Do them a favour

Traditional, modern glamorous or fun, wedding favours are a great way of showing your appreciation with a lovely souvenir for your guests

Top favour tips

  • Decorate plain boxes with a ribbon or trims so that they co-ordinate with your colour scheme.
  • Provide different favours for children such as colourful sweets or colouring books and crayons.
  • Male and female guests can have different wedding favours. Your male guests might appreciate top hat-shaped favour boxes filled with chocolates, while female guests will love a frosted votive candle.
  • Give each guest an alcohol miniature -- perhaps a spirit port for the male guests and Baileys or tequila for the women. They can enjoy them during the wedding or take them home as keepsakes.
  • If you decide to give alcohol miniatures, present them in a personalised gift tube or stylish clear gift bag.
  • Instead of an edible favour, give guests a selection of party treats such as mini sparklers, balloons and party poppers.
  • Encourage lively conversation with table centrepieces of table trivia. Guests will enjoy them during the reception and can take them home afterwards.
  • Personalise gifts with your names. Attach personalised tags or labels to your favours.
  • Use different coloured tulles to add a little extra interest when creating your own bomboniere.
