Wedding Favours

Friday, August 6th, 2010

Rather than giving your guests a wedding favour that collects dust on a shelf, consider providing them with a gift that they will use and enjoy.

Edible Favours

Edible favours are one of the best ways to fill your guests up without leaving waste behind. Cookies, pies, or tarts are always appreciated. Why not make your own favours of traditional sugared almonds tied up in tulle nets, or Individual truffles in favour boxes with your choice of ribbon colour from Montezuma’s award-winning range of british chocolates.

Favours that grow

Give a tree, a little seedling in a tube is an ideal favour, or a pocket garden. Let your guests plant their memories right in their own gardens — your wedding really will be something they enjoy for the rest of their lives.

Caring & Kind

Natural soaps, lotions, and handcrafted lip balms can make amazing gifts. The lack of chemicals and the handcrafting process used to make these items minimizes the likelihood that they will cause any skin irritation. In addition to smelling nice, the essential oils found in these products are thought to have their own healing powers. Lavender bath salts can help your guests relax, while a bar of peppermint soap will help wake them up the next morning. So if your wedding goes into the small hours, they’ll have just what they need to recover.

Wrap it all up

Whatever favours you choose, you can make a real impact with them if you choose a beautiful box, ribbon or wrapping. Little favour boxes for chocolates or soaps, favour nets or bags for sugared almonds, miniature bottle wrappers for liqueurs or champagne, or just some pretty ribbons and tissue paper.
