Six Ideas for Favors at Your Next Big Event
Favor boxes are great to have for weddings, parties, corporate events, and other social occasions. They can contain small but neat goodies for all those who show up and attend. Favor boxes are small and sturdy boxes that are available in clear or in solid colors, and are highly customizable for your specific occasion. They can be decorated by hand with arts and crafts for that old-school charm, or customized professionally in a way that a corporate entity prefers. The possibilities are endless.
Here are some ideas of what you can give to your guests as gifts inside a solid or clear favor box.
Chocolate Bar
Chocolate bars are delightful to almost everyone, and they are also highly customizable themselves, too. Purchase chocolate bars in bulk, and you can determine the size, prints, and labels of all of them, in case you opt to not choose store-bought or generic-looking chocolate. Chocolate bars can be bought in many different varieties, such as milk chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate, almonds, rice, and more.
Flower Seeds
This is especially acceptable for weddings. Flower seeds are symbolic of harmony and growth, which make your gift to your guests much more meaningful. Recipients of these seeds can go home and plant them, so that they can bloom and enjoy beautiful and fresh-smelling flowers in their yard or in flower pots. As far as what kind of flowers are acceptable, it’s really anything goes. You are welcome to pick your favorite flower as your seed of choice.
Candles
Candles can undeniably look great when lit, and can make a room smell festive and invigorating. Candles come in an unlimited amount of scents, and small candles can definitely fit inside of a clear favor box for guests at your event. You can choose to buy assorted candles that are available in many different colors and scents, or just pick your favorite scent that all of your guests can enjoy. You can even consider candles as the favor of choice at corporate events, sporting your company’s brand colors.
Coffee Mugs
Mugs can be used to commemorate any event. They are great for expressing just about any message, from newlyweds to graduates to businesses. Mugs can be made to look artistic, high quality, and beautiful in materials such as tin or ceramic. They can come in any color and you can put any message on them to make them truly one-of-a-kind. If not used for a person’s morning cup of coffee, they can be used instead for decorations or collections in the home.
Keychains
Another highly customizable favor that you can hand out in favor boxes are keychains. They can either be small or large, can come in any kind of shape, color, and material, and can be used by anybody that attends your event. Regardless if you choose to go with metal, pewter, plastic, or any other type of keychain, there is no shape or message that you cannot have when it comes to using them as favors.
Drink Coasters
Not necessarily a favor that you would present on its own, they are great extras in case you do not feel like what you have in your favor boxes currently is enough. Coasters for drinks are customizable, serve a great purpose to anybody, and can look marvelous. Coasters are also easy to design with round or square shapes and can be bought very cheaply in bulk, so consider coasters a last-minute addition to any event that features your favors. Coasters can also be made in sturdier materials like soft PVC, glass, leather, silicone, and cork.
