One of the many perks of going to a wedding are the favors that you get to take home. A little thank you from the couple is super sweet, but it can be stressful on the newlyweds if they don’t know what to give or how to keep the cost low. To help with some ideas, we’ve put together a list of five thoughtful & even useful favors that your guests will love & won’t break the bank!

Koozies

We’re sure you’ve seen these at a wedding you’ve been to recently. They’re a huge hit with the guests & most likely will be used again! These work for both bottled & canned beverages, so you don’t have to worry about only some of your guests enjoying them. Best of all they can be purchased online at a fair price if you order them in bulk!

Sunglasses

Who doesn’t love an extra pair of shades? If you’re having an outdoor wedding, you can order custom sunglasses with your name & date on the side for your guests to wear. For most websites, it only takes a few minutes to customize the sunglasses & they get shipped right to your home!

Coffee

This one might seem a little peculiar at first, but it is such a unique idea! To cut back on cost you can make these favor yourself!  All you need to do is put ground coffee in little bags & time them off with a tag. Try coming up with something fun to make your guests smile when they go to use the coffee after the wedding like, “Love is brewing”. You can even make a few bags with decaffeinated coffee for those people who don’t drink caffeine!
