Wedding favors. . . Do you have to have them at your wedding? Absolutely not, but it's a sweet gesture to show your guests how much you appreciate them taking the time (and money) to be part of your big day.


I've seen TOO MANY favors left at tables after the wedding. It hurts me because I know the bride and groom spend a lot of time and money on them. It could be that the guests forgot, but usually they weren't interested.


How do you make sure you don't waste money on wedding favors? A crowd pleasing wedding favor will always be food or a beverage. Everyone loves food. Think about where you are getting married and the "staples" to that location. Think about the local favorites. Not only is food a big hit at every wedding, but you are also supporting local businesses - WIN, WIN!


Here are my favorite unique wedding favors for your Savannah wedding:

Golden pralines or nut clusters arranged on a white plate with a red gift box and gold ribbon in the background.

HONEY

A Savannah Staple! A must have for any visitor when they come to Savannah. Savannah's Candy Kitchen or River Street Sweets are our favorite places to get them!

A jar of Savannah Bee Company's pure and natural tupelo raw honey displayed with green leaves and flowers in soft lighting.

Pralines

I don't know a single person that doesn't like honey. Whether you lick it off a spoon or put it in your cooking. Savannah Bee Company has SO many different flavors and you can purchase them in adorable little jars. You could even tie a cute pun on it that says, "Thanks for bee-ing here with us" or "Honey, I do."

A gold and orange can of Compass Rose IPA craft beer with a winged pineapple logo design against a white background.

A BEER

Obviously, your guests must be 21 or older for this one. . .  Having local beer at the bar at the reception is fun, and so is some to take home! I know visitors love to try local beer. I know I do, whenever I travel anywhere! My favorite local breweries are Service and Two Tides, but we have quite a few in the area! Fun Fact: One of my couples met and got engaged at Two Tides Brewing!

Small vanilla and chocolate cookies scattered in rows showing a gradient pattern of colors on white marble background.

COOKIES

Last but not least, cookies from Byrd's! They have SO many flavors! My favorite for wedding favors are the Georgia Peach Cookies. How perfect for a Georgia wedding?! Of course, attach a pun like, "A sweet ending to a new begining." Adorable and tasty!

Some other ideas (not necessarily made in Savannah) are koozies, coasters, match books, personalized cups and chocolate! I hope this helps and your wedding is everything you've dreamed of! Wishing you many years of happiness and tasty Savannah treats!
