Why Do We Give Wedding Favours?

Wedding favours are usually given as a little gift from the couple to the guests at their wedding to say thank you for being there and sharing the day with them. These will be left at each place setting where the wedding breakfast will be held. We wanted to share 5 of the best wedding favours with you to help with ideas!

Lots of couples want to give wedding favours to their guests but really can’t decide on what to give to them. Going back a few years, sugar almonds would be given in a little organza bag. These days we’re looking for something different and favours that can be used or kept as a keepsake from the day. Think about your budget and what you can really afford, no one will expect anything over the top or too expensive.
