Shabby Chic Wedding Favors
Shabby chic does not have to resemble the typical wedding everyone is accustomed to attending. Think outside of standard wedding must-haves.
For instance, wedding favors do not have to be an elaborate, expensive, trendy item to take home. Instead try a candy table filled with vintage type candies in the color-scheme of the wedding.
Guests can visit the candy buffet and fill a bag, box, or other container with candy to enjoy at the moment or take home for later.
Tip: Guests typically prefer edible favors over novelty ones, like miniature frames or figurines.
The container can be as simple as a treat bag or maybe a small jar with a ribbon holding the bride and groom’s initials.
Either way, the cost remains much lower than the store bought wedding favors.
