Wedding favors that will stand out from the rest!

We are introducing 54 fabulous and impressive favors that will remain an unforgettable wedding memorabilia for your guests. These wedding favors will add to your wow factor by offering deeply personalised, creative, tasty or destination oriented keepsakes.

Also, custom-made labels, like on the liquor bottles we had as favors for one of our favourite weddings, and engraving will add that personal touch every couple is looking for. Here is the list of our 54 favorite wedding favors for you to decide from that will be just right for your wedding in Greece (or anywhere else of course!).
