Favor labels are one of the things that every gift giver enjoys doing. No matter what type is being used, people have fun designing them, creating them, and jotting down the perfect words for them. Favor labels add a personalized touch to wedding favors, bridal shower favors, baby shower favors, and various other party favors. Here are the different types of favor labels and refer to them so you know which type is best for the type of favor you will be giving.

The basic materials in creating a favor label are: Vellum, specialty papers, stiff cloth, ribbon, adhesive backed paper, stickers and labels, and specialty foils. If you have these materials or if you can easily purchase some, then you just need a little creativity and your personal touch to be able to create your very own favor labels. It is not difficult to make your own favor labels or you can design them and have them professionally printed at your local print shop.

There are different types of favors and the major types are card tags, hang tags, labels or stickers, and ribbon tags.

If you opt to use hang tags:
– They are the most popular favor tags used on weddings.
– They are commonly punched with holes and placed on the favor or favor package along with silk ribbon, a curled ribbon, or some other type of string or ribbon.
– They are open tags as no side is adhered to the favor itself.
– They are available in different shapes such as rectangular, square, diamond-shaped, heart-shaped, and circular.
– Most often used in wedding favors that are bagged, or tied to the handles of pails.

For mini cards:
– You may opt to use this if you have a longer message or if you have more wordings on your favors.
– They are often used in a similar manner as hangtags, with a hole-punched and secured with some type of ribbon.
– They can also be adhered to the outside of favor boxes or enveloped and slipped under the ribbon of a favor package.

For labels or stickers:
– Information is printed or written on an adhesive label
– The label is placed directly on the favor box or favor itself

For ribbon tags:
– Can also be used on candles and jarred items.
– A ribbon is printed with the desired wording and secured around the favor or favor box.
– They are often made from satin picot or paper ribbon, although they may also be available in other materials as well.

As special as the favors themselves, choose a favor label that will show your style and personality. Put in some effort in making these as it will show if you took the time in creating them or just hastily put them on the favor. Have fun in making them too and do not be stressed over them. Ask the help of friends so you can finish all the needed favor labels in time. Remember that even though they take a little time to make, favor labels really complete the favor itself and create a gift that your guests will surely remember.
