Providing favours for your wedding guests is an excellent way to say thank you to your friends and families for making your wedding day memorable and precious.
However, choosing the right wedding favours that are tasteful and original requires much thought and creativity. This will ensure that it is not just you and your partner that remembers your wedding day but your guests have a treasured memento to remember it by also. |
|
|
 |
Put small inexpensive wedding favours for all your guests in decorated pouches or boxes near the exit of your reception venue with a sign inviting your guests to select one each. |
| |
|
The most popular gifts are edible like the traditional sugared almonds but you can use alternatives like cookies, heart shaped sweets, truffles, miniature cakes and chocolates. |
| |
|
Alternatives to edible favours are scented candles, bubble bath, hand made soaps, miniature bottles of spirits and small plant pots with a bulb already planted. |
| |
|
For the children who attended your wedding then consider making up some bags with sweets, coloured pens and a colouring book or create a 'lucky dip' by filling a large container with bran or sawdust and place chocolate bars and small gifts in it that the children can find. |
| |
|
Give a more expensive thank you gift to the people who have contributed to the wedding planning and been involved with the ceremony like bridesmaids, best man, ushers and both mothers. These can be handed to them during the thank you speeches. |
| |
|
Thank you gifts for bridesmaids and mothers could be flowers, jewellery, toiletries, hamper, spa or beauty treatment and decorated china or crystal ornaments. |
| |
|
Thank you gifts for the best man and ushers could be silk boxer shorts, wine or spirits, cufflinks or jewellery and a car racing day and a massage at a spa and a magazine subscription of their own choice. |
