Favors
Wedding favors can be most anything imaginable, as long as they’re meaningful to the bride and groom and provide guests with a keepsake, particularly one which they can take home with them to treasure. Many couples choose favors that celebrate their cultural heritage, accent their wedding theme, or reflect the season or holiday surrounding the wedding.
Your wedding favors can be as simple as a single flower tied with a personalized ribbon that’s embossed with your names or wedding date. Or the traditional five pieces of almond candy, representing fertility, health, wealth, happiness, and longevity.
Wedding Programs
The wedding program provides your guests with helpful information about the ceremony and the reception. It lets you introduce your bridal party, the officiant, and gives order to the ceremony. Use your program to thank anyone who helped or provided a special service for you at your wedding. Lastly, it serves as a wonderful keepsake of your special day.
