Today, wedding favours can be almost anything but some couples take the opportunity to really get their creative juices flowing and come up with some really innovative wedding favour ideas. From traditional sugared almonds to amazing wedding favours that will astound, amuse or amaze your guests, we take a look at some of the best wedding favour ideas you should consider for your big day.
Coffee
It’s nice to give something useful to your guests as a wedding favour and you’ll almost certainly have a lot of coffee loving guests coming to your wedding. A great idea is to order some fantastic custom coffee mugs for your guests and fill them with some fresh roasted coffee beans. If you want to really go the extra mile, have each mug personalised for each individual guest at your wedding. If however funds don’t allow this (it can be quite expensive) simply have the mugs mark your wedding date in some way.
Chocolate
If you’re looking for a budget wedding favour option and one that you cannot really go wrong with the chocolate is a great idea. Whether you decide to go for small foil wrapped chocolates or chocolate in the middle of the table, nearly everyone likes chocolate in some form or another. You could be a little bit more adventurous and have some specialist chocolates made especially for your wedding day which will really be appreciated by your guests and give them a pleasant memory of your big day.
Kids Activity Boxes
Sometimes younger guests can get a little bored at a wedding and it can be tough trying to keep them amused. A very good way is to give children their very own activity box as a wedding favour. Personalise them for boys and girls and have a range of activities such as puzzles and colouring in and you’ll find that your younger guests have a much nicer day. At Warwick House, we have Boy and Girl activity packs, so ask us for more details as and when you book your wedding with us.
Personalised Trolley Coin Keyring
If you’re looking for something unusual but also something that is really practical, why not think outside of the box and go for something like personalised trolley coin keyrings. They may not have a big ‘Wow’ factor but they can be personalised with a little message and they’ll be used lots, giving your guests happy memories of your wedding every time they use a supermarket.
Sugared Almonds
Sugar coated almonds are a traditional wedding favour and they can be a great choice if you want a classic, traditional wedding favour. Their popularity not only rests upon their simplicity but their cultural significance too. Fresh almonds have a bittersweet taste which is meant to signify life and the sugarcoating represents the sweetness that marriage brings to life and how it can make life more sweet than bitter. There’s even more cultural significance in Italy and with families with Italian heritage in the UK where 5 sugar coated almonds are given to each guest as a favour. These signify the five wishes for the bride and groom :
Health
Wealth
Happiness
Fertility
Longevity
