Male/Female Guest Favors

Sarah-Jean

Would it be weird to have different favors for men & woman? My FI wants to have personalized golf balls & tees because he loves golf & wants to incorporate it into the day. I think that's great for the guys, but none of the woman coming are golfers. Can I do something different for them? Or is it better to come up with something more neutral that's good for everyone?

I would personally do something more neutral for everyone. Like candy or cookies or something.

Go with something more neutral for favors.  You could have golf balls on the table numbers or names of golf courses in place of table numbers.  Maybe drink flags that look like the flag on the green.

I did All the better to kiss you with organic lip balms...they are eco-friendly lip balms that come in kits or singles. They were really popular. I saw them featured in Vogue and had to have them. My husband likes to steal mine so they are pretty neutral. Pomegranite is the best...when I ordered them, they had a special for weddings. I think it was buy 32 get a free lip balm eco-kit. the promo code was "weddingbalms" at the time. You might want to see if it still works. Neutral is definitely easiest! the site is www.allthebettertokissyouwith.com. good luck.

ditto pps.  Unless you know that every guy attending your wedding plays golf, then the favor is pretty useless.  Your FI likes golf.  Okay.  Put the golf motif into something that affects him, rather than your guests.

I've been to a wedding with gender gifts.... It was really nice.  The guys got custom made from the bride cuff links and I  got a custom made necklace.

Do we wear them often?.. no.. but I think the are nicer than most of the favors I've gotten in the past.

I can see where you're going with this.  My FI and I were having the same discussion.  I'm want to get candles for everyone, but he says what's a guy going to do with a candle?  I guess it is up to how well you know your guests.

Either give everyone edibles or skip them altogether.

I think it is a cute idea.  You don't have to put your name and date right on the golf ball you could just put it on a tag instead.  And for the women you could do something like a candle also with just a tag instead of printing your name on it.  You could also check etsy for some custom personalized gifts for the women.
