You can personalize your favors further by adding homemade thank you tags to each one. These can be made featuring a photo of you and your partner and can be printed at a local print shop. Because you can fit so many on each page due to their small size, they should be fairly inexpensive to produce.

Ordering Favors

It is always a wise idea to order wedding favors well in advance. You need to allow lots of time for shipping and potential issues to be resolved (for example, if a box goes missing or is damaged during shipping, you need to have enough time to replace it!). Order you favors three months before the wedding. When you are ordering favors, make sure you have enough for everyone at your wedding. It is recommended that you purchase some extras, just in case! If you don’t use them, they make lovely keepsakes, and you can always distribute the extras amongst your bridal party.
