Choosing an appropriate favor for guests at your wedding or event can be difficult. But worry-not, The Event Group is here to help! We want to highlight some of our favorite, unique ideas that our clients have used in the past. Hopefully this will inspire you to find a favor your guests will love!

For a yearly Christmas party, the favors are always something guests look forward to. One year, a local glass-blower created custom glass ornaments on-site. The glass blower was also a great form of entertainment! At the end of the night, party-goers took home a beautifully wrapped ornament to add to their tree. Another year, we created a ‘stocking factory’ in our client’s private residence. Each guest received their name embroidered on a stocking and filled with a batch of Bella Christie’s homemade cookies. Like the glass blower, the embroidery station was a fantastic form of entertainment. Guests were able to walk up to the window where the embroidery staff took requests– needless to say, this was a big hit!

For a spring wedding, the couple chose gorgeous glass bowls on colored pedestals. The dishes were originally going to be filled with candy, but the pretty (and delicious!) sugar cookies added a personal touch and paired well with the colors and decor.

This unique favor was for a winter wedding. The sachets were printed with ‘Thank You’ and inside were heart-shaped hand warmers. Fun Fact: the bride and groom made these on their own! They stamped the sachets and sewed the warmers. Not only were they adorable, but also functional for the chilly winter day!

For Pittsburgh Steeler, Troy Polamalu’s charity event, Polamalu’s Polynesian Luau, guests were greeted by Polynesian dancers dressed in traditional attire. The dancers presented each guest with a kukui nut lei. The ‘nuts’ were black and gold to represent the Pittsburgh Steelers and each black ‘nut’ was printed with the event logo. Guests enjoyed these and wore them all night long!

This clever tag attached to a pine tree sprig read, ‘All things grow with love. Thanks for sharing our special day!’. Once planted, guests would always be reminded of the beautiful occasion!

Lastly, we love creative koozies. You can never have too many and the designs and color options are endless. These read, ‘To have and to hold and to keep your beer cold’. Guests loved sipping on their drinks with these fun and festive koozies…it was a bonus that they didn’t have cold hands!

The favor itself can be fabulous, but the presentation is just as important! Use boxes, ribbons and other packaging components to make your favor consistent with your color scheme and decor. Your guests will be wowed and feel special when they receive a beautifully wrapped gift!

So whether you want something simple or extravagant, there is a unique option out there for you. Stay inspired and keep up with our favorite favor ideas by following our Pinterest board.
