Wedding Gift Favors

Any talk on wedding gifts would be incomplete without wedding favors i.e. a return gift from the couple to the guests, to thank them for coming to their wedding and blessing them. Personalized wedding party favors such as cups or napkins, which have the name of the bride and groom as well as the wedding date, printed on them are a good choice. Chocolate boxes, candy containers, heart-shaped glass coasters, mini-lanterns, decorative silky fans in Japanese style, scented candles, candle holders, wine or champagne bottles are some of the other options you can look into.
