Ten Tips When Ordering Your Party Favors
We often have many clients ask for our advice when ordering their favors,
and we love to assist them!
We would like to share the answers to the ten most commonly asked questions
we receive from our clients when ordering their party favors.
1- Try to incorporate your favors into your party theme. For example if you are having a Diamond Theme wedding, try favors with rhinestone accents.
If you are having a Beach Theme celebration, try favors such as a tropical drink mixes.
For a Tiffany theme, aqua blue and white with a touch of sparkle is perfect!
2- Mix and match your favor colors to coordinate with your color scheme for a stunning display. You will add an extra decor element to your tables without the extra cost. Here's one example - if your colors are pink, black and white, try ordering pink boxes with white bows and black rhinestone accents mixed with white boxes with pink bows and black rhinestone accents. Fill with alternating coordinating colored candies.
3- Your favors should be a reflection of you and should celebrate your personality. Select either colors you love, an activity you love or a city or place that holds special memories for you. 4- A general rule of thumb when counting the number of favors to order is: order one favor per single guest and one favor per couple attending your event. When incorporating our favor boxes into your table decor, we recommend one per place
setting. For candy buffet bags we recommend one per person.
5- If you are having children and adults attending your celebration, try ordering two types of age appropriate favors. Children will love candies or coloring book sets while the adults will
prefer coaster sets or truffles.
6- When ordering a monogram on your favors or cake topper for one person, the first initial of the first name is placed on the left, the first initial of the last name is placed in the middle,
and the first initial of the middle name is placed on the right.
If the monogram is for a couple, the first initial of the bride's name is placed on
the left, the first initial of the couple's last name is placed in the center and the first initial of
the groom's name is placed on the right.
7- If you are ordering personalized favors always double and triple check your order for spelling errors to prevent your favors from being printed with the incorrect celebration date or name. A simple typo unchecked can create delays and unnecessary extra costs with the
entire order.
8- When ordering personalized favors always carefully read the number of characters allowed on each line including spaces and punctuation so there aren't any delays in shipping your order.
9- Always make sure you order enough favors for your guests. It is better to over order than to place a rush order for additional pieces. Dye lots may differ and you will incur additional shipping charges and perhaps
rush fees.
10- Have left over favors from your celebration? If you are giving edible favors, why not donate them to a charity or a food bank?
Your clergy from your ceremony or wait staff from your reception would also appreciate
a token of your thanks.
Also try saving extra favors for future hostess gifts, last minute holiday gifts or welcome gifts.
