Favors

A favor is a small gift given to guests who are attending a party, or an event such as a wedding, shower or birthday. Wedding favors are given to show thanks and appreciation to the guests for attending the party or event. These favors are often keepsakes that guests can take home. There are many useful keepsake favors such as bottle openers, wine stoppers and candle favors.

In the United States and Canada favors are a tradition for guests attending a bridal shower or a wedding. In recent years favors have become very popular at birthday parties and even corporate events since they are an inexpensive thank you gift. The idea of giving favors continues to spread to nearly every life event from graduation party favors and anniversary parties to baptism & communion.

Popular favors for birthday parties are favor boxes filled with candy and inexpensive favors such as cup cake candles. Our recent market research at Favors & Gifts by Donna indicates many prefer to offer favors in small "gift bags" as well, filled with a handful of favors, little toys or candy and other small gifts.

Wedding favors are also popular to aid guests in celebrating. Most wedding favors are considered keepsakes and they enhance the party and help your wedding reception guests have a lot more fun.
