Your guests, looked after

Favors Guests Actually Use

Many couples skip favors entirely, and nobody minds. If you do give something, things to eat and things to use get taken home. Personalized trinkets get left on the table.

Prices are approximate and can change. Check the shop for today's price.

Don't forget, nothing to buy

  • What guests leave behind: personalized koozies, mint tins, frames, coasters, shot glasses, magnets with the date and seed packets.
  • Half of couples choose edible favors and they have the highest take-home rate; if you do favors at all, feed people.
  • Candy buffets leave a lot of candy at the end of the night; a boxed slice of cake to go gets taken.
