Deciding whether or which favour to add to your wedding tables for your guests? We’ve come up with a list of our favourites over the years to help you decide.
They are a simple, yet effective touch for your guests & a memorable reminder of your special day.
Favourite shot – To get the party started, why not add your favourite shot to each place setting for everyone to take a shot once you have tied the knot.
Personalised sweet bags – Are you having a sweet or a treat cart? Why not personalised the bags which your guests use to put their goodies in.
Personalised food treats – A sweet treat on each place setting is always a favourite amongst our guests, whether this is sugar biscuits, cupcakes, chocolate lollipops etc ..
Box of chocolate – A luxurious chocolate box for your guests to either take home with them or enjoy after their meal. Whether the chocolate box is branded to you, picture of you both, Mr & Mrs X or a well known brand, it’s something you’re guests will enjoy.
Personalised Ice cream wafers – Did you know, on our recommended suppliers we do have a ice-cream cart recommendation. If you were to add this option for your wedding day, you can also include personalised wafers. This is a special touch for your guests ice cream and a delicious picture opportunity.
Keepsake place names – Instead of using paper name places, which might just be thrown away at the end of your wedding, why not do your place names in wood, metal, plastic (rose gold designs, floral etc ..). This would be something your guests would take home with them & be a keepsake for them.
Personalised stationary – If you are having a guest book or even marriage advice box, why not provide each guest with a personalised pencil for them to write both of the above for you. The pencil will be taken home with them after the wedding and something they continue to use after your special day and always remind them of the day.
A scratch card – As you are wished luck for your new life as a married couple, why not provide some luck for your guests also with a scratch card on each place setting.
Personalised hand fan – If it’s summer when you are getting married and potential for a hot day, why not leave each guest a personalised fan, which they can use to cool them down on the day and also a keepsake to take home with them.
Golf balls – Are either of you big golf fans (or even this could work for other sports)? Why not add personalised golf balls to each place setting, which shows your names and the dates of the wedding. This is a forever keepsake for your guests to take home and always remind them of your wedding.
Scented candle – A scent to remind you and your guests of your wedding day. Each anniversary you could then re-buy the same candle to burn and remind yourselves of your wedding scent. It’s a nice keepsake for your guests to take home as well, rather than something they just have on the day.
Personalised Sparkler – Are you thinking of lighting sparklers at the night time? Why not involve your guests and leave one on each place setting for them to light at the end of the evening with you. The cover the sparklers come in, could be personalised with your names and wedding date. This would also be a picture opportunity for your guests.
Glow sticks – Are you & your guests ravers? If so, why not have a personalised glow sticks, which your guests can later take to the dancefloor with them.
Cultural wedding – Looking for ways to reference your culture on your wedding day, why not add a wedding favour which is relevant to that, for example, Chinese wedding you could add fortune cookies, French wedding, you could add macaroons.
Time of year wedding – Are you getting married at Christmas? If so, a festive touch would be to add a candy cane to each seat, or maybe a Christmas cookie, even a personalised Christmas bauble.
Meaningful Favour – With your favour you might want to reference a meaningful date for you both. This could be the place you got engaged (France – Macroons), (Italy – Mini Cannoli’s) etc ..
Hangover recovery kit – Are you expecting your wedding to be a heavy night for your guests? Why not provide them with a hangover recovery kit, with all the essentials that they will need for the day after your wedding. They might include things such as paracetamol, teabags, mints, sunglasses and a chocolate bar.
