Favors for a wedding can be customized, standardized or be a mixture of both. Customizing favors demands knowledge regarding preference and liking of everyone present at your wedding, which is not an impossible task, but obviously an effort-taking one. Standardizing favors for everyone has its own limitation i.e. even the one who does not relate to you more gets the same gift as the one who relates to you the most. So, a pragmatic way to plan favors for your wedding is to group people into various categories and then customize and standardize favors for each of those categories.

For example, your “school friends” can be one category, “colleagues” can be the other and you can have different favors for each one of these categories. Similarly, “maternal relatives” can be a category and “paternal relatives” the other. “in-laws” can make up for an important category in which you can customize the gift for each and every one. And customizing favors for your in-laws can be a good reason to know their preferences beyond a point, yeah? Another not-to-forget category is “cousins.”

By choosing a blend of standardization and customization of favors for your wedding you can not only optimize your budget, but also thank each and everyone for taking the time out in a relative manner.
