If you're in the midst of planning your special day, you have a lot on your plate. From the flavour of wedding cake to having to choose which elegant wedding invitations you like the most, but you may be wondering what these little gifts called 'favours' are all about. Wedding favours are a way to show your guests how much you appreciate them for sharing in your big day. They can be small tokens of appreciation or more elaborate gifts, but the sentiment is always the same - a heartfelt thank you for joining you on this important occasion. Favours can also add a personal touch to your wedding day, reflecting your personalities, theme or colours. And, let's be honest, they're also a lot of fun to put together and see your guests' reactions to. So, let's explore some fun and practical wedding favour ideas that your guests will love!
Personalised Bottles of Wine
Most people love a good bottle of wine, so why not make it personal? Create custom labels with your names and wedding date, and give your guests a bottle to take home. You could even add a note on the label thanking them for sharing in your special day.
Seed Packets
If you and your spouse are passionate about gardening or the environment, why not give your guests seed packets to take home? Choose a variety of flower or herb seeds, and print labels with a personal message. Something that's native and easy to grow can be sprinkled into anyone's garden and thrive without too much effort or expertise.
A Living Plant
Something like a small plant or succulent is a good idea especially if you're having a botanical themed wedding. These plants are easy to care for and will thrive in a variety of environments, making them the perfect keepsake for your guests.
Useful Customised Items
Things like coasters, notepads, bottle openers or tote bags are a practical and useful favour that your guests will appreciate. Choose a design that reflects your wedding theme or personality, and add a personal message or your names and wedding date. Your guests will love using them at home and will be reminded of your special day.
Edible Options
If you're looking for a favour that your guests can enjoy during the reception or take home with them, consider edible options. Personalised cookies, macarons, or chocolates with your names or initials are a sweet treat that your guests will love. Edible favours are not only delicious but practical, as your guests won't have to worry about finding space to store them.
Wedding favours are a great way to thank your guests for sharing in your special day, but it's important to choose something that they will actually want to keep. Personalised bottles of wine, seed packets, homemade jam or honey, customised coasters, and personalised candles are all fun and practical options. So, get creative and have fun with your wedding favours!
