The gift expert behind the wedding favor guides at Forever Wedding Favors.
Melissa Bajda is a gift-giving expert with more than a decade of experience in the personalization industry, and she writes the wedding favor guides here at Forever Wedding Favors.
A regular at the NY NOW trade show in New York City, Melissa pairs professional trend-spotting with real-life insight as a mom of two. She looks for favors that feel personal, the kind that carry a couple’s names and wedding date and give guests a small keepsake from the day.
Her rule is simple. She only recommends products she would be proud to give to her own family. If a favor would not mean something to the people she loves, it does not make the guide.

How Melissa chooses a favor
Made for your day
Names and a wedding date turn a small favor into a keepsake from your celebration.
Chosen, not grabbed
Every pick earns its place in a guide. No filler, no padding.
A thank-you guests keep
The best favor is one guests take home and remember you by.
