A Wedding favour is a token gift that newlyweds present to their guests as a small thank-you for attending their special day. Traditionally, guests were offered 5 sugared-almonds to represent the 5 pillars of marriage: Health, Wealth, Happiness, Fertility and a Long Life. Modern weddings bypass this tradition, and we see more creative offerings – everything from little knick-knacks that form part of the table décor, to pre-party aperitifs, that help kick start the celebrations.
Here, we have rounded up five unique wedding favour idea’s that are sure to be a hit with your friends and family!
Fortune Cookies
Give your guests the gift of good fortune, with personalised well wishes in a tasty cookie shell. You could even give the best man a joke one ‘Choking is imminent at an upcoming public speech’ – you get the gist! You can purchase gourmet creations that are designed and flavoured to coordinate with your wedding colours. Present these little treats in pretty organza bags, or display them alongside a printed fan for an oriental theme.
Olive Oil
A perfect choice if you’re serving an Italian feast for your wedding breakfast, olive oil makes an original, and delicious wedding favour. If you already have an olive tree, why not make your own unique flavour combinations? Experiment with chilly; garlic; sage; and even citrus fruits to make your guests a personalised gift, they’ll be sure to remember. Serve in a corked glass bottle, alongside a gift-tag saying, ‘infused with love’ for added cute factor.
Shot’s, shot’s, shot’s
Perhaps not one your grandma will approve of, but offering your guest a shot to go along with the toasts will help everyone get into the party spirit. You could even serve your liquor of choice in a personalised shot glass, as a little keepsake to remember the day. Just don’t forget the salt and lime wedge to go with tequila!
Miniature Succulents
How about a nod to mother nature with a gorgeous green succulent to decorate your tables? These stylish plants will continue to flourish after the wedding date, so your guests can keep a lasting reminder of your big day. Show them off in a neutral terracotta pot to maintain the naturalistic style of your wedding day, and double them up as a name tag by popping a sign on a picket into the soil.
Prosecco Shimmer
Give your wedding day a little extra sparkle by serving shimmering welcome drinks. Pop-A-ball have coined this trend with their flavourless metallic shimmers and colourful bubbles adding a hint of glam to beverages. You can give each guest their very own shimmer, to ensure they feel like an A-lister all night. This dazzling favour will surly make your wedding the most Instagramable event of the year!
