Hand Fans & Wedding Favor Fans

Hand fans split into two buying jobs: a keepsake gift for one person, or a batch of favors for a hot-weather event. For a gift, look at the leaf and frame. Carved sandalwood fans carry a warm scent and an openwork look; silk or fabric leaves on bamboo ribs fold flat and travel well; hand-painted or lace fans read as decorative and often get framed or displayed in a shadow box. Check the open span (most run 9-13 inches) and whether a box or tassel is included. For weddings and quinceañeras, makers sell folding paper or sandalwood fans in bulk, often with a personalized tag, ribbon color, or printed date. Price bands: simple paper or bamboo fans run about $2-$6 each in bulk; favor-grade silk and printed fans $8-$25; keepsake carved sandalwood and hand-painted pieces $25-$70. Many makers ship stock fans in 3-7 business days; personalized tags and custom printing usually add 1-2 weeks, so order summer-wedding batches early.

Use the material, color, and personalization filters to sort sandalwood from silk or bulk paper fans, then check the related searches for wedding-favor and quinceañera sets.
