What's the Deal with Wedding Favors + Garters (click here)
Hey Twist Readers
Welcome to "what's the deal with wedding favors+ garters". We're going to keep this one short + sweet. As a guest at several weddings and also a coordinator for dozens here are two things your guests DO NOT truly care about when it comes to your wedding. (1) The garter removal + toss (2) favors.
Do a couples Dance:
Instead of the garter toss consider asking all couples to come to the dance floor to dance. This is a cute and fun way to honor couples who have been married the longest. The couples should report to the dance floor while one-by-one the DJ counts up in years – five, ten, fifteen years and so on – asking couples to stay if they’ve been married longer than the year called. The couple on the floor the last gets a prize.
Skip the garter toss:
We've attended weddings and the garter toss was eliminated all together. The guests didn't notice the absence at all.
Favors:
When we chat with clients about their wedding favors and they insist on sending their guests home with a little trinket we recommend it's something practical. Think of something edible or functional. Below we dropped a few ideas that have been winners with guests.
