Personalized Tissue Packs

A group of misty-eyed guests is a sure-fire sign that you've planned a beautiful wedding. Rather than reaching for the communal tissue box to dry those happy tears, you can provide your guests with personalized tissue packs that are disposable. When it comes to wiping one's face, single-use tissue packs are ideal.

Emergency Kit Party Favor

While emergency kit party favors are a popular staple for bachelor/bachelorette parties, they can also be customized for wedding party favors. Many pre-packaged hangover kits include items like aspirin and band-aids, which can come in handy after a night of drinking. You can create your own kits using a combination of health-conscious elements, like Emergen-C, a pen for your guest book, a wineglass namer, disposable face masks & gloves, and hand sanitizer.

Drinking Glasses with Chalk Labels

Accidentally drinking from someone else’s glass is never fun - especially in the wake of COVID-19. Individual drinking glass party favors are a great way for guests to keep track of their cocktails while having a cute gift to bring home. For a rustic touch, mason jars can be customized with chalkboard labels while guests can choose from flowerpots filled with chalk colors. For a more sophisticated touch for your rehearsal dinner or per-wedding bridal party drinks, multicolored chalkboard paint can be applied to wine glass stems - creating a fun and functional DIY party favor.
