Our
Asian upbringing teaches us to always appreciate
the effort that others have made in playing a
part in our lives. This extends to weddings too,
where couples make it a point to express their
gratitude to their relatives and friends for their
support and for sharing this milestone in their
lives.
As
with any token of appreciation, it is the thought
that counts. It is therefore not necessary for
couples to spend exorbitant amounts on wedding
favours if budget is an issue. The creative talents
of our local artisans as well as the sheer variety
of knick-knacks available in shopping complexes,
night markets, handicraft centres and flea markets
are indeed a blessing for couples searching for
that meaningful favour.
Take the time to scour the shops and wedding
service providers to get ideas before settling
on the one favour that most befits your personality
and reflects your stylistic inclinations.
Don't leave it too late especially if you
have a large guest list.
Order and pay a deposit as early as possible
if you are getting your favours specially
designed and manufactured, as custom-commissions
normally require more lead time.
You can either incorporate the favours into
the table setting or have friends distribute
the favours towards the end of the wedding
banquet.
