There are two different ways you can go about the Albuquerque wedding party favors: you can buy them, or you could make your own. While making your own party favors saves you money, it could end up costing you weeks of handcrafting each little gift, not to mention having to come up with a cool design. If you have a few helpers, however, this could be a great way to go. Whatever route you decide to take, there are 3 things to consider:
- Theme
- Wedding colors
- Guests
Color is important. Remember that the Albuquerque wedding party favors are going to be sitting on the reception tables alongside the floral centerpieces and linens. Therefore, it's important that they don't stand out blatantly from the rest of the décor. They should blend in and harmonize with their surroundings. It's not essential that they are the exact shade of pink or blue of your bridesmaid dresses, but that they somehow incorporate one or two of the colors in an effective manner.
Theme is also critical. Garden wedding party favors will look a bit off at a princess-themed wedding. So would glass slippers at a beach-side affair. All in all, make sure that you determine the wedding theme before you start shopping for the party favors.
Wedding party favors that serve a practical use tend to be the most successful with the wedding guests. Rather than spending hundreds of dollars on crystal ducks and engraved bookmarks, why not get something cheaper that everyone can use and enjoy? Think of edible delights, candles, pens, or picture frames. Think of specific people who are attending and things that you know they would appreciate. Chances are, if you like it and would enjoy receiving it, they would too.
