Planning a wedding involves countless details, each contributing to a day that celebrates love and commitment. One way to add a personal touch is through thoughtfully chosen wedding favours. These small gifts show appreciation to your guests, thanking them for sharing in (and often traveling for) your special day. Here are some creative ideas to inspire you and make your wedding stand out.
We lean towards favors that tie together your theme or wedding colors in your tablescape. Some of our favorites include Frill or Scallop Embroidered Napkins and Personalised Velvet Place Bows. The velvet bows, embroidered with your guests' initials, add an extra dimension to each place setting and will definitely be taken home by your guests or used as hair accessories later in the evening.
We’ve had a great partnership with Lockdown Liquor over the past few years, and one of our favourite seating chart tips is doubling up your place card as a favour. Add a table number alongside your guest’s name on the label of a mini-cocktail bottle and neatly arrange them on a table. This way, the guests pick them up, take them to their table, and have them ready for the all important toast. Choose your tipple from a lineup that includes Picantes and Espresso Martinis.
Wedding favours don’t have to be limited to the table at G & O. We encourage you to incorporate them throughout your celebration. Our personalised fans are essential for a destination wedding and can be included in a welcome basket alongside other must-haves like our Rescue and Remedy Hangover Kit. Useful favours show your guests that you want them to enjoy the day as much as you do. Fans, such as our Sandalwood Fan or 'Happy Tears' Handkerchief, are a lovely memento that can be laid out on your guests' chairs for the ceremony.
With weddings often being multi-day celebrations, many couples have a more relaxed second day, such as a BBQ or another low-key outdoor affair to help nurse sore heads from the night before. These events often include activities or nods to things the newly married couple enjoy doing together. We put together The Luxury Wedding Favor Bundle for this second day, including personalized items like coasters, cups, and cocktail stirrers. Adding your wedding artwork to these necessary items gives what could be considered mundane a fun touch.
Choosing the perfect wedding favors involves considering your personal style, wedding theme, and the message you wish to convey. We want to inspire you to give unforgettable favors that reflect your happy day and most importantly aren’t just left on the table at the end of the night.
