Your wedding day is special because it is a day that you will remember forever! But brides also want their guests to remember their big day. For brides, it’s natural that you want everything to be perfect on your wedding day hence every little detail matters.

This is where the party-favors come in. One way to add a personal touch to your wedding is by giving the wedding guests personalized gifts and giveaways that they will cherish & use in future & remember that it’s from you. Choosing the wedding favors process needs more attention to detail, creativity, and a pinch of fun.

I had the pleasure to interview the very sweet Farida from Passion District.  Her company makes custom items & gifts for weddings, birthdays, family parties, Eid, and other occasions. I personally had seen her products and fell in loveeeee with the Flower-Soaps that look like real roses.

Farida shed the light of her knowledge & experience & shared the following 5 points with future brides about 5 Things You Should Know About Wedding Favors / Gifts / Giveaways.

1. Know The Wedding Theme. Make sure you know exactly what your wedding party theme, colors, logo will be. Once you have the wedding theme idea, it’ll be easier to choose party favors that match all other details so they look aesthetically pleasing to the eyes as well as serve as a reminder of your wedding even after years.
2. Packaging matters. ALOT! How you present wedding gifts/giveaways is as important as the gift itself. The packaging doesn’t have to be expensive but it must match the colors/patterns/theme of the gift and the overall wedding theme.
3. Innovation and creativity: It is about time that the brides think out of the box. Make sure the wedding favors/giveaways are not only beautiful, but also beneficial & useful. You can always search on Pinterest for great ideas for inspiration or simply ask your favors provider if they have any unique items that match your wedding theme.
4. Mouthwatering delicacies. You may choose delicious sweets, cookies, or small jars that contain nuts and marshmallows, or small chocolate bars decorated with patterns or with couple’s names and wedding date. One thing to must keep in mind is that if any of your guests is allergic to nuts or anything else, absolutely avoid taking risks and go for the following option.
5. Opt for Souvenirs. If you want to give your wedding guests something that they want to keep & use forever, always go for elegant and beautiful souvenirs. Unlike the option above, this idea is more like ‘one size fits all’. You may choose something your guests won’t throw away after one use. Like handcrafted jewelry, soaps, picture frames, perfumes, bookmarks, compact mirrors, scented candles, etc.
