in good favor

Many elements of your wedding, like those carefully chosen centerpieces, make an impact in the moment. Others, like invitations, give people a sense of what’s to come. It’s your favor’s job to leave a lasting impression on your guests. A parting gift should express your gratitude in a personal way and evoke the sentiment of the day. Favors don’t have to be over the top, but they should somehow reflect you as a couple.
