Ideas for Engagement Party Favors
1. Candles
Who doesn’t love candles? Treat your guests to a personalized wedding candle in your favorite scent with a sweet personalized “thank you” note. The personalization within the note will make your guests feel special and the candle itself serves as an incredibly useful gift.
2. A Sweet Treat
Why not make your guests popcorn? Brownies? Chocolate-covered pretzels or caramel apples? Put it in a nice bottle, container, or wrapper with a cute personalized note for another (other customized) personalized gift to really make your guests feel loved and appreciated.
3. Personalized Wine Glass
If you’re willing to be a little generous with the budget of your party favor, get your guests a personalized wine glass with their names on it. You could even get the wine glasses personalized with something more universal than their names. Going this route would allow you to buy multiple wine glasses in bulk, rather than having to personalize each and every one. Top it off with a bottle of wine if you are feeling extra giving!
4. Self Care Gift Bags
