Event Favors

Favors are a huge part of any celebration; they are what your guests get to leave with - they are the lasting impression. Some serious thought should be dedicated to finding favors that represent who you are and what your party/event is about.

There are SO many choices out there are so WGIC has included some photos from our favorite vendors below for inspiration!




Sandles are GREAT for beach weddings or pool parties




Sterling Fortune Cookies are perfect for themed
birthday parties or anniversaries or even corporate events.

Themed 'bars' are all the rage these days.

customized water bottles!

Are you the 'Perfect Pear' - if so these candles are for you!!




Matches are always a great favor - you can
even 'pear' them with the pear candles for a real hit.

One of our favorites, and we think cutest ideas,
are personalized 'share and blossom' seed cards.


Have you used one of the favors above for a recent event - or do you have other favor ideas that you would like to pass along to others? If so leave us a comment and tell us all about it!!

What is a Social(ly Responsible) Butterfly?



Quite simply: it's a cross between a social butterfly and one who is socially responsible. Put them together and you've got one great host(ess) who throws one heck of a party, all while doing his/her part to save the planet.
Now don't let us scare you off. We're not preaching blandness and minimalism. No sir. We don't expect you to treat your guests to wheat grass smoothies and dismally gray recycled paper napkins. It is possible to be lavish and elegant AND be eco-friendly. Hence, the Socially Responsible Butterfly. Just look for the butterfly logo throughout our blog and website to indicate an opportunity to make your event green and grand!
