Ideas for Favour Box Fillings for Your Wedding
One nice way to let your guests know you appreciate that they participated in your big day is to provide wedding favours. A popular packaging option, wedding favour boxes, come in numerous sizes and provide almost unlimited variations of style and decoration to find just the right adornment for your wedding tables.
Once you pick out your wedding favour boxes, what should you put in them?
Treats that are edible are always a hit since they are affordable and adored by your guests. For best presentation, wrap your edible candy favours in elegant hand-made bags of ribbon and tulle.
Try to choose candy that matches your wedding theme and decorations. Since most candy comes wrapped in different coloured papers, or with different coloured candy shells, this part is pretty simple. Simply attempt to select candies in colours complimentary to your design scheme.
M&M's are a very popular choice; you can even order them with personal messages, names or in specified colours to match the theme of your wedding. You may want to consider buying M&M candies made in your theme colours and printed with the happy couple's names. When your candy arrives, place several pieces onto a small tulle square, bring the corners up and tie it all off with a ribbon. This is a very easy project, though it always produces very attractive results. Other obvious wedding-themed edible treats are Hershey's kisses and conversation hearts. Another great choice is that of mints, because they are visually attractive and they give your guests something sweet at the end of the meal.
Other cute favour ideas can include flower seed packets. These are a very popular choice for a wedding that takes place in the Spring and Summer months. Using seeds can help encourage your guests to enjoy the outdoors and gives them something fun to do in the days following your wedding.
Seed packets will fit in your favour boxes. An ideal wedding favour is potpourri. You can buy potpourri packets to put inside the favour boxes. As well as being extremely attractive, potpourri has a lovely aroma. It will be something the guests can put out in their homes for weeks to come, and they will remember the lovely occasion when they smell it!
The key is to have favours small enough to fit in your wedding favour boxes. Other alternatives could include a bottle stopper, a pack of playing cards, a shot glass, a wine glass charm, a small jar of homemade jam. These favours are a fun reminder for your guests of your big day, pick something that is special to you, and your guests will be sure to love it as well.
