Favors that your guests will actually take!

And as a planner, at the end of the night it is sad seeing all of those favors go in the trash because guests did not want to take them. But, here are some favor ideas that your guests will be scouting the tables at the end of the night to take the favors from those dancing! COOKIES! CANDLES! CANDY! KOOZIE! SUCCULENTS! BOTTLE OPENER! LOTTERY TICKETS! DONATIONS! This is a new and evolving trend, but instead of doing favors, a couple may opt into donating to their favorite charity with the money that would have partaken into their guests receiving favors!

Why Welcome Bags Are The Best Favors!

You may be wondering, what exactly is a welcome bag? Well, a welcome bag is a treat given to guests typically at a welcome party or dinner. Inside the welcome bag are little trinkets and necessities that they might need throughout the wedding day. A few items guests and planners love to see in welcome bags are... ~ Itineraries (for your guest to know exactly where to be and when)! ~ Mini sunscreens (so your guest do not show up red on the wedding day)! ~ Advil packets (to help the day after the wedding)! ~ Water bottles (to stay hydrated)! ~ Liquid IV's (to stay even more hydrated)! ~ Chips (for munchies)! ~ Koozies (these can be customized so cute)! ~ Sunglasses (these can also be customized so cute)! ~ Local favorite treats!

I come from an entrepreneurial family and always knew I wanted to start a business.   What is your all time proudest moment that Swanky has given you in the last 10 years? I have so many proud moments. When the rental division  first starting taking off it was pretty chaotic. There was no rhythm and structure. I love all the amazing systems we have put into place. I love watching our team grow professionally and individually. We are blessed to have such a talented group.   Did you ever think Swanky would be where it is today?
