When it comes to wedding favors, you can’t go wrong with a practical gift. Guests are far more likely to appreciate a yummy snack, a tasty drink, or even something they can use over a trinket bearing your name and wedding date.

Chocolates, candy, and specialty foods make for excellent favors—and chocolates can be purchased in shapes that match your wedding theme. Candy bars are a popular trend, and can be personalized to reflect you as a couple.

Another option is to skip the favors altogether and make a donation to a favorite charity in honor of your guests. Let them know what you’ve done by putting a card at each place setting—or one large card for the entire table—that contains details on the donation.

Often, funds earmarked for favors end up sidelined by larger budget concerns. One way to cut back on cost is to purchase one favor per couple, and one for singles. Arrange them on a table near the exit so guests will see them on their way out.
