Classic favourite
Cookies. Think
cut outs that match a
blossom in your
bouquet. In many
cases, these sweet
bites can be
designed by your
confectioner.
Hands on
Draw guests out of
their chairs with a
candy buffet or
bakery cart. These
interactive stations
allow guests to fill
favour bags (or
pastry boxes) with
the treats of their
choice.
Bridal bucks
Give your guests one
more reason to be
thankful for your
friendship-slip
lottery tickets into
customized envelopes
placed at each table
setting.
Doubly duty
Choose favours that
also serve as place
cards, or even
centrepieces, to
save money. Think
small wrapped boxes
of chocolate that
you can stack as
centrepieces, or
labeled Champagne
bottles that double
as place cards.
Eco-friendly
Choose a favour that
will help the
environment. Think
evergreen-tree
seedlings.
Win-win favours
You can never go
wrong with
chocolate. But don't
forget less
traditional (and
less expensive)
sweets that can make
a lasting
impression, such as
taffy sticks or
caramels.
Practical present
Shield guests from
the sun, if you're
marrying outdoors,
with pretty parasols
that they'll be able
to use long after
your wedding day
Green thumb
Give guests a
growing favour, such
as potted herbs, to
cook with at home.
Musical memories
Share your love of
music by making
customized CDs for
each guest.
(Download music from
iTunes, itunes.com)
Dashboard departures
Ask the valet to
place a rose on the
dashboard of each
guest's car with an
attached thank-you
note from you and
your groom. This
parting gift doubles
as a favour.
Family bonding
Bake cookies with
mom, enlist
bridesmaids to help
fill clear boxes
with Jordan almonds,
or craft Christmas
stockings with
grandma.
Home cooking
What's better than
mom's signature
apple pie? Give each
guest mini pies for
a tasty treat.
