Giving favors to guests at the end of your big night is one of those wedding traditions that likely isn't going anywhere any time soon. Wedding favors are a sweet way to say "thank you" to guests for being part of such a special moment in your life, and choosing the right gift doesn't have to be a chore.
One way to make your wedding favors feel more unique and personalized is to make them seasonally appropriate. For example, if you're having a winter wedding, then have winter wedding favors that fit with the theme and weather. There are so many cute favor options for a cold-weather wedding. You can go the classic route and do something sweet, like a snowflake ornament or a personalized mug (you can never go wrong with their option!). Edible favors are always fun, and one favorite is hot cocoa mixes. And then there are some more out-of-the-box ideas, like fire starters or even cozy socks.
Here are some of our favorite winter wedding favors you can buy now for your big day.
AdaMarkt Pashminas
Few things are better than a cozy blanket on a cold day. Giving out pashminas wrapped in a personalized message is the perfect winter favor. Pro tip: Give them to guests at the beginning of the reception so they can slip them on if needed.
