Choosing Wedding Favours and Gifts for Guests
Wedding favours have moved on quite a lot from the net bags of sugared almonds of yesterday. Today anything goes and one of the most exciting parts of planning a wedding is deciding what wedding favours you are going to choose.
Many brides choose wedding favours that match their wedding theme or colour and there are many boxes and bags that are in the shape of a wedding dress, tuxedo or other wedding themed items. In fact, many a bridal shop is starting to sell favour items including bags, ribbon, small gifts and you’ll find a lot of inspiration and advice if you are stuck for ideas.
Many couples choose different favours for men and women too. Going back to the sugared almond theme, you can choose to fill favour bags with chocolates, mints, Love Hearts and any other confectionery of your choosing. It can be great fun to invite the girls over to fill the bags and boxes whilst sharing a few drinks and putting on a wedding DVD.
Homemade favours are very popular especially amongst couples who are trying to save the pennies, but you can also find some good quality low priced favours for less. Another popular idea is to buy everybody a lottery ticket and then to announce the lottery results if there is a draw on the evening of your wedding. Imagine if one of your guests got lucky!
Wedding dress favour boxes allow you to really get creative. Many are shaped like a wedding dress and allow you to add your own decorations. For example, why not add a ribbon detail in the colour of your bridesmaid dresses, or how about adding a tiny fabric flower or other embellishment to really make your favours stand out? You should be able to find these boxes online and many wedding shops also sell items such as this.
Favours can really bring your wedding tables to life especially if you choose colourful favours or elegantly decorated boxes. The possibilities really are endless and you can get a lot of inspiration and ideas online. Whether you choose to make your own favours or you choose to buy them ready made and ready to give out, you can get some great deals.
If budget is a concern why not start buying favour items now and buy a little bit more each month. Buying your wedding shop items in this way can really help to soften the blow and reduce the amount of big spends you are making. Ebay is another great place to find favour ideas. Look out for those bargains on ribbon, favour packaging and confectionery and you’ll save even more.
