Should We Give Our Wedding Guests Favors At Our Wedding Rehearsal Dinner?
We say, yes! Wedding favors are the ideal way to express your gratitude towards your guests. This gesture shows them that you are thankful for their presence at your wedding weekend!
The right thoughtful gift can serve as a memento for years to come. These favors can help your guests remember your wedding and the special moments they shared with you during the whole weekend.
Plus when you give it to them the night before, they can remember to take it with them. Sometimes after the chaos and FUN of the wedding day itself, the favors get lost, forgotten or left behind. If you hand favors out at the welcome party or rehearsal dinner it increases the likelihood that your guests will get their favor!
Why Give Favors At The Wedding Rehearsal Dinner Instead Of Wedding?
Giving favors at your wedding welcome party or the wedding rehearsal dinner can be the ultimate way to set the tone for the whole wedding weekend. Let your wedding guests know you appreciate them…from the very beginning! They have likely traveled and taken time out of their busy schedules to be at your wedding to celebrate you. A favor is a nice, simple way to express gratitude to your wedding guests.
Whether you are going to also give them favors at the wedding and the pre-wedding festivities, or just opting for the rehearsal dinner, these pre-wedding festivities are a great time to give your guests favors before the busy wedding day.
Because, let’s be real…sometimes your wedding guests are having so much fun at your wedding reception that they simply miss the favors or forget to get some for themselves before the end of the night!
What Kind Of Favors Should We Give At The Wedding Rehearsal Dinner?
We have a great list of creative wedding favor ideas for your wedding rehearsal dinner or welcome party. From personalized keepsakes, to useful items, to special treats, your guests will appreciate whatever type of favor you choose. And better yet, they will appreciate that you gave it to them before the wedding so they don’t loose or forget it.
When choosing what items you’d like to give your guests, make it personal, thoughtful and in line with your wedding style and theme to ensure a truly memorable rehearsal dinner.
We love a wedding favor that they can use right away, something that is useful and functional. If you’re giving your favors out at the rehearsal dinner or welcome party, your wedding guests will be able to enjoy their favor or welcome gift throughout the wedding weekend.
Keep in mind that many of your weddings guests might be traveling, so favors that are small, travel-friendly or can be used right away or throughout your wedding weekend are best. For example, bottles of water and a small snack or treat in a custom designed tote bag with your wedding logo would be the ideal wedding favor gift. They can enjoy the water and treats and reuse the bag for many things!
Here’s our list of our favor types of favors to give guests at rehearsal dinners or wedding welcome parties:
Custom tote bags
Wine, champagne or sparkling water
Useful kitchen tool or home decor gadget
Custom candles
Local items unique to your wedding’s venue or region
Food or treats they can enjoy right away
Where Should We Buy Rehearsal Dinner Favors For Our Wedding Guests?
Creative wedding favors are easy to find online! We always recommend Etsy for wedding favor ideas - or even add-ons to your favors like wine bottle labels to customize the wine you’ll be gifting, etc. Purchasing through Etsy helps support small businesses and provides you the perfect way to purchase creative, unique or personalized favors for your guests.
What Is Your Best Wedding Favor Pro Tip?
If you’re giving out favors that you hope your wedding guests will enjoy right away or throughout the weekend, be sure to include anything they might need to enjoy your favor.
For example, if you’ll be gifting them a bottle of wine, be sure to also include a wine bottle opener. Likewise, if you’re gifting coffee or tea, be sure to also include a mug so they can enjoy their favor during your wedding weekend.
