When organising a wedding, one thing that always gets left until last is the wedding favours. It can be tricky to know who to buy for. With many wedding racking up hundreds of guests, providing wedding favours for each of them can be an expensive task, not to mention the hassle of choosing something for everyone.
Engraved Gift Ideas have produced this handy guide to choosing your wedding favours for everyone without breaking the budget.
Wedding party first!
On top of the list of wedding favour recipients should be your wedding party. Bridesmaids, groomsmen, immediate family, anyone close to you who has made a big effort to make your day special. This should be your priority as these are the people who will be by your side throughout the day. Engraved luggage tags and compact mirrors make popular gift choices, as do personalised cufflinks and wine bottle stoppers if you want to pay a bit more.
Who else?
This really depends on how many people you are expecting. If you’re having a smaller, more intimate occasion, it can be quite possible to give everyone a gift without breaking the bank. If it’s a larger scale event with more people, you might want to consider being slightly choosier. If you are inviting fewer people to the ceremony, you could give favours to them as a thank you for witnessing your vows. If you want everyone to have a memento, you can think about buying things on a larger scale to try and save some money.
What to get?
If you plan to go all the way and get everyone a wedding favour, bear price in mind. If you are buying them last and have already spent most of your budget, there are still many ways of gifting something special without having to plough more money in. Try Engraved Gift Ideas’ new wedding favours section, where you can buy a selection of fully engraved gifts from £2.50 each.
Also remember that people aren’t going to want to carry around big bulky items all day, so get something that can fit in pockets or a handbag or you’ll end up with lots of them left at the reception.
If you’ve been a guest at a wedding before, just think about what wedding favours they used and what your reaction to them was. If something was particularly successful, try your own take on that idea.
