Wedding Favours Blog

Choosing your wedding favours can seem like a daunting task so take a look at these great tips to help you make the right choice for your big day.

Practical wedding favours are a fantastic idea for guests to be able to keep long after your wedding. Wine bottle stoppers are a fabulous practical favour and with so many on the market they are easy to tie in with your wedding theme. For those of you getting married in the heat of summer or in sunny climates abroad, an elegant silk fan will probably be the most appreciated gift you could give. There are some beautiful sandalwood or silk fans that can be bought cheaply and will double up as beautiful table decorations. And remember if you are getting married abroad, take into account the weight of the favours for your luggage allowance.

Edible favours are always appreciated, chocolates being the favourite. But, if you would rather not risk chocolates melting there is a fantastic range of cookie or cupcake wedding favours on the market. Cookie bouquets are becoming fashionable and look fantastic as a table centre piece. And, of course, there are the traditional 5 sugared almonds. Guests are always grateful of something to munch on the way home!

Placecard holders can be doubled up as wedding favours for your guests to keep as photo holders. There are many decorative placecard holders available that will look stunning as part of your table decorations.

If you can’t afford to give everyone gifts, women will be more appreciative than men – who seem more than happy with a free meal and a disco! So go girlie and just give wedding favours to the ladies. Women love things that can fit in their handbag, a pretty compact or lipstick holder are a few favourites.

Your choice of wedding favours can really add to the theme or colour scheme of your big day so remember to take this into consideration as well when making your choice.
