Wedding Party Favor Ideas

  • May 31, 2010 at 6:33 am

Choosing a wedding party favor for your bridesmaids and the groom’s men can be a tough decision. Traditionally, these special wedding gifts are simple (the same item for everyone), sweet (prepared in advance) and meaningful (to thank them for spending their time and money on their wedding day outfits). Favor ideas range from engraved key rings, travel luggage tags, keepsake boxes and flasks to personalized bracelets, handbags, cufflinks and necklaces. At the end of the day, you want to show your friends that you appreciate their role in your life.

The most common gift for your bridesmaids is jewelry; in part because it’s hard to fail at this. Women, by nature, love to adorn themselves with unique, varying accessories, such as a necklace, ring, bracelet or earrings. The great thing about these unique party favors is that the bridesmaids can wear them at the wedding ceremony and also wear them to other fancy events in the future. You may want to choose a wedding party favor like the $25 Swarovski crystal monogrammed charm bracelets at www.beau-coup.com, bridesmaid jewelry sets for under $30 at www.sweetmemorybaskets.com, www.silverandjewelry.com for bridesmaid necklaces for $20-50, or www.smartbrideonline.com for a wide range of stunning jewelry/unique favors for your bridesmaids.

If many in your wedding party have traveled for your wedding or if you chose to have a destination wedding, then travel accessories can make the perfect wedding party favor. For instance, personalized cosmetic bags sell at www.beau-coup.com in a variety of styles and colors for $18 – $22, depending on the size, or you may prefer a monogrammed toiletry bag for $25. An initialed, black men’s toiletry bag can also be purchased for $28, which will hold all your friend’s deodorants, shaving creams, razors, aftershave, combs, soaps, nail clippers and other travel items. An excellent selection of men’s and women’s party favor supplies can be found at www.americanbridal.com, where women can choose from giraffe, zebra print, polka-dot or other patterned bags and men can choose leather or canvas accessory travel bags. You may also want to consider personalized luggage tags for the weary travelers.

Other wedding party favor items for the groom’s men may include money clips, cigar cases, personalized Zippo lighters, initialed pocket knives, sports duffel bags, beer glasses, BBQ tool sets, drink coasters, poker chip sets, flasks and pub signs. Men are typically looking for more practical wedding gifts, rather than sentimental gifts, as women may prefer. When selecting the best party favor supplies for your wedding, it’s ideal to choose the same thing for each of the groom’s men to minimize hassle and show no favoritism, although the best man usually gets a little something extra.
