Planning the perfect wedding day is a journey filled with many expectations that you need to fulfil to bring your unique vision to life. From the most important aspects, such as the dress, the venue, and the theme of the big day, to the smaller details, such as whether you will allow children, pets, or extras to really make your big day stand out, every decision takes time and patience. We understand the effort and thoughtfulness that goes into pulling everything together.
But one way to truly make an impact on your wedding day and show deep appreciation for your guests is to go above and beyond with the wedding favours. These are not just gifts; they are tokens of your heartfelt thanks and gratitude and little mementoes that your guests can treasure once the celebrations are over, reminding them of the special day they shared with you.
You can give many things as wedding favours, but if you want to give your guests something truly special, these are excellent choices.
Alcohol
Creating a personalised bottle of alcohol to give out at your wedding is a great way to give them something to remember the day and enjoy later. From Personalised Whisky to a bottle of champagne, prosecco, or even specially mixed cocktails, this can be an excellent wedding favour. Simply create your own label with something to commemorate your day and add it on, and it’s the perfect gift.
Custom fragrance
A custom fragrance is a scent you put together designed only for your wedding day. Whether you choose bespoke perfume, cologne or room fragrance, creating something unique will help your gifts to stand out.
Wedding art
Wedding art is a relatively new concept for weddings, but it involves having an artist present for the day and creating custom pictures of all of your guests. They can pose for caricatures, have your artist draw pictures of them in real life, or your artist can take photos on the day to turn into hand-drawn works of art once the wedding is over.
Artisanal chocolates
Artisanal chocolates are created by working with a chocolatier to create one-of-a-kind chocolate favours you can then hand out at your wedding reception. Develop a custom flavour or style with different embellishments to help you create a mouthwatering treat. Then, add an extra touch of elegance to your favours by adding a silk bow and a personal message to each box.
Luxury candles
Again, like with your artisanal chocolate, you can work with a candle maker to help you create your perfect wedding day scent and capture this in a candle for guests to take home. Alternatively, you can opt for luxury brands such as Jo Malone and buy a small candle for each wedding guest to take home from pre-chosen fragrances you like or that will remind them of you.
If you don’t want to gift candles, you can choose wax melts or create a custom fragrance oil for oil burners.
Gift Boxes
If you’re unsure what you want to give or want to go above and beyond, creating small gift boxes for every single guest will be a great way to wow them and have your wedding day in their minds for a long time afterwards. The gift box itself needs to be extra special, so choose something that is covered with a material such as velvet. Then you can add anything and everything in it. It can be sample size proceeds of everything mentioned in this post; it can contain trinkets from your wedding day such as a small dried flower version of the bouquet, a frame to hold a picture you will have taken of them on the day, i.e. a photographer handing out polaroid images of people they took or anything you wish. Make it even more special by personalising the box with their name or your wedding details.
Experience
Lastly, if you really want to stand out for the calibre of your wedding favours, you can gift each person who celebrates your wedding day with a gift experience. It could be that you hand out overnight stays at a hotel or the venue you hold your wedding at, it could be you arrange wine tasting at a later day, a spa day or beauty treatment, it’s entirely up to you, but if you want to indulge your guests, this can make an outstanding wedding favour for all who attend.
Luxury wedding favours are an ideal way to show your appreciation to those who have taken the time to celebrate your wedding day with you. These ideas are just a few that can elevate your wedding favours and give your guests something special to remember the day by.
