#35 The Do’s and Don’ts of Wedding Favors

The Do's and Don'ts of Wedding Favors - Episode #35

Wedding Favors…Oh, the like hate relationship we have with them. As we're sure you know that we here at From Ring to Veil are not fond of the wedding favor unless it is something unique or practical. We feel that as a guest a favor and/or a gift is not necessary. Guests are there to enjoy and share in the wedding celebrations. BUT if you feel as though you need or want to give a favor please do. But before you hand out the bubble or jar of jelly, do a little research and go with something unique that isn't going to be left or thrown away.

We have some wedding favor do's and don'ts for you to consider.
