Traditionally the wedding couple leave a wedding favour on each of their guests place setting or somewhere they can collect it upon their departure after the reception. Weddings can be quite expensive, and many brides and grooms fret over how much they should spend on wedding favours. They are small token gifts to thank your guests for joining you on your special day. The cost is not of any importance, the thought and effort is! If you are a DIY bride there are plenty of crafty items you can create and even personalise! If you’re not so adventurous with your hands then not to worry we have some great options for you too.
Our Top 10 Wedding Favour Picks:
10. Handmade Soap
Whether you choose to make this yourself or buy from a soap supplier that’s up to you (we won’t say a word..). They can be made in all shapes and colours, so if you have a definite wedding theme you could tie it into that!
9. Pick n Mix
If you are considering having a candy buffet but not too sure. Why not give little pick n mix favours! These can easily be made up yourself, wrapping them up in plastic and tying with a pretty ribbon. This is a great budget friendly option!
8. Candles
Scented candles that match your wedding colours. A nice little gift your guests will love as they can bring them home to enjoy.
7. Seeds
A popular favour I am seeing a lot of. Give your guests the gift of flower seeds which they sow in their own time, when the flowers grow they will have something to remind them of your wedding day.
6. Love Songs CD
Create a CD with a number of you and your partners favourite love songs. Be sure to include your first dance song! Your guests will have something to listen to during their travels home after the wedding.
5. Chocolate
Who doesn’t love chocolate! This is a never fail wedding favour. You could have a personalised chocolate bar or a miniature gift bag of luscious treats! The kids will love this choice.
4. Jam Jars
Make your own homemade jam and fill them into little glass jam jars. These can be found easily on Etsy, now you just have to master your grandmother’s homemade raspberry preserve reciepe!
3. Charity Wedding Favours
I love this idea. Leave a little note for each of your guests explaining you will be donating whatever amount in honour of them to the chosen charity of your choice. What a nice touch! Some charities also make their own wedding favours so check that out too.
2. Homemade Treats
Are you known for your delicious cupcakes or cookies? Make up enough for each of your guests and present them nicely in gift wrap. Your guests will be delighted when they bite into your home baked treat!
1. Poem
If you are looking for a personal wedding favour this is the choice for you! Get together with your groom and write a wedding poem about both of you thanking your guests for their support and presence during their wedding day. You can then print these out yourself on quality card. This will make a special favour your guests will keep for years to come!
