Our Top Wedding Favours and Printed Products
Posted on: 01/07/2023, 07:00
Hello Wedding Season! If you’re organising for your own wedding that is coming up in the calendar, or you’re a planner like me and just like to look for ideas (waaay before any sign of a proposal), you’ll know that at some weddings the married couple like to give out wedding favours to their guests to help commemorate the day.
The very first wedding favours actually date back a long long time ago and were known as 'bonbonnieres'. They were given to the attending guests as a symbol of good luck, and the lucky guests in attendance would usually find themselves going home with either a sugar cube or sugared almonds! Today, you can really tailor them to your chosen wedding theme or preference. So, to help you decide we have created a list of some of our favourite fun and quirky gifts that you can give to your wedding guests!
1. Mini Champagne Bottles with Custom Labels – A classic really. Celebrate your big day with mini champagne bottles, personalised with custom labels featuring your wedding details.
2. Printed Napkins – A rememberable dinner service, choose your own design, whether it be your wedding details, fun facts about the couple or even a funny slogan for the messy eaters, this will give your guests something to take home and reuse again and again.
3. Sweet Bags - Create customised bags for your guests to take home some sweet treats from your special day. A fun way of doing this is having two different types of sweets to showcase each half’s favourite.
4. Emergency Next Day Kit – this is one your guests will be thankful for the morning after the wedding. Fill a gift bag with “hangover kits” to make them feel a little less worse for wear after dancing the night away at your wedding. This could be filled with a chocolate or energy bar, mints, hand sanitizer, a tea bag and even some paracetamol.
5. Printed Tea Towel – We have seen a few of these come through our workshop over the years and they never fail to disappoint. Keep it simple with just your wedding details or add some illustrations. It is a keepsake that your guests can use and be reminded of your special day.
6. Personalised Coasters - Help your guests protect their furniture with personalised coasters featuring your names, date, or other designs.
7. Flower Seeds Packets – If you’re looking for a more eco-friendly option as a wedding favour then gifting your guests with a packet of flower seeds is perfect. Your guests will be reminded of your wedding as they watch their flowers grow.
8. Printed Tote Bags – again we have seen many variations of this come through our workshop since we started The Clever Baggers. Different coloured tote bag to brighten up the wedding, or the classic natural tote bag with your wedding details printed on. Going for a more rustic wedding? Why not look into having jute bags printed with your wedding details to help stay on theme.
9. Temporary Tattoos - For a playful touch, consider giving your guests temporary tattoos with your wedding date or a fun design. You can either hire someone to apply henna tattoos at your wedding or create your own temporary tattoos (like the ones we used to get with some bubble-gum!) These can be created at home using temporary tattoo paper and a printer.
10. Unique Keychains – Give your guests a fun a quirky keychain, this could feature a wedding related message like “Forever & Always” or could feature charms that represent the happy couple and their special day.
11. Wooden Place Names – A practical favour for your wedding guests. As this elegant touch will help your guest locate their place setting at the wedding reception and it will also be a very personal keepsake for them to take with them that can be used as part of their décor in their home, or even turned into a Christmas tree decoration.
12. Customised Shot Glasses - Toast to your special day with customised shot glasses featuring your wedding date or names.
13. Candles – personalise some candles with custom labels featuring your wedding details so your guests will remember your special day when relaxing at home.
14. Children’s Activity Busy Bag - Finally, if you are inviting children to your wedding why not prepare a “Busy Bag” filled with activities to keep them entertained during the service and reception. This could include an activities booklet and some colouring in crayons, a little teddy bear, play doh/slime, fun snacks, and drinks. Famous Television personality Stacey Solomon prepared her own Busy Bags last year before her wedding to Jo Swash. You can see how she filled hers here: Stacey Solomon Activity Bags
Now look there is nothing to say that you have to hand out wedding favours at your wedding, but they are a lovely gesture and can help add your own unique twist to your wedding. Not only are they a fun way to show your guests gratitude and how much you love them, but they're also a sweet reminder of the most special day of your life.
