When your big day is coming up, make sure you think about wedding favour ideas to give your guests as a thank-you for their attendance. The possibilities are enormous, thanks largely due to the boom in the online market-place, meaning that there are now so many different types that youll be spoilt for choice! Favours come in all shapes and sizes, so youre sure to find the prefect ones for your guests.
Some initial wedding favour ideas include choosing favours to match the overall theme of your wedding, for example a summer theme could involve flower soaps, bird-shaped bottle openers or even photo frames with a flip-flop design! You could also choose favours based around a colour scheme, for example red and gold make a classic combination that is sure to appeal to all your guests. If you were feeling particularly adventurous (and guests do love a surprise!), its possible to create a lucky dip where each attendee selects their own favour at random. This will be especially popular with the younger guests, but adults will enjoy the opportunity too! It can also act as a fabulous ice-breaker, which is ideal for larger parties.
There really are so many wedding favour ideas, especially in the way of presenting them. The traditional method of leaving them next to place-settings at the dinner table is no longer the only solution. You could, for a cost-effective solution, place them as part of the centre-piece on each table, especially if you have chosen them to specifically fit with your overall wedding theme. They could be further decorated by embellishments like flowers, glitter or ribbon, to add that extra sparkle.
Placing the favours inside boxes is one of the most established wedding favour ideas, but is still a classic way to present these tokens. There are now hundreds of different designs, shapes and sizes of box, so it shouldnt be hard to find the right ones for your special day. These could also be chosen to match your theme.
Another option is to give separate favours for men and women, and even children too! This gives even more scope for wedding favour ideas, and allows each guest to receive a gift selected especially for them.
You could consider two versions of the same favour for the adults, as many come with masculine and feminine designs, and a fun favour for the kids to enjoy during and after the event. Even favour boxes are available with different designs for girls and guys, with novelty ones such as tuxedos and wedding dresses becoming increasingly popular. Inside, the skys the limit! Bottle openers and luggage tags make great gifts for men, and soap, toiletries and candles are brilliant for the female guests. Games and toys are ideal for the younger ones. Sweet or savoury treats inside favours are also traditional wedding favour ideas, as this is popular with guests of all ages. A selection of nuts, dried fruit, toffees and boiled sweets would work particularly well, as there is sure to be something for everyone.
Hopefully this has inspired you, and maybe you can think of your own wedding favour ideas to make your day that little bit more thrilling for everyone involved!
