It’s a commonly believed myth that wedding favours can’t be pertinent to you and your partner. This is simply not true! When it comes to choosing your wedding favours these days there are so many products on the market that it’s easy to find favours pertinent to you and your partner.

Let us firstly clarify why wedding favours are given to guests. The giving of wedding favours is an ancient tradition and can be traced back to Italians and the French originally. A wedding favour is given to guests as a small token of appreciation to thank guests for their help in the run up to the big day and for attending the wedding itself. Many brides today feel it an unnecessary added expense given that guests are well watered, well fed and exceptionally well catered for at a weddings though it remains an important tradition and one that need not break the bank.

Choosing a wedding favour that pertinent to the happy couple is important and there are many ways in which this can be achieved. For example, if your wedding is having a rustic, rural and organic theme, favours may come in the form of personalised seed-kits, bags of home made sweets or even bunches of dried lavender tied with co-ordinating ribbon.

On the other hand, if your wedding has an elegant and sophisticated edge, favours may come in the form of exquisite hand made chocolates presented in suave favour boxes and finished with foil printed personalised ribbon. For those who wish to achieve this air of sophistication but without overspending, these can easily be created more cheaply by giving guests foil wrapped hearts in pretty shaped favour boxes. Plain satin ribbon or plain organza ribbon can be purchased to co-ordinate with your table linen or bridesmaid dresses to complete the look.

On the other hand, your wedding may have a very definite theme, in which case this idea can be embellished in your favours. For example, if your bouquet and wedding invitations carried a red rose theme, then by choosing rose favours your tables will co-ordinate perfectly with the rest of your day. Themed favours come in many forms such as chocolate bars, mint tins, bottle stoppers and candles. Rose motifs could even be iced onto homemade biscuits and presented in cellophane bags; a very personal – yet inexpensive – wedding favour!

Hopefully this will have given you some food for though as to how you can create wedding favours that are unique to you.
