Wedding favors are keepsakes given to your guests as a thank you for sharing your special day.  When planning the many details associated with your wedding, the decision to have or not have  wedding favors for your guests is a difficult one. With some thought to this issue, you will avoid giving tacky  wedding favors to your guests.  Wedding favors are a good idea simply because they are a tasteful reminder to your guests that they are both special and well thought of.  Wedding favors are also an attractive addition to the tables, matching your color scheme, decor, and/or theme, and the right  wedding favor will remind your guests of the wonderful time they had at your wedding.
You can do research on the many different styles of wedding favors online before deciding on which type to purchase. Remember, different wedding favor websites have different wedding favor product lines, and the favors they display depend on their suppliers.

Wedding favors do not need to be expensive in order to be well received, however, the number of wedding favors needed for guests can add up, even for simple wedding favors. One favor per guest is the rule of thumb, so having in mind how many people will be attending your wedding will greatly assist you in establishing your wedding favor budget. Once you have your budget in place, it is recommended you search for the best local wedding favor vendors to negotiate the best price. 

If cost is a major issue, you can also make your wedding favors instead of buying them. After you have bought your favor supplies, invite a group of people (perhaps your bridal party) over to assemble them. The more popular self-made wedding favors include decorated little picture frames, candies or jelly beans in a little bag, and decorated candles, or wedding bells.
