you don’t have to include that entire list but your guests will appreciate the thought the next morning after a long night of fun!


3)     If you are looking to do something that every one of your guests will enjoy than you don’t need to look any further than send home boxes of Krispy Kreme Donuts!

Who doesn’t love these melt in your mouth circles of deliciousness? You could even ask Krispy Kreme to frost them in your wedding color for an added touch. Guests will be impressed as well as truly thankful for such a yummy treat!

4)     If you really want your wedding favors to reflect you two as a couple but also give your guests something to use for a long time, then picture coasters are a really fun idea.

You just need to choose pics of either you and the groom or maybe someplace fun you went to. Then get them printed on a coaster and guests can use them in their home and always think of the fun time they had at your event! This is a great idea for the couple who travels a lot.


5)     Most times wedding favors tend to be more geared to woman, with the exception of any food related item. If you are wanted something to really impress the men in attendance than this favor is what you are looking for.

Cigars and match sets are something not everyone does as a favor but will definitely be appreciated by the male attendee’s
.

Questions to Ask Your Potential Caterer

12/26/2013

 
Picture
Hiring a great caterer can help eliminate so much unnecessary event stress. The best team will help with some of the small, yet very important details. 

Often when considering a variety of caterers, people base their decision on one of two things: a sample tasting, or the price. Of course, there is so much more to consider outside of those two things.


Ensure you get the best of the best by asking your potential caterer the following questions in your interview process.

Questions:

1. What is your approach to food recommendations and preparation? 

2. How many events have you catered?

3. What is the typical size of events you cater?

4. How many events will you be working on the day of our event?

5. Have you ever done an event at this particular location?

6. If having a buffet, do you decorate the buffet stations? If so, will I have input in the decorations?

7. How many wait staff will you bring?

8. Do you carry liquor liability insurance? If so, how much liquor liability do you carry?

9. Do you provide linens, napkins, china, flatware or glassware? If so, can I see a sample? What colors of linens are available? Is this an additional fee?

10. Will I be charged for broken items?

11. What will the wait staff and bartenders wear?

12. How much time do you need for set-up and tear down? Will these times be included in my quote?

13. Will you light the candles on my guest tables?

14. Do you offer any additional services?

15. Will the tax and service fees (gratuity) be included in my quote?

16. How much is the deposit to hold our date?

17. When is the balance due?

18. What is your cancellation policy?

With every wedding comes tradition.  With every tradition comes a twist.
Table favors have long been a common tradition as a way of saying 'thank you' to guests.

Today brides and grooms are more creative than ever!  Crafting is not only a skill it's an art form. Now seen in multiple magazines, websites, blogs and tv shows... you can craft your way to the most creative and thoughtful table favors ever.

Gone are the simple bells you'd ring with a kiss or simple chocolates set on your dessert plate.  Couples are finding the most unique ways to thank guests, as well as, present the token of their thanks.  Personalized gifts, jars of homemade preserves, mini pies, candy bars, the list goes on!  Below are some photos of table favors I found on the now "GO TO" place for all things wedding, Pinterest.  In the search area, just type in 'table favor' and you will find an amazing list of ideas for your BIG DAY!
