1. Think about your budget. Deciding how much you want to spend on favors will limit your many choices and keep you from choosing something really expensive.

2. Have your guest list ready, so you know how many guests and couples will be attending your wedding. If you choose to go with a more expensive favor, then one favor per couple will do.

3. Research favor options on the Internet. This can give you ideas about wedding favors other couples have used in the past.
   

4. Keep in mind the theme of your wedding. Choose appropriate wedding favors that go along with your theme.
   

5. Think about giving useful favors such as key rings, photo frames or coffee mugs. These are functional items that can be used whenever.
   

6. Buy wedding favors that reflect the personality of both bride and groom. Your favorite thing to do together could inspire a good idea for a favor.
