Wedding favors seem like a simple affair and are usually left until the very last minute but in the end they matter a lot. Wedding favors are how you thank your guests for coming to your wedding and helping you celebrate the event. You can't forget about the favors because it's against tradition but few people like to go with the candy bags. It's best to get the smaller and seemingly simple things out of the way first because as the wedding gets closer, there's more and more pressure to get stuff done and the small things are likely to suffer for it.
One of the very obvious choices for wedding favors is candy; it may be what everyone gets and it maybe clich but it's the fast and simple solution if your wedding is just days away and you're stuck on ideas you should probably go with candy.
A great time to shop for wedding favors is when you're either looking for a caterer or when you're looking for table centerpieces. You can always find small replicas of whatever you have on your table to give your guests as a wedding favor. If you plan on having elaborate fruit arrangements or fresh fruit bouquets as a centerpiece for the guests' tables you find dipped fruit boxes that make excellent favors.
Dipped fruit comes in small decorative boxes that can be piled in the center which is a convenient way to hand them out. You can always find wedding favors that match the season you're having the wedding in because they'll be easily available.
