What To Do For Wedding Favors

What to do for Wedding Favors?

 

Wedding favors have constantly evolved over the years, from the engraved champagne flute of yesteryear, to the beer koozie of today!  As a wedding vendor, I have seen hundreds of favors far and wide. Below I have some advice on how to choose the best wedding favor!

 

#1 Keep it Personal to You as a Couple

Think of this as sharing a part of you to all our guests who traveled far and wide to see help you celebrate your day.  This is the #1 most important part of choosing your wedding favor. It needs to BE YOU!

But Really, What should it be!!??

Yeah but physically, what should it be?!  Again, see #1 (above).  That is the most important thing.  The second most important thing is that the wedding favor is meaningful, AND useful!  I say there are two definitions of useful. The first is: “Will I use this after today?” The Second is:  Is this insanely YUMMY!?” At one wedding I attended, the couple gave out unique drinking glasses with their date on the glass.   I loved this gift because each time I used it, I thought of all the fun we had at their wedding! Additionally, sweet treats or good food ALWAYS WINS!  Something sweet to eat is a guaranteed hit.  Some examples are maple candies, chocolates, and really anything sweet and delicious!!  Need some other ideas? I will list some examples here and hopefully you will say “BINGO, THAT’S IT!!!”  And if you are able to combine 2 of the examples below, you have hit the nail on the head!

 

YUMMY

Local Liquor Samples

Maple Syrup

Honey

Hot Sauce !

Champagne Small Bottle

Chocolates / Chocolate Bar

A Unique Sweet Treat (i.e. Maple Nuts)

 

MEMORABLE

Mason Jar Monogrammed

Monogrammed Mug (With Coffee?)

Monogrammed Bottle Opener or Magnet

Monogrammed / Wood Drink Coaster

Mini Lanterns

How to keep it budget friendly?

Do it yourself…

Some couples have over 150 people at their wedding, and the favors can get expensive very quickly!  Firstly, do it yourself! Spend the time, and not the money! The gifts can be higher quality, and less expensive!  Not only that, but your guests will appreciate the effort and time put in, and it will make the gift more meaningful to them, and to you!!!  FOR EXAMPLE, I spend the good part of a day in the weeks leading up to my wedding making drink coasters. Not just any coasters!!! These were cut from small birch logs, with the beautiful white bark still on them (White for WEDDING!  Get it??!!) I spent the good part of a day cutting them on my chop saw (something easily borrowed or labor borrowed from a relative or friend) and then some more time polyurethaning them, so they would last!! Total cost:::: $15 can of polyurethane!  If you want to get fancy, you can wood burn your wedding date into them. That was just an example! Anything hand-made like that can be friendly on your pocket book!!!! If you save money on doing it yourself, you can perhaps add more to your favors by having more than one item!!  

 

Consider multiple items….

Perhaps an assortment, or a small basket / bucket with multiple, more inexpensive items for your guests can create a valuable and fun favor that won’t break the bank!!!!

But Really… Come on!  What should I get???  I need this done!!!

Here are some links to Vermont Wedding Favors that we love!!!  Get it done!! Enjoy!!!  These favors are sourced right here in Vermont!  We love McNeil and Reedy – made in VT products with online ordering!!!

 

Good Luck!

To you engaged couples, we wish you the best of luck with the planning process!  So many details are involved in planning a wedding, we hope this helped with some inspiration for your wedding favors!   Cheers and Congratulations!!!!  The adventure is just beginning!!!!!

 

How To Choose Your Vermont Wedding Venue

How To Choose Your Vermont Wedding Venue

Vermont offers a trove of wedding venues that offer simplistic, rustic, and relaxed elegance!

How should you go about choosing the VT Wedding Venue that is right for you?  That is the simple and correct answer. Choose the one that is right for you! There are a lot of factors that will determine this!  Below we have provided some frequently asked questions of this regard.

 

STYLE

What visual style do you want at your wedding?  Do you want a rustic elegance theme, modern, or a combination of both?  The sky’s the limit. Pinterest is a great inspiration! A site tour of your venue will give you the best idea of if this is the aesthetic you are looking for!

VIBE

What vibe do you want at your wedding?  How do you want the atmosphere and ambience to be?  Charged up and raging, or calm, relaxed, and zen? Either are great!  “What activities does your venue allow or include?” can be a great question to ask, and also for you to ask yourself what activities, if any, do you want to provide access to for your guests – AKA bean bag toss, horse shoes, excursions, hiking etc. etc.

LODGING

Where will your guests stay?  That’s a great question to ask.  And where do you, the couple, want to stay?!  If you want your guests to enjoy Burlington, and be able to roam around the city for the weekend, pick a venue that is within 30 miles!  If you don’t care about the Burlington scene, and want your guests to experience hiking or skiing, then pick a destination close to those activities, or one that is a little more remote!  Nature heals all hangovers!!? Perhaps! It is good for the soul anyhow!!!! Also, is your venue easy to find? Yes, remote locations are gorgeous! But make sure uncle Jim can find the place and isn’t racing in during your wedding ceremony!

VENDORS

Is the staff nice at the venue?  Is the staff kind, helpful, and do they communicate well?  It’s the perfect indicator on how your wedding day will be.  Your vendors should be prompt to communicate regarding the details and all of your questions.  They would be happy to help you, and never annoyed by any “inconvenience.” It’s never an inconvenience to help a client when that is your job!!!!  Vendors and staff are the key to your wedding’s success! So make sure they are friendly and helpful!!!

CONCLUSION

There are so many factors to consider when picking a wedding venue in Vermont.  Luckily, there are many options to choose from! Remember to pick a vibe that feels right, and suits you as a couple, and your guests!  Pick a venue that you and your guests will remember and cherish, and want to return to for years to come! Good luck, and may the wedding force be with you!!!!  To our engaged couples reading this – cheers and congratulations!!!  The adventure has just begun!!!!
