Top 10 Wedding Favors for 2009

Brides have so many decisions to make – who to invite, what to wear, wedding colors, shoes (oh the shoes), flowers, food, venues, seating charts – the list is endless!

So, I thought it might be helpful if I gave you a peek inside a bridal survey, where brides tell what they want and what they love!  Here are the Top Ten Wedding Favors for 2009 (so far this year) …

10. Incredible Edibles!
“Edibles” is the best way I can think of to categorize cookies and candy and wine (but that might be drinkables?). Brides love to give their guests a little “edible love” as a wedding day thank you.


While I don’t have any specific cookie or wine suggestions, I can tell you that our Mint To Be’s are a huge hit at receptions!

9. Soaps!
Seriously! Not a bar of Irish Spring at every place – but cute ones (like ours :) Your guests will love them!  Soaps

8. Eco-Friendly Favors!
Many couples are planning "green" weddings and making environmentally friendly decisions. Inviting Invites offers several creative ideas for “green” wedding favors & eco friendly wedding supplies. Our popular green wedding confetti is festive & completely water soluble & bio-degradable. Other eco friendly wedding favors include personalized seed cards & bamboo coasters. Don’t forget to check out eco-friendly invitations & stationery.

7. Kitchen Items!
I know, you’re thinking an engraved soup spoon or something like that. But listen to a quote from a bride when we asked her for an idea of the perfect favor …”Since we are known for our cooking and love of fine food, a kitchen gadget would be ideal!”

It’s not a “gadget”, but we think this idea’s pretty practical, and pretty clever, too! Also a perfect number seven on our Top Ten Wedding Favors survey results.

6. Garden/Outdoor Themed Favors!
We know that Outdoor/Garden Theme Favor Favorites make little spike in popularity during the warmer months. And as usual, we are always thinking up new ways to satisfy your wishes!   Don’t forget to check out our garden themed invitations & stationery.

5.  Seasonal Favors!
If you’re getting married in a season (and you know you are – tee hee), then you might want to look around for something unique and memorable that evokes your chosen wedding season. Search our online catalog and you’ll find a category called “Theme Favors” – that’s where you’ll find the perfect seasonal keepsake for your wedding.

4. Place Card Holders
Nope, not just for placecards any more. Our place card holders multi-task! Use one of our memory albums as a place card holder, then slip in a thank you note on the first page, and include a few photos of you and your fiance on the inside. The golf ball place card holder is perfect for country club weddings, and it hides a tealight! Beach wedding? Adirondack Chair – and slip an engagement picture behind the place card in the frame for happy thoughts later on down the line. OK, I’ll stop. But I just get so excited!

3. Favor Boxes!
Coming in at number three among our brides in the Top Ten Wedding Favors list is an old standard, the favor box. One center plate, holding a sweet treat, a wonderful thought, a thank you from the heart. (You know, this makes me think I need to write a post about what to put in favor boxes. Hmm….idea!)

2. Wine and Bar Accessories!
Aha! I know why this one is such a big favorite – everyone can use them! We always add a dash of practical into our cuteness factor!  Wine and Bar Accessories

#1   Candles!
I don’t need to say anything more about the Number One favorite favor for 2009. We all love candles. Enough said.

So did that help some? I hope so! Happy planning!
