What to Write on Wedding Favors
- "Thank you" is the most important statement to make. Wedding favors are themselves a thank-you to the guests for attending your wedding. Add an explicit thank-you message to the wedding favors to be clear about your gesture.
A word of thanks can be expressed in a number of ways. For a traditional and time-consuming thank you, use a calligraphy pen to write "thank you" on each wedding favor.
Save time by using pre-printed thank-you stickers. Use clear, gold, silver or any other color that complements your wedding colors. Stickers come in a wide variety of shapes including circles, squares, stars and hearts.
Try a unique approach by offering an audio thank you along with the written words. Some technologically advanced greeting cards, picture frames and even key chains allow for customizable audio messages. Record a brief thank-you message on the devices for your guests. The devices serve as customized wedding favors. - Remind your guests of the cause for celebration. Add the name of the bride and groom and the date on the wedding favors. For larger or informal weddings, use customized stickers to complete this task in a timely manner. For small or more formal weddings, write the names and date with a calligraphy pen.
Write the names and the date clearly and in a style that complements the wedding favors and the wedding itself. Be consistent. If you wrote out the date on the wedding programs instead of using numbers and dashes, write out the date on the wedding favors as well. - Use the writing on your wedding favors to reinforce your wedding theme. If you have a fairy tale-themed wedding, use a sparkly paint marker or calligraphy pen to write "Thank you for adding to the magic of our day" or "Welcome to our happily ever after."
For an informal, beach-themed wedding, write "Thank you for hanging 10 with us" or " We hope you enjoyed your fun in the sun."
Whatever the theme, write a message that coincides with the theme and tone of the wedding.
