Have Your Favours Your Way
Each wedding favour symbolises the bride's acknowledgement of each friend and relative and are a beautiful thank you and keepsake.
Originally, five sugared almonds wrapped in lace or net were given to symbolise health, wealth, happiness, long life and fertility.
This custom dates back to early European history but today, couples like to 'think outside the box'.
Thinking outside the box means there are a lot of alternative favours to sugared almonds these days - from a childhood favourite sweet to candles, soaps, glasses, spoons, lottery tickets.
The list could be endless but price is a serious consideration, especially considering the actual cost of a wedding in the first place.
Any good favour company should listen to their customers' ideas and try to come up with something that is appropriateto their specific theme (if they have one).
If this isn't the case, then a product that will co-ordinate with their particular colour scheme should be offered.
Don't be fobbed off with a stock item that probably lots of other couples have gone for.
Your wedding is individual and should not be the same as any other couple.
At the end of the day it's your money - have what you want! Lots of companies tend to have the same items which are varied by adding details such as the name of the bride and groom and date of the wedding.
Look for something that is more individual and represents you and your partner.
Maybe a lifelong hobby or fascination for something.
There are many themes out there such as pink and silver for Barbie, cars, golf or football for the guys.
If your combined name is going to be Mr and Mrs Smart what about basing it on the Smartie theme.
There is something for everyone if you think about it.
Think through your ideas for a while before putting it into practice.
Ask for samples before you buy.
There is nothing worse than ordering something and finding out it isn't what you really want.
This way, everyone is happy from the bride and groom to the people who make them and send them out.
Above all, enjoy your day by planning the small items like favours well in advance.
There is help out there when you look for it.
