5 Great Party Favors Your Guests Will Love

At Pop Parties, we see party favors as an extension of the greater vision. A welcome box or gift bag is often the first impression for your guests. Why not make it a standout? We’ve all seen the cookie-cutter version — a bag of chips, a plastic water bottle, Advil, electrolytes, and breath mints. Sure, those are useful, but they might as well come from the hotel or the convenience store down the street; there’s nothing special or uniquely related to the occasion. Don’t let your party favor be an afterthought, but instead a thoughtful detail planned in advance. Here are some unique ideas to serve as inspiration!

Frame it!

Picture this — your guests have booked hotels, flights, maybe even bought a new outfit for your wedding. Encourage them to mark the occasion by including simple, elegant picture frames in your welcome box. Advertise a print-out photo station at your cocktail hour or reception, and now they have the ultimate keepsake — a gorgeous photo from your event where they look their best!

Brunch in a box

In lieu of a traditional morning after brunch, send your guests home with a curated box of pastries and treats. You can include your favorite bites, highlight a local delicacy, or even feature homemade goodies. Your guests can enjoy them even if they have an early flight out, serving as a sweet sendoff!

Edible favors

As luxury wedding planners we love a gorgeous menu, but what about one that tastes as good as it looks? Wow your guests by kicking the traditional reception dinner up a notch with custom pressed chocolate. Now you can have your menu — and eat it too!

Elevate a classic

I know, I know. Everyone does the coffee tumbler. It’s functional, but it can be so much more. Elevate the traditional mug as a keepsake from your destination to remind guests of their trip — and keep them hydrated in their hotel room. These high-quality water bottles feature a custom engraving of a unique wedding venue, serving as a fond memory for guests.

“From our table to yours”

A creative escort wall is a great opportunity to feature fun favors! Instead of just the traditional name and table number, you can include a little book of beloved family recipes, letting your guests know how special they are to you. Now, they’re all a part of your family.

Party favors are a chance for you to explore your creativity, highlight your venue or culture, and give your guests a reminder of your big day that will last long after they return home. They’re an essential part of the guest experience and deserve the same level of thought and care you’d give to any other element. Memorable favors make for memorable events!
