Personalized Pens - Personalized Pens Make Great Favors

Personalized pens make nice gifts, but they are not considered very often other than in the case of a gift for someone.  Whether a cheap souvenir or an expensive gift, everyone loves to get something with their name on it.  Pens are easily lost or taken, so most people keep a supply on hand to make sure they have one when they need it.  This may consist of store bought pens, personalized pens received as gifts, or promotional pens collected over the years. While sometimes costly, often personalized pens are worth it.

There are some uses for personalized pens, or pens in general, that are not often thought of.  For example, personalized pens given at a wedding ceremony as wedding favors can be a creative way for the bride and groom to say thank you to their guests.  These pens may not have the guests' names on them, but they can have the names of the bride and groom as well as the wedding date.  On the other hand, personalized pens make great bridesmaid and groomsmen gifts.  They can have full names, last names, both, or initials only.  Personalized pens that have a monogram with a name written through it can be especially elegant.  Pens are perfect for this kind of occasion as they show thought went into the gift, and they are very practical as everyone needs a pen at some point.

Another way to use pens is as a party favor.  This works especially well with birthday parties for kids.  Again, personalized pens may have the name of the birthday boy and the birthday or date of the party.  If RSVPs were received, personalized pens make the favor even more special.  Pens work better for older kids that can write, and personalized pens can be further customized to reflect the theme of the party.   While pens are a great favor, be sure to throw in something else as well, maybe a small notebook and some candy.

While most are familiar with pens being used for advertising, they do not usually think of personalized pens for anything other than a gift.  Few people ever buy themselves personalized pens, and many do not even buy regular pens for themselves with the numerous pens available in the office supply closet and the sheer number of promotional pens available today.  Many do not realize that personalized pens make great party favors.
