One of the most common mistakes in traditional weddings is to make the delivery of wedding favors a stressful time for the bride and groom.
This moment should never be a distraction from the party, especially during the time of the dances when the couple is carefree, happy and immersed in their much sought-after atmosphere.
To prevent the bride and groom from being constantly interrupted for the delivery of wedding favors, I have come up with practical solutions to help everyone enjoy the wedding.
Place the favors directly at the table
This way each guest finds their favor in front of the plate, avoiding the need for manual delivery later in the party. It can be an original solution to attach a card with the placeholder name, thus making the favor an integral decoration of the table.
Create a dedicated and highly visible corner on location
Agreeing with the venue on a space that is easily accessible and visible to all, with clear signs inviting guests to take their favors themselves, is another popular solution lately.
For example, placing all the party favors on a small table and adding a clearly visible tag that reads “Pick me up and take me home with you” helps guests clearly understand what to do.
Announce the location of wedding favors during the reception
If you do not have a prominent space for wedding favors, during the evening the bride and groom can alert the guests from the microphone about where to find them, telling them to get them themselves, thus avoiding interruptions later on.
Avoid regrets related to wedding favors: the happiness of the bride and groom comes first
I see too often parents angry at the bride and groom because they did not hand-deliver each and every favor to their relatives, or couples regretting that they forgot to deliver a gift to a guest because they did not remember during the party. But the wedding is the bride and groom’s celebration, and their happiness comes before any tradition.
Do not let the handling of wedding favors become a burden for you or a source of regret after the party.
If you want to give them as gifts, do so with pleasure, but without compromising your freedom to enjoy the day. A well-organized wedding also takes into account the logistics of these little things so that each moment flows naturally without unnecessary interruptions.
Plan ahead to handle your wedding favors and you will save yourself a lot of stress on your big day!
