5 Wedding Favour Ideas To Thrill Your Guests

9th Jun 2017

Wedding favours are steeped in tradition and are believed to have started amongst the French aristocracy in the middle ages.

The couple would give sweet treats, typically sugared almonds, to their guests – a symbol of luxury and decadence.
 
We have since come a long way from the sugared almonds tradition, and our imaginations have run wild, creating all sorts of cute treats and trinkets for guests to take home at the end of the evening.
 
Below we have listed some of our favourites – some unusual and some more traditional – which we think your guests will love.
 
 
 

Let Love Grow

A personalised packet of seeds for your guests to take home and plant is a great way to create long-last memories. Choose flowers that featured on your bouquet or in your decoration. 

 

Bring Out Their Inner Child

Sparklers or bubbles are becoming increasingly popular primarily for 3 reasons. Firstly they are quite inexpensive, so perfect if you’re on a budget. Secondly, you’ll get some great photos of your guests playing with them. And finally – they bring out the inner child in everyone!

 

Let The Music Play

Homemade mix CD’s are a great way for your guests to either take home a playlist of songs that you love as a couple, or a playlist of songs from the wedding reception. Either way, they will be sure to think of you and your big day when they listen to it!
 

Give Back

A charity donation is a great way to use the money you would spend on favours and give it to a great cause. You can give a donation in the name of your guest, or perhaps if you would like to do something a little different, buy a large amount of books from a charity shop, wrap them up and offer your guests a good (and perhaps unexpected!) read.
 

Cure A Headache

If you think there could be a high consumption of champers at your wedding reception a neat little idea is a hangover kit! Case together a bottle of water, an eye mask and perhaps some invigorating shower gel for the morning after. We’re sure that your guests will be thanking you the next day!
