Better still, wedding favours can be one of the most affordable ways to add a personal touch to your wedding reception decorations and are one of the easiest wholesale wedding accessories to put together. Adding a unique charm to bulk-bought favours is simpler than you might have imagined.
Your One And Only
One of the most straightforward ways to personalise your wedding favours, or any wedding supplies, is to add the initials of the bride and groom or the date of the wedding. Custom-printed or monogrammed favour boxes or bags can be extremely expensive, but it is simple to do it yourself. You can label them by hand if you or a friend has good handwriting or knows calligraphy, or you can use a home printer or letter transfer set. You could even invest in a custom-made stamp featuring your initials or special day to use for favour boxes, invitations and thank-you notes.
As well as making the favour containers personal to the bride and groom, think beyond the traditional sugared almonds to make the contents reflect the happy couple. For example, you could choose a favourite sweet each, or a treat that reflects where each of you come from or the location of the wedding. Favours don’t always have to be edible, either. How about small but useful gifts, such as cookie cutters, tape measures and bottle stoppers that guests can take home with them?
Favours On a Theme
Wedding favours are a great opportunity to bring your theme together, whether that’s through the choice of colours, materials or contents. It’s possible to get favour bags and boxes in almost any colour and fabric, from simple jute bags for a home-spun, natural feel to clear noodle-style boxes and lace tulle circles.
Coordinated favour containers can be the star of your wedding table decorations and look great either as place markers or generously piled up for guests to help themselves to on their way home. They can also be a great way to emphasise an additional colour in your theme that was perhaps part of the flowers but not featured in the clothes of the wedding party. Clever colour choices in your wedding reception decorations can help to blend the wedding theme with the colour scheme at your venue.
All About You
Wedding favours are a great opportunity to be crafty and make a plain box totally unique. Better yet, craft projects like this are something you can get working on whenever you have time, after the invitations go out and well before the busy last few weeks before the wedding.
Take a look at the great choice of craft supplies available at WWS. Easy-to-use craft materials such as crochet tape, washi tape, mini pegs and bakers twine can help anyone to come up with a simple and special favour design that works for them and with their theme. No experience is necessary!
