We love this idea! Transfer the stylized couple portrait design typically used in wedding stationary onto a canvas bag full of thank you gifts. For a heartfelt welcome to the reception table, hang the bags on the back of your guests’s chairs.

From take-away flowers to artfully packaged candy to thoughtful souvenirs, wedding favors can be used as a decorative element in wedding scenery. We hope these ideas inspire you to make a lasting impression on your guests by thanking them with a gift that is unique, playful, and adds a touch of allure to the celebration.
