FAVOURS

In terms of presentation:

• Organza decorated with ribbon (ideal with sugared almonds for the traditional bonbonnière).
• Small decorative tie-bags (a contemporary option and a twist on the organza tradition)
• Mini-Hat Boxes (top hat’s for the gents, boaters for the ladies – ideal for individual chocolates)
• Presentation Tins (a little more pricey, but you can have them engraved or decorated with wedding details to act as a keepsake)
• Cones (classy cardboard objects that are ideal for smaller sweets – jelly beans and alike)
• Character Boxes (cute idea for little kids – designs such as clowns or Disney characters can easily be tracked down if you shop around)
• See-through patterned cellophane (the least ornate option, but a cheap and modern one nonetheless. A sensible option for rock and fudge).

Adult Only Favours

If you fancy splashing out and getting your guests something in addition to the candy, then there are a number of options open to you. Let’s first of all take a look at those options which are most suitable for the guests aged 18 and over.

• Alcohol Miniatures (whether it’s whiskey, vodka, gin, brandy or whatever, these are sure to be popular amongst your guests – you can even have each label personalised)
• Lottery Tickets (16+: an opportunity to make one of your guests a millionaire, and they’re bound to give you some if they do win big! You can even buy lottery ticket wallets these days to top them off)
• Bets (if there is a major event happening soon – the Grand National, the World Cup, even the Eurovision Song Contest, then why not place a bet on each entrant and randomly distribute the slips amongst your guests!)
• Luxury Soap (a quality favour that can be boxed and personalised – ideal for all guests, but older ones will perhaps appreciate it a little more)
• Scent Miniatures (not as expensive as you might think – these smellies are available as perfumes or aftershaves and are ideal for men and women alike)
• Personalised Toast Glasses (a pricey option, but a high-class one – acts as an ideal keepsake also)
• Personalised Match Boxes (perhaps not the most PC-option these days, but a traditional option and ideal for any smokers)
