This time we will be talking about the wedding favors or commonly called as wedding souvenirs. As I was doing a research online for unique ideas on wedding favors, I stumbled into this certain website where a bride shared all about her wedding experience from the wedding planning to the wedding expenses. It was on this site that I got the perfect idea for a wedding favor. But first, let’s define what’s the difference and similarity between a wedding favor and a wedding souvenir. Actually, they serve the same role in weddings. They are wedding tokens given to guests as a symbol of the couple’s appreciation for their presence on this special occasion of the couple’s lives. Yet the difference is a wedding favor is something sweet and edible like a chocolate that is placed on the guests’ table for them to eat. A wedding souvenir is something that is given to the guests to remind them of the couple’s wedding. These are carefully designed souvenirs with a Thank You note and the guests can bring it at home and decorate/use it in their homes. Examples of these are scented candles, lamps, picture frames and more. You can search for it online to get a variety of wedding souvenir ideas.

The Wedding Preparations
This is where all the tension and stress comes in. We don't know where to start off with all the preparation and we want to make sure that everything is PERFECT on the day of the wedding.
Jeff and I browsed through a lot of online sites and read about how other couples prepared their wedding. At first, we wanted the wedding to be simple with only a 100 guests. But how could it be a simple wedding when we have 14 bridesmaids, 12 groomsmen, 2 maid of honors, 2 bestmen and 17 pairs of Ninongs and Ninangs. From that alone, we already have 47 guests, almost 50 guests excluding our friends and relatives. So we can't help but make it a big wedding. The only mistake that we had during the planning was we planned first before having the budget. We should have had a budget first then plan the wedding. One tip for those couples getting married, "Have a Budget first and then Plan". We only had a few savings on our joint account but its what helped us in starting off with the preparations.
