Do you find yourself searching for last minute wedding destination favor with a month to go before the nuptials? Is the struggle real???
Some of my typical go tos are candles, wine stoppers, labeled bags for the candy bar,
personalized letters written by you on luxurious stationary
and keychains...
But have you thought about luggage tags? Decently nice ones with all your personalized ish on them?
What
about a canvas or vacation tote...personalized. It can say as little or
as much as you want and are willing to pay for. Options are truly endless and you know Grandma and Auntie always need ANOTHER BAG! It could be a big
emblem Letter...just the 1st letter of your new last name and that's it for the simple look as well as the low low in price. If you wanted a bit more...You could keep the personalized info in a smaller font which saves your
coint but also makes the bag user friendly to a lot of people. It
doesn't have to say PAULETTA (needed a random name and Denzel and Pauletta are on my bedroom floor on the cover of Ebony lol) all big on it where folks would say, "it's nice but I
can't use THIS"...you can have Denzel weds Pauletta 2015 until forever blah blah real discreet
on the bag somewhere.
You could even put together a travel kit inside
of the personalized tote. Sometimes I encourage brides that have several out of town guests to put together lil kits. Your kit may
include sun screen and lip balm etc...of which you can personalize
alllll that jazz too.
What about putting notes in a
bottle...kind of like a SOS that would typically be found in the ocean.
You could roll up a letter that has your engagement pic also...it can be nice and generic or written specifically with each guest in mind. Engrave the bottle if you're really about that life. Gone head...do it up.
Stuck on the candy bar?? Engrave a cute lil box for the candy bar. Make sure it's a pretty sturdy one so that
people can use it to hold their candy at the reception instead of that dreaded white paper bag...that box can be used for something
else when they get home. Multipurpose.
You can pretty much get anything
engraved and it could serve as your guest's trinkets or paperweights. A flip
flop, a cruise boat, beach towel, palm tree etc. TOTALLY ENGRAVE-ABLE. For the more discreet approach, flip the item to the back and engrave Denzel and Pauletta 2015.
Wanting to step it up and CASH OUT? Try glasses. Your guests will be toasting with your favor for years to come...or until they drop. Is that just me? I don't have a full set of anything because I stay breaking something. lol.
Don't be the couple that grew tired by the time favors were discussed and just dropped the ball. You can get a lot of stuff done locally and quickly. There's always time...
~Peace
