It’s a commonly believed myth that wedding favours can’t be pertinent to you and your partner. This is simply not true! When it comes to choosing your wedding favours these days there are so many products on the market that it’s easy to find favours pertinent to you and your partner.
Let us firstly clarify why wedding favours are given to guests. The giving of wedding favours is an ancient tradition and can be traced back to Italians and the French originally. A wedding favour is given to guests as a small token of appreciation to thank guests for their help in the run up to the big day and for attending the wedding itself. Many brides today feel it an unnecessary added expense given that guests are well watered, well fed and exceptionally well catered for at a weddings though it remains an important tradition and one that need not break the bank.
Choosing a wedding favour that pertinent to the happy couple is important and there are many ways in which this can be achieved. For example, if your wedding is having a rustic, rural and organic theme, favours may come in the form of personalised seed-kits, bags of home made sweets or even bunches of dried lavender tied with co-ordinating ribbon.
If your wedding will have a more luxurious and sophisticated edge, favours may come in the form of delicious hand made chocolates presented in elegant favour boxes and finished with personalised ribbon. For those who wish to achieve this air of sophistication but without overspending, these can easily be created more cheaply by giving guests foil wrapped hearts in pretty shaped favour boxes. There are many types of ribbon that can be purchased to compliment your table linen or floral arrangements.
If your wedding has a very definite theme then why not include this in your favours? In other words, if your bouquet and wedding invitations carried a calla lily theme, then by choosing calla lily favours your tables will co-ordinate perfectly with the rest of your day. Themed favours come in many forms such as chocolate bars, mint tins, bottle stoppers and candles. Calla lily motifs could even be iced onto homemade biscuits and presented in cellophane bags; a very personal wedding favour and a great way to cut costs.
So, whether you are on a budget or looking to splash out, whether you want a wedding steeped in tradition or want to break the mould, there is a wedding favour out there that will be as unique as you are.
