That kind of wedding favor is perfect for a very select group of people. Unfortunately, it\u2019s more awkward than anything for everyone else.<\/p>\n<p>In general, wedding favors that are too personalized are typically not practical for guests. There\u2019s a high risk that they won\u2019t appeal to the majority of the people there.

Inherently, they have very little worth. We all have a tendency to lose them frequently &#8211; and that\u2019s on a good day! At most weddings, there\u2019s alcohol involved. Given that a lot of the guests will likely be inebriated to some capacity, most of those pens will be lucky if they even make it out of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/2018\/12\/how-to-find-the-perfect-vendors-for-your-event-career-in-event-planning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the venue<\/a>, let alone remain in the guest\u2019s possession for longer than a week or two. Your clients are better off saving their money.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Bubbles\"><\/span>3. Bubbles<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Unless your clients are requesting that bubbles be blown at some point during their ceremony or reception, this kind of wedding favor will only appeal to guests if they all happen to be five. We\u2019re just being honest. While we admit that life would be insanely more fun if grown adults regularly blew bubbles as part of their daily routine, that\u2019s just not the case. Once they leave your clients wedding, those bubbles are going straight in the trash.<\/p>\n<p>Not to mention, this doesn\u2019t exactly <em>feel <\/em>like a wedding favor either \u2013 especially if its purpose is to enhance the wedding for the bride and groom. That makes it feel more like a gift for the happy couple, rather than something meant for the guests themselves. At that point, it might just be best for your clients to call a spade a spade: provide the bubbles, but include them as part of the wedding itself. Don\u2019t try to pass them off as being a gift for the guests.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Jordan_almonds\"><\/span>4.

At Greek and Italian weddings, in particular, the taste of the almonds themselves is meant to symbolize life. The coating of sugar surrounding the almond is a metaphor for the bride and groom\u2019s life ahead of them \u2013 that it be sweeter together than bitter.<\/p>\n<p>In this sort of case, we can understand giving guests Jordan almonds as the wedding favor.
