WEDDING FAVORS 101:
DO’S DON’TS
Don’t give favors if you
don’t have the budget or
you feel pressured
Don’t select gifts that
are bulky or heavy; they
will get left behind
Don’t make personal
branding too obvious; names
and initials should be subtle
Don’t give a gift you
would not wish to receive;
it’s a waste of money
Don’t make your own
edibles; order from a bakery
or gourmet confectioner
Don’t keep heat-sensitive edibles
outside in the summer; refrigerate them
and bring them out toward the end
Don’t keep them “hidden”;
put at table settings or on
a display at the door
