As a guest, it is always refreshing when one receives a well thought of wedding favour instead of the run-of-the-mill piece of cake or chocolate provided for by hotels’ wedding packages. A well chosen token of thanks attached with a note of appreciation speaks volumes more about the couple’s sincerity and gratitude towards their wedding guests.

Your selected favour could :

• Reflect your interests and tastes or perhaps your wedding theme.

• Be relatively inexpensive or extravagant depending on your budget. The idiom ‘it is the thought that counts’ holds true though.

• Be ordered from a custom supplier or made on your own. The latter will be much appreciated if you have the talent and skill required.

Some tips :

• It will be cheaper to buy favours in bulk.

• If you decide to give an expensive favour, perhaps just allocate one per couple.

• Pretty packaging adds value to the favour.

• Personalise by tying on a tag with a thank-you note or consider using monogram stickers.
