Giving out wedding souvenirs or what is commonly known as wedding favors is a tradition that goes back centuries. It is a way of saying thank you to the guests for committing their time and money to celebrate the couple’s union and helping to make the occasion special.

Some couples neglect the importance of wedding souvenirs, which is unfortunate because this is the only wedding element guests can take home and keep as a memento of the special occasion. Having wedding souvenirs is not required by any means and is not an absolute essential, but if you decide to include it in your wedding plans, make sure to give enough consideration. Putting enough thought to the wedding souvenirs will reduce its likeliness to end up in the trash any time soon.

With that in mind, here are a few ideas for unique and chic wedding souvenirs you might want to consider.
