In the age of increased sustainability and novelty, when every aspect of an event must be original and photo-worthy, party favors may seem like a waste. After all, you don’t want the gift to end up in the landfill after the event ends.
In a Q&A on Instagram a few months ago, Marcy Blum (Marcy Blum Events) was asked by a follower if wedding guests still care about favors and whether people still do them. Her response: “Only if they’re thoughtful, clever, or edible.”
Don’t let party favors be an afterthought; use them to show off your creativity and define your expertise. When done well, they can live long past the event, even if only in a vivid memory. Here are some unique party favors that will impress your guests and make you stand out from the crowd.
