Guaranteed Ways to Make Your Wedding Favours Unique

Handing out wedding favours to your guests has become de rigueur for all big days. This token of your appreciation for their presence during your special occasion is a memento for them to take home at the end of the day. However, people are getting ever more creative in the favours that they give. So, if you want to guarantee that your wedding favours are unique and memorable, then you may want to consider some of the following ideas.

Keepsake photographs

What could be more personal and unique than a photograph of the bride and groom? These can be presented as a favour in several different ways. For example, you could give them a mini photograph frame with the picture inside it, or you could add the photograph to a personal note thanking them for attending their wedding.

Personal fun poetry

Anyone who is good with words may want to attempt to write a fun poem to include as part of the favour. It could tell a story about how you met, or take a fun look at your personalities. A further idea is to print this on cream paper, burn the edges and create a scroll tied with a ribbon that matches your wedding colour scheme. These will be a great addition to the table decorations.

Hand crafted favours

If you are a creative person you can apply your talents to creating the favours yourself. This way you can be sure that your guests will never receive an identical favour at another wedding they attend. A talented embroiderer could stitch the initials of the bride and groom into handkerchiefs while someone who is a talented artist could create a unique design for shot glasses or hand painted pebbles.

Edible favours

Edible favours are increasingly popular at weddings and reflect your personality. Mini tubs of popcorn show off your fun side and marshmallow pots display your childish streak. Anyone who is good at cooking might consider making home-made treats to serve in fabric gift bags. Toffee, fudge or truffles all work well and many are available to buy if you don’t fancy the hassle of making them. Present the treat bags with a pretty ribbon, preferably one that matches with the rest of your colour scheme.

Personalised items

There are many companies that will personalise their products for you. Choose your names, initials or the date of your wedding and have it applied to any number of favour ideas to make it unique to your wedding. Some interesting ideas include personalised soap, mini pots of jam or chutney with a personalised note on the label, bubbles with initials on the pot or chocolates in a box with a unique design.

There are endless options for creating unique or personalised wedding favours. Whatever you choose should be a reflection of your personality and should tie in with the overall theme of the wedding. If your favours are unique they will be a talking point amongst your guests, creating memories that will last long after your wedding day is over.
