Planning for Wedding Favors
Why should you give wedding favors? Because a wedding favor is a
way of saying 'thank you.' It's the perfect way of showing

Your wedding favors should be functional. If you're using them
as place-settings, attach a ribbon with each persons name to a
tag. If you're allowing someone to pass the wedding favors out,
attach your thank you cards, rather than mail them later.
