Wedding Favours... What about 'em!

Wedding favours are a small gesture of gratitude to your guests for celebrating your special day with you. These little tokens of appreciation can range from sweet treats to practical items, and serve as a reminder of the memories made at your wedding. Whether you’re looking for something simple or something more elaborate, wedding favours are a great way to personalize your celebration and show your guests how much you care.

One popular option for wedding favours is sweets. From traditional sugared almonds to customised chocolates or cookies, sweets are a sweet way to thank your guests. You can choose something that matches the theme of your wedding, such as lemon-flavoured sweets for a summer wedding, or opt for something that represents your relationship, such as his and hers sweets. Another option is to choose a sweet that is meaningful to you, such as your favourite childhood candy.

If you’re looking for something more practical, consider giving your guests a useful item such as a candle or a plant. Candles make great favours, especially for evening weddings, and come in a variety of scents and sizes to suit your style. Another option is to give your guests a small potted plant, which they can take home and enjoy for years to come. Both candles and plants are thoughtful gifts that your guests are sure to appreciate.

For a more personal touch, consider giving your guests a customised item such as a photo frame or a monogrammed keychain. These items can be personalised with your names, wedding date, or a special message, and are a great way to keep your wedding day memories alive. Another option is to give your guests a personalised wedding favour that doubles as a place card, such as a wine glass or a shot glass. These items can be customised with your guests’ names, and serve as a reminder of the special day for years to come.

For a unique and eco-friendly touch, consider giving your guests seeds or a small tree sapling. This is a great option for outdoor weddings, and guests can take the seeds or sapling home and plant them, creating a lasting reminder of your special day. Another option is to give your guests a donation to a charity in their name, in lieu of a traditional favour. This is a great way to show your guests how much you care, while also giving back to those in need.

Wedding favours are also a great opportunity to incorporate elements of your wedding theme or personal style. For a rustic wedding, consider giving your guests small jars of honey or jams. For a beach wedding, consider giving your guests sandalwood fans or mini beach totes. For a vintage-inspired wedding, consider giving your guests vintage postcards or delicate lace fans.

No matter what you choose, wedding favours are a great way to thank your guests for sharing in your special day. Whether you opt for something simple or something more elaborate, your guests will appreciate the thought and effort that you put into choosing the perfect favour for them. So, go ahead and choose something that represents your style, your relationship, and your wedding day, and let your guests take home a piece of the magic.

In conclusion, wedding favours are a wonderful way to show your gratitude to your guests and make your special day even more memorable. From sweet treats to practical items, there is a wide range of options to suit any style, theme or budget. Whether you choose something personalised, eco-friendly, or simply delicious, your guests are sure to appreciate the thought and effort that you put into choosing the perfect favour for them.
