Make Your Day Special With Wedding Favours And Bonbonnieres

A common tradition at the conclusion of wedding receptions is to give wedding favours to your guests as a thanks for spending their day, celebrating your marriage. They come in many different forms and can be tailored to reflect the shared interests of the happy couple. Although it's not a compulsory practice, it's one that offers a nice gesture to your friends and family. Wedding favours and bonbonnieres also provide a memento or a keepsake for guests to remember your special day. Some may even be incorporated into their home decor! Taking wedding favours into consideration when planning your wedding takes the extra step in showing guests how loved and valued they are in celebrating your special day.

Cherished Wedding Favours That Your Guests Will Adore

Wedding favours are designed to provide your guests with a thank you gift that acts as a memento of your special day. They can be as simple as a slice of your wedding cake to take home or can be more organised with personalised gifts for each guest to remember your wedding day. They can bring a decorative touch to your table settings while acting as a name card to help your guests to find their seats. A nice idea for wedding favours is tambourines for guests to play as the wedded couple makes their grand entrance into the reception venue.

What To Include In Wedding Favour Boxes And Wedding Favour Bags

Rather than opting for one gift for each of your guests, you may decide to provide your guests with wedding favour boxes filled with your favourite sweet treats and smaller presents. You can create your own wedding favour bags by filling organza bags with chocolate, bubbles and sugared almonds. Another fun and amusing option for wedding favour bags is to make a "survival kit" to ensure guests are prepared for the tiring day after the wedding. Necessities such as bandaids, painkillers, mints and smaller snacks make for perfect survival wedding favour bags.

Rustic Wedding Favours For A Picturesque Celebration

You can coordinate your wedding favours with your wedding decor for a sense of cohesiveness throughout your special day. For a laid back decor style, rustic wedding favours are perfect gifts and decor pieces. Take into consideration the materials of the gifts you're choosing for your guests. Wooden wedding favours such as coasters or bottle openers are a great option for guests to both remember your day with a useful memento that they can keep for years to come.

Traditional Wedding Bonbonnieres

The practice of handing out favours dates back to wedding bonbonnieres being gifted to guests at the conclusion of weddings in Italy and France. Traditionally, bonbonnieres consisted of a bag of jordan almonds, sugared almonds that symbolise the sweet times covering the bitter times. They were typically gifted in groups of five to resemble the classic poem associated with the sugared almonds resembling the five wishes for the couple to have health, wealth, happiness, family and a long life.

Wedding Favours FAQs

What is the etiquette for wedding favours?

Wedding favours enable you to express your appreciation and thanks for your loved ones attending your celebration. They do require some planning in advance to the big day. You should plan whether you're handing out wedding favours per person or per family. You can also plan whether you wish to personalise such gifts with the family names. They typically don't have to be large and extravagant, they can simply be small tokens of your appreciation. Wedding favours aren't exactly a compulsory practice but one that is nice to include in order to thank your friends and family.

How do you give out wedding favours?

If personalising your wedding favours, you can place these gifts on the reception tables where guests will be sitting as name cards, making it easy for guests to find their place while providing them with a thoughtful present. On the other hand, another option is to position boxes of wedding favours by the exit door for guests to help themselves to when departing your reception.
