There are many gifts that can be used for wedding favours, after all the purpose of wedding favours is to illustrate to your guests that you appreciate them coming to your wedding and showing their support for your wedding. Therefore, you ought to really try to find wedding favors, that your guests will like.
Of course, the gift that most appeals to your guests, may not be one you would choose for yourself, but you are getting the wedding favours for your guests, not yourself. If you think about it, you should be able to come up with something that everyone will like and that you are proud to give. In order to help you get the job done, we will offer you a few tips below.
Love spoons are a popular souvenir at Welsh and other Celtic weddings. A love spoon was a wooden spoon carved by a love sick man for the woman he cherished. She would then either accept or reject the love spoon, although she was not obliged by the acceptance of the spoon. Small versions are often used as wedding favours. They can be carved with dates and names and symbols of love such as a hearts, bells, vines, key holes, anchors and knots.
Wedding favours can also be suitable to eat. There are a pile of choices available for couples who wish to give their guests some kind of edible favour. You can have many items personalized these days. Some firms specialize in personalized presents, which can also be given as wedding favours. Some examples of edible, personalized wedding favours might be: chocolate bars, mints, biscuits or gourmet chocolates. The box or wrapper could bear your photo or / and your names and the date.
Small wedding cakes are another concept for edible wedding favours. Small wedding cakes have a short shelf life so they will have to carry a warning, which will in all probability be put on the packaging automatically, but it is worth checking.
A half / quarter or miniature bottle of wine or other drink would also be fairly easy to organize as wine bottle labels can be acquired in any home brew shop.
Picture frames are common wedding favors. You could give a picture frame and follow it up with a photo of the recipient of the frame enjoying your wedding reception. This might be costly and awkward to set up as you will need to keep records of who has been photographed and who has not. It would be dreadful to miss someone out, would it not? You will probably also need a professional photographer or at least a dedicated amateur.
Wedding favours can be anything really, but I reckon that they are best if they are useful. We gave very atypical bottle-openers away at our wedding. They had a pattern of a couple getting married, our names and the date. They also had a magnet in them to collect the bottle top as it came off. I have seen dozens of our bottle-openers stuck on our friends’ fridges over the years and the wedding was three years ago.
