When To Order My Wedding Favors
By admin | April 30, 2010
With so many wedding favors to choose from the hardest decision you make is not finding a wedding favor but choosing one wedding favor that you like the most. There are so many wedding favors to pick from. You can have personalized or non-personalized wedding favors. Or, you can have edible or non-edible wedding favors. The possibilities are endless.
One of the most important first steps you to take is to determine your budget for your wedding favors. If you buy your wedding favors online, you should be able to spend no more than $2-3 per guest. Think about having to make your own wedding favors and only spending so little money. You simply cannot make a wedding favor that will only cost 2 dollars and expect to end up with a quality wedding favor.
For example, if you only have two dollars per guests to spend of your favors you can buy a variety of different things. For instance, personalized chocolates are very popular and you should be able to find them for fewer than two dollars. Chocolate is everybody’s favorite you can’t go wrong with such a favor. The other thing that is great about chocolate is that it’s easy to personalize. Chocolate can be custom printed with your names and your wedding day, and some companies can even print a special message on the back of their wrapper.
When you order your wedding favors make sure that you understand how quickly the company can ship your product. Some online favor companies are more reliable when it comes to shipping than others. So you may want to ask your friends or relatives if they know of a company they can trust and recommend to you. But the best policy you can have it is not to leave ordering your favors the last minute. Unfortunately, many brides leave ordering to the Monday preceding their wedding day. With such expectations you may be surprised to find that most companies will not be able to fulfill your order. The best policy is to order your wedding favors no less than two weeks before your wedding day. Even if you order something like chocolate that has a shelf life is not going to hard to order it a few weeks in advance.

When should I order my wedding favors?
My wedding is October 18. We are sending out about 200 invitation but of course not everyone will come. When should I order my wedding favors? I don’t want to order too soon and end up having tons extra that I already paid for. I am ordering them online and they will take about 1 week to come.

I think it depends how long it takes to get them. My wedding is 8/21 and I just ordered mine yesterday. But I ordered from Oriental Trading Co. and they only take about a week to come in, so I was able to wait until I got most of me RSVP’s back and had a general sense of how many I would need. Check with the supplier and see how quickly the orders can be filled and shipped.

Order them the day after your RSVP deadline, so you have a pretty good idea of who is and isn’t attending. Make sure you pad it a little, though- if 150 people say they’re coming, order about 10 extra favors to be safe.

My wedding is 8/1/09 and I already got mine lol. If it only takes a week though I would wait until you give the caterer the final count (about 3 to 4 weeks before the event) and then order. Make sure you get a few extra for yourself and for any unexpected guests!
Good luck

(Depending on who you are ordering though if it is some thing from say the Oriental trading company then i would go with right after the RSVP deadline. If it is a website OR EBay As early as you can. I ordered things for my favors( labels) in February for my October wedding. I received them in about a week. Friends of mine ordered things in July for there October 07 wedding and got them a week before the wedding. You should talk to the vendors before you even order ( now would be good) and ask them
1) how log will this take to make
2) Do you normally have this in stock ( when you wanted to order)
3) How loge will it take to ship
