Give your guests a meaningful wedding party favor to remember your big day.
Picking out the perfect wedding party favors can be a challenge because it’s the one keepsake your guests will have to remember your big day. With endless options — some of the more popular ones being olive oil, matchbooks, and succulents — it can be tricky to find something different and original. Every couple’s love story is special in its own way, and your wedding day is a reflection of that.
According to Etsy’s trend expert, Dayna Isom Johnson, 2020 will be “the year of purpose.” This means that couples are making thoughtful decisions to choose details with more meaning and symbolism. Some of the most important elements of a wedding are the invitations, escort cards and, of course, wedding party favors. They should feel special, unique, and cohesive with your overall theme and “vibe.”
One of the biggest trends we’re seeing lately are wellness-related wedding favors. I’m not talking about face masks or body scrubs, but gifts that make you feel good and encourage a greater purpose. From gorgeous loose-leaf teas to wildflower seeds and even a palo santo cleansing kit, there are countless options for wellness wedding party favors. Your guests will appreciate carefully handmade items like all-natural scented soap and lip balm. You can also help them relax and restore with a CBD-infused bath bomb or some therapy play dough. The best part? Most of these wedding party favors ideas are customizable and help support independent artists, which adds even more meaning to your big day.
