How to Choose the Right Kind of Wedding Favours
Wedding favours are an important part your overall ceremony and reception. Choosing the right ones can be quite a daunting task and you should put plenty of thought behind it based on your tastes, the wedding theme, and the overall budget. To save money, you may be able to make your own wedding favours to add a wonderful personal touch. When you are trying to decide what kind of wedding favours you want for your wedding, do not rush, because the answer will come in time.
Colours and Theme
Do you have a specific theme or set of colours you are using in your wedding? Depending on the wedding theme, you could have a bunch of favour ideas. Think of things that could tie everything together.
Mood
Think about the reception. Is it formal? Casual? Semi-formal? Set the favours to match the mood of the gathering. The more formal the gathering, the more formal the favours should be.
Budget
Do you have the money to order favours pre-made from a company that specializes in wedding favours? Are you getting wedding favour boxes? If not, you may want to consider making your own wedding favours to stretch the budget. Even if you have budgeted for favours, it may be easier to do your own than it is to order them and you could put the difference toward flowers or your honeymoon.
About You and the Groom
How did the two of you meet? What is something the two of you enjoy doing together? How did he propose? All of these things have a unique back story that could inspire wedding favours.
Time
Do you have time for something complex? DIY favour boxes take time to put together though they will save you money. If you decide to use DIY favours boxes, then plan to give yourself plenty of time to assemble them and get your friends involved to help out!
Choose several options and narrow it down based on your requirements with price, time, and look to make sure it fits your ceremony and reception the way you want it to.
