Practical wedding favors make for gifts that guests won’t leave on the table or throw in the trash after your event. When choosing a favor, this is should be your most important concern.
So many people thrive on sweets so edible favors have always been a hit at wedding. But what if you prefer giving your guests something that will forever remind you of your event? A gift they’ll love using after your wedding or something they’ll keep as a special memento. A practical wedding favor is the way to go!
While choosing a gift that reflects both personalities is important, finding one that your guests will truly enjoy using is a different story. Take for example personalized guitar picks. They are lovely; you can even have your pretty faces printed on them. If playing guitar is your passion, you will be tempted by such favor. Take a moment, and ask yourself ‘What will my guests do with a guitar pick?’ Not much actually…. your pick will most likely end up in the junk drawer.
Should you choose a personalized favor? … Maybe or maybe not! Don’t get me wrong, a personalized gift can be really fun making for a great practical favor. It all depends on what it is. A hand sanitizer bottle personalized with your names and date of wedding is a great idea. What would not be as great is a personalized decorative item and expecting your guests to display it of their coffee table, or hang on a wall. That’s pushing it! One way you can get away with it, is to personalize with a monogram, and the year of your wedding only. This will add to the charm and vintage look of your favor.

Wine bottle stoppers are a universal practical favor favorite. For our daughter’s engagement party, we decided on the lovely love knot bottle stopper for a special gift for our guests. We were more than pleased with our choice and it was a hit with our guests. I find this gift so practical and every time I use it (which is a lot!) I lovingly think of my daughter.
Just like wine bottle stoppers, bottle openers make also for practical favors that your guests will enjoy using. My favorite is the travel corkscrew and for years, I have been travelling with mine!
