About Us
How We Got Started
Being a bride can be an amazingly overwhelming job. After working in the wedding industry for years, we realized it was time for us to lend a helping hand. Brides need a one stop shop for customized wedding favors. We believe we have created an our online store that will help alleviate some of the anxiety and work of being a bride. And as you can see from our site, personalization is also our specialty, as we truly believe by engraving a name on the gift, it becomes more meaningful.
We believe in gratitude. This is where it all starts. And it is best expressed not just by words but by preparing something special for your guests through wedding favors. It is by far the best way to thank your guests and loved ones for all their support, time and generosity. They have taken time to be at your wedding and extended overwhelming love and support for you and your spouse. You certainly wouldn’t want to be giving just anything. We fully understand that you would like your gift to be practical, meaningful, functional and beautifully presented. Giving wedding favors is one great way to show appreciation to your guests that will always make them want to remember your wedding and how your love for each other made them feel. They surely enjoyed every part of your wedding. And you definitely want the memories of your wedding to stay with your guests long after your special day.
While showing gratitude never goes out of style, we make sure your wedding favors are meaningful, functional, and visually stylish too. And here is where we partner with you in making that a reality as you hand your wedding favors to friends and loved ones. With this in mind, we have prepared favors that can be made extra special through personalization. Say thank you in a way that will never be forgotten. We want to make sure your guests feel the warmth of your love and gratitude as you give them your wedding favors.
