Wedding Favours

There is a huge selection of favours for weddings available from modern to traditional, fun to glamorous. They provide the perfect way to show your appreciation to your wedding guests with a souvenir or keepsake from your big day.

What are wedding favours?

Wedding favours are essentially goody bags for grown–ups – a little token which guests can take away with them. Very often, favours are chosen to match the colour and theme of your wedding and are left at each guest’s table setting.

Traditionally, five sugared almonds are given to represent health, happiness, fertility, long life and wealth. Sugared almonds come in a range of colours and types such as chocolate dagrees and are often presented in a wedding favour bags, known as bonbonnieres.

Getting to know you…

Wedding favours can be a good way for guests to feel more relaxed and get to know each other. Wedding bubbles can be great fun and the young ones at the wedding love them (more on wedding favours for kidsbelow). Another way to help your guests relax is to present them with alcoholic wedding favours such as miniature whisky bottles. You can even put your own mark on the bottles with personalised bottles of champagne.

Chocolate wedding favours

Chocolate wedding favours are an inexpensive way of showing your appreciation to your guests. You can personalise the chocolates using your names and the date of your wedding day or even bring a smile to people’s faces by giving retro sweets.

Wedding favour bags

Wedding favour bags come in many shapes and sizes and are available in lots of different materials so you can really show off your creativity by making your own favours. Organza bags are ever popular as are bonbonnieres.

Wedding favour boxes

Wedding favour boxes can be used as alternatives to bags to hold sweets or other small wedding favours. They can be decorated using bows, ribbons and trims to create a truly unique design.

Unique wedding favours

Couples are always looking for something to stand out from the crowd so what better way than to give unique wedding favours? Some good ideas are lottery favours, wedding matches and seed favours which guests can take home to grow the bride and groom’s favourite flowers.

Children's wedding favours

We all know it can be quite tricky to keep little ones entertained during wedding receptions, particularly during long speeches. Children's favours can be something as simple as a lolly or candy necklace or something more creative like temporary hand tattoos.
