What is Wedding Favor?

Wedding favors are small gifts that couples give to their guests as a thank you for attending and celebrating their special day. Traditional favors include wrapped candies, personalized items, or small keepsakes. Modern couples often choose edible favors (cookies, chocolates, honey jars, mini bottles), practical items (succulents, candles, coasters), or charitable donations made in guests' names. Favors are typically placed at each place setting or on a designated favor table. While favors are a nice gesture, they're not mandatory, and many couples are opting to skip them in favor of other special touches or cost savings.
