You’ve booked the venue, secured your key vendors, and ordered the dress—now you’ve hit that quiet stretch in wedding planning. What’s next? This blog explores the often-overlooked “in-between” phase of engagement season. Discover how to make the most of this downtime by tackling small but impactful tasks that will ease your stress and set you up for a smooth final planning push.

One year ago, we launched Party Favors with a shared passion: providing our clients and fellow wedding friends with educational but fun takeaways surrounding the process of planning and orchestrating impactful events.

Now, as we toast to one year of creative ideas, behind-the-scenes magic, and countless “wow” moments, we’re revisiting our favorite wedding favor trends.

In our newest blog, Bar Banter, we are talking about one of the most frequented and sought after places at a wedding; the bar! With help from our bartender friend Tabby, with Tabby’s Bartending Services, we are getting the inside scoop on all things alcohol and bar accoutrements. Because no great story ever started with a salad we think it is vital that couples, vendors, and guests are educated on the trends, etiquette, and expectations of wedding bars.

At the end of the day, your role as a groom isn’t just about showing up and looking good—it’s about being present, supportive, and involved in every step of the wedding planning journey. Take the time to appreciate the moments, share the decisions, and help your bride manage the process. When you and your bride work as a team, the day will be unforgettable for both of you!

The unity ceremony you choose should reflect who you are as a couple. Whether you lean towards traditional religious ceremonies or embrace a more modern and creative option, the key is to ensure that it has personal significance. It’s a moment for you to share not only with your partner but also with your guests, showcasing your values, beliefs, and shared future. 

Make sure your “I Do” counts! After chatting with a wedding pro, Vows by Venessa, we are confident that her insight into making sure you have a beautiful, but legal wedding ceremony will help prepare as you get one step closer to your big day.

Ring in the new year with some fun! Preparing for a packed dance floor can be daunting, but fun nonetheless. To keep people on the dance floor all night and embolden those who are nervous, consider purchasing props that they can wear, hold, and dance with!

When it comes to considering what signage to display at your wedding, we’ve put together a list for you to consider adding from the first arrivals of your guests until the end of the night!
