It’s the little touches that make a wedding extra special and one little touch that your special day simply can’t do without is wedding favours. If you’re about to enjoy the best day of your life then take a look at these five fab ideas to ensure your wedding favours stand out from the crowd.
1. Sweets for My Sweet
Sweets make a great wedding favour and can be presented in a huge number of ways. Choose bride and groom mints with fun wedding dress and morning suit wrappers, cute Perspex bunnies or kittens filled with jellybeans, or after dinner chocolate personalised with your names and wedding date. You can opt to purchase your wedding favours readymade or choose a container you love and fill it with your favourite treat. You could even get your own personalised rock made to mark the occasion.
2. Your Biggest Fan
One way to make your wedding favours more unique is to pick his and hers options. An elegant oriental fan is a great favour for girls. It’s that little bit different from the usual sweets and chocolate because it’s something that can be kept forever as a memento of the day. No one could fail to adore a beautifully made plain white silk fan, or look for a fan that incorporates colours or patterns that pick up on your wedding theme.
3. The Best Man
A bottle stopper makes a great men’s wedding favour and there are a huge variety of designs to choose from such as a silver bottle stopper with miniature snow globe or one topped with a sophisticated crystal die. Or how about a bottle opener in the shape of a bow tie, or a pair of novelty cufflinks that reflect the groom’s personality?
4. Budget Brides
You don’t have to break the bank to have a great wedding. In fact, you can find amazing wedding favours available online for as little as 50p each. If you’re on a budget then opt for a simple but effective organza bag filled with sweets and tied with a pretty ribbon. Or if you have a little more to spend you can pick up a cute favour box in the shape of a palm tree, butterfly or birdcage that will make any wedding table look fantastic.
5. Do It Yourself
Making favours for your own wedding can be a lot of fun and is a great way for members of the wedding party to bond. You can find everything you need to create your dream wedding favours online including flower decorations, adhesive stickers, organza bags, presentation boxes, stick on gems and much more. Then invite all your bridesmaids round for a favour making bash and have tons of fun chatting, making favours and discussing your impending nuptials.
Whatever type of wedding you’re having, giving your guests a small gift as a memento of the day will put a smile on everyone’s face and ensure that your big event is memorable for all the right reasons.
