It's the small things that people remember at a wedding. Wedding favours are perfect for fulfilling such an objective. Wedding favours are an important element at the start of the reception so choose your wedding favours carefully – they don’t have to be expensive, but they should be welcoming.
To almost every couple, the wedding reception is as important as the ceremony itself, as this is when the bride and groom get to share their joy with their families and friends. Wedding favours are the couple’s first gesture towards their invited guests and so convey an important message. Whether large or small, expensive or more thrifty, the ideal wedding favour should say welcome – thank you for being here to celebrate our marriage.
There is no more welcoming wedding favour than something personal - something that reflects the personality of the bride and groom and the relationship they share. Symbols of love are often chosen as wedding favours for this reason - they can include simple items, such as heart shaped boxes and sweets, ribbons or even confetti.
The secret behind effective wedding favours is often their simplicity: they do not have to be expensive. The embracing sense of welcome is conveyed as much in the arrangement of the table setting as the gift itself, and cheap wedding favours can be highly effective when arranged thoughtfully. For example, pretty stationery and wild flowers are as beautiful a wedding favour as a far more expensive gift.
Every bride has spent hours reading bridal magazines and has seen a multitude of beautiful table setting examples. The magic behind each and every one of these is not the expense with which wedding favours were purchased, but the care and creativity with which the settings were arranged.
So welcome your guests to your wedding party by choosing wedding favours that embody the happiness of your special day. Arrange your favours with thought and care to send your guests the welcoming message that wedding favours were created to convey.
