They're a lasting memento. Although most people are fond of sugar coated almonds, they will either be eaten or forgotten about by the time the starters arrive. Meaningful wedding favours are a great way to give each guest a keepsake so they can look back in years to come and remember the day.
Weddings on Female First
Your guests will feel special. Adding a name card or personalising your wedding favours in some way will show your friends and family that you've considered each one of them in your plans. Whether you use photographs to create your favours, or write short, personal messages to each guest. There are lots of ways that you can show them how important they are.
You can make them yourself. It's a chance to release your inner artist and get creative! You don't need to be Kirsty Allsopp to create something meaningful and thoughtful. There are lots of ideas online for making simple but fun wedding favours for all your guests and it's a nice way to take a break from all the planning and while away an afternoon.
They can suit all budgets. They don't have to be expensive, it's the thought that counts. If you're making them yourself then it's easy to keep an eye on costs, but even if you decide not to get your hands dirty, choosing something thoughtful outweighs any amount of money you decide to spend.
They can make a difference. Getting married is about celebrating with your loved ones and creating a day to remember. Cancer Research UK has a range of wedding favours that raise money for life-saving research, including a forget-me-not pin designed by me. As well as being a meaningful keepsake, choosing Cancer Research UK's favours is a way for the bride and groom to celebrate a friend or family member surviving cancer, or to remember someone close to them.
