Although the purpose of having a favor bag is that the 'favor' goes inside - it is the actual favor bag that makes the initial impression.
Take advantage of this and look around until you find the bag that say's "I'm the one"! Favor bags come in different styles, fabrics, shapes, and colors.
Some things to think about when looking for a favor bag: 1.
Should it be made of a certain material? Many brides turn to organza favor bags for their wedding favors.
They are sheer, elegant and typically can be found a variety of sizes and colors.
An organza bag can make even the smallest of favors seem special.
There are also frosted favor bags that lend an elegant twist to a traditional 'paper' favor bag.
2.
Should it be personalized? Personalized favor bags, although a bit more expensive, add an element of class to the favor bag especially since most choose to personalize their bags with monogram tag (although personalizing it with just a first name is also popular).
You typically can color coordinate these bags to match the décor of your event.
3.
Do I want to give keepsake bags? These bags are as much about the 'giving' as is the favor inside.
These typically are either whimsical or extremely beautifully and are also durable so that they can be used again.
We've all received small gift bags (often used as favor bags) that we were just thrilled to receive! 4.
Do I want my bag to be eco-friendly? Although this wasn't a concern until a few years back - many couples are opting not to put their favors in a favor bag at all.
Instead they just place each favor at an individual's place setting if it is a sit-down meal or on a table that guests will pass as they leave the event.
Another alternative is to select a favor bag that is, at least in part, made from recycled material or is made from sustainable materials.
