A fantastic way to add a personal touch to your wedding favors is by shopping local!

Read on for some of our favorite ideas for Kansas City wedding favors!

Kansas City Wedding Favors We Love

I am so excited to introduce you all to a brand new Kansas City wedding and event venue located in the heart of the Crossroads! I first heard about the Outreach Event Space from their new venue manager, Jana Marie. The best part about the Outreach Event Space is that it’s more than just a stunning space- your rental fee goes towards the mission of Outreach International, allowing you and your guests to party with a purpose.
