If you were reading back when I was planning my wedding you’d know that wedding favors were the last thing on my mind. I wasn’t trying to be cheap, I just didn’t think it was important.Later on, I started to get a little cheap, though I prefer the phrase, financially conscious about a one day event, however neglecting this aspect wasn’t initially due to finances.
A few weeks before the ceremony my mother asked me what was I going to do about wedding party favors, and at the time it was the last thing I wanted to hear. I was stressed out, tired of people telling me what to do, tired of people RSVPing late,tired of people questioning why my sister wasn’t in the wedding and on and on.
I don’t care I’M NOT HAVING FAVORS I said quite rudely. This was a phone conversation, so I assumed she rolled her eyes, went to the store, and picked up some materials, because she and my aunt handmade some of the most unique wedding favors I’d ever seen.
We live in different states so my mom had to mail a sample to me. “Wow, these are so pretty”, I said when I opened up the box.
So now I’ve changed a bit. I’m not so anti-wedding favor anymore. If you are going to have them, they might as well be useful and unique. I mean while I love you a lot, I don’t know what I’m going to do with a framed pic of you and the groom…know what I mean?
For instance, look at these Bride and Groom Notepads, they are cute and useful. Who doesn’t need a notepad tucked away in their purse or in the counter drawer at home?
That’s my advice for today. Keep it useful. By the way, you can find those notepads at HQWeddingFavors.com
