Why Use Wedding Favour Boxes

Wedding favour boxes are a nice touch to all wedding favours. Sometimes the boxes themselves can become the favours. The boxes will provide a convenient way to protect the gifts that you give, and can be personalised to offer another way to commemorate the occasion. Because there are so many options for styles, shapes, sizes, and colours for wedding favour boxes, no matter what theme your wedding has, you will be able to find one that works well for your ceremony and reception. The materials used to make the boxes will vary, and as a result, cost will vary as well. Most of the time, simple cardboard works wonders.

In the days of olde wedding favour boxes used to be very ornate, encrusted with jewels and lined with precious metals. Inside them, the bride and groom put very expensive sweets or confectioneries, usually chocolate. While today most couples cannot afford such lavish boxes, the tradition carries on with the boxes being used to contain the sweets. Even if the favours are not sweets, many people still turn to favour boxes to add an extra element of appreciation for the guests who are sharing such a wonderful moment with them.

If you do not think your budget will allow for ready-made favour boxes and favours, consider making your own. Simply buy some DIY favour boxes and assemble them yourself, this will save on costs. Then simply add some sort of embellishment and you're all set to go. Use a fancy pen such a metallic marker to write the names of guests and you've got your very own hand made favour boxes, completely customised to your ceremony and reception. Making your own boxes may require more time, but it will stretch the wedding budget just a little further.
