If you have ever planned a
wedding then you will know one thing for sure – they can be really expensive.
There are no two ways about it, as soon as you mention the word wedding whether
in a cake, dress or jewellery shop then you can automatically and another zero
to the price.
With so many different things
to think about for the big day the costs can spiral out of control. But help is
at hand! Making things like wedding favours can really cut down on costs and they
can be really simple to do.

If
you are getting married in the summer then chocolate might not be the way to
go, especially if it is looking like it will be a warm day! An alternative
sugary treat to chocolate would be to use sweets instead; by purchasing a small
jar you can put a few sweets of your choice together and give your guests a
real treat! Attaching a small name label to the jar will also make them a
perfect
Sugar Almonds
These are a traditional
wedding favour would usually consist of 5 sugared almonds which are used to
represent health, wealth, happiness, long life and fertility. You can pick up
some organza bags fairly cheaply and put some almonds in, which can make for
some very attractive wedding favours that you haven’t had to spend a fortune to
make. Almonds can come in all shapes and sizes, and you can often find
specially coloured ones to add a different effect to your favour – Just make
sure that no one at your reception has a severe nut allergy!

If you are looking for
something a little bit more modern then chocolate wedding favours are really
taking off – because who doesn’t like chocolate? (Ok, so there may be one or
two who don’t but you can’t please everyone!) Forever Wedding Favours have a great range of chocolate shaped wedding favours
to pick from including heart shaped or lollipop sticks all wrapped in foil. Whether
you’ve got a theme for your wedding or just something simple like a particular
colour, then chocolates in certain flavours and wrappings can tie into your day
perfectly.

For a more elegant chocolate
favour you could use the “Just Married Neapolitans” and offer them round with
tea or coffee after the wedding breakfast as chocolate is a great way to finish
a meal.

Sweets In A Jar
personalised gift and, while
it may take some time to create, they will look amazing once you have finished.
Choosing the most suitable wedding
favour for your guests can be tricky but it doesn’t have to cost the Earth. Creating
or making something small can often have a bigger impact than spending a lot of
money buying something that hasn’t had a lot of thought going in to it.
Remember though, it is your
day and while offering your guests a small gesture of appreciation is a great
way to acknowledge their involvement in being there, it is not something you
have to stress about!
