Wedding favours, although small in size, form a very integral part of your event. Wedding favours not only contribute to establishing the theme of your wedding party, it also serves to represent your appreciation for your guests’ presence on your special day.
Many wedding couples in the recent years have told us that they wanted to give their guests a thank-you gift that is beautiful, well-made and most of all functional / practical. And it is really because of these reasons that we encourage you to start looking around and ordering your wedding favours early! So here are some tips to make your favour shopping a little easier!
Work with your theme
Think about the theme of your wedding and what items would best gel it all together. If you are having a beach theme, think about beach related items like a shell placecard holder or a starfish shaped mini frame. If you are having a garden party, perhaps a gardening pail / candy container will do the trick.
Incorporate related colours
Decide on which colour combination suits the theme. An autumn theme would almost always include reds, yellows and browns, while a beach theme will work best with blues and whites.
Something practical or something edible?
Most wedding favour choices are a toss-up between the two. If you prefer something the guests can take home with them, then select an item you feel would be of use to them. A traditional photo frame may seem boring at first, but coupled with some interesting twists like having a magnet at the back, may well see your wedding favour sitting nicely on the fridge of your guests! If you prefer something edible, consider packaging it to fit your wedding theme!
Decide on your budget and the extent of personalization
Beautiful favours do not mean that you need to spend a bomb. While your options may be more limited with a small budget, simple touches like the packaging and still add loads of uniqueness to your little gift! A nice wrapper or a thoughtful message can convey your heart-felt thanks just as well.
If you have a larger budget, your choices would obviously be more. Consider more options or better yet, speak to our consultants for some favour ideas and what can be achieved with your budget!
