My name is Lisa Gorjestani, I have a company Details Event Planning in Los Angeles and I'm going to speak to you about ways of how to personalize your wedding favors. So when you first start to plan your wedding, and you work on it, save the dates, you get to the invitations. Chances are, you have developed some sort of a color scheme or a little motif, whether it be a monogram or an image of let's say, palm tree or some sort of floral image. You're going to want to keep that motif or color scheme throughout your wedding. So when you're going to personalize a wedding favor, you need to take that into consideration to make sure that it's incorporated. So for example, a client of mine, their motif was a dragonfly. So what we did is, we got these plain canvas bags and then pressed on, letter pressed their little dragonfly for their favor bag. So this was a way that they could personalize it. So to personalize, it doesn't need to be expensive. It's just way to again, bring out your colors, show your motif, and again, it's a way the way you package it. My name is Lisa Gorjestani with Details Event Planning and this is how you can personalize your wedding favors.
