Keep Koozies Kool

It seems to be the norm these days to have a koozie when you go out with friends so your cold beverage doesn’t make your hands moist or even freeze. Same goes for weddings. At a hot outdoor reception I love to see a bartender hands guests a beer already in the koozie. You can hand out koozies through out the reception or you can make them part of the party favor or travel bags for wedding guests. Koozies are easy to design with fun fonts, colors, and witty sayings/mottos that accompany the wedding date and the bride and groom’s names. They are also relatively inexpensive. These festive wedding favors can be used every day and last indefinitely, so every time your friends have a cold one, they can think of the happy couple and the amazing time they had at your wedding.

Unique Ways to Thank Your Guests For Sharing Your Special Day

A great way to remind guests about how much fun they had at your wedding is a great wedding favor. It’s a perfect way for them to take home a little piece of your big day! From DIY to online and store buys, there are so many great, unique options for wedding favors.

When choosing that special gift for all your guests, keep in mind: where you will store them, if they are perishable, the weather of your reception, the decor of your reception, and most importantly, what you want the meaning behind your favor to be.

Is it a symbol of your love? Is it your family’s secret recipe? Or is it something practical that they can use/wear at the reception? Look at these photos below for inspiration to help you find the perfect wedding favor!

FotoFavor with Rebecca Lorrine Photography

One of photographer Rebecca Lorrine’s newest endeavors is the unique FotoFavor. Essentially both a photo and party favor wrapped into one, FotoFavor is a photobooth with no walls that allows you and your guests to create fun memories right there and then! No more sticky seats or a claustrophobic box and a real live photographer with high quality equipment and lots of personality! Each host receives a 4×6 book with all FotoFavors and the digital files. Upon request they’ll even upload them to our Facebook page for you to tag your friends. Before your event they’ll design a custom template incorporating the theme and including the date, occasion, logos, anything! In addition to your theme-inspired template they’ll provide props and personality at no extra cost!
