Wedding Favours for Your Guests - What To Choose

If you're about to be married and would like to give wedding favours to your guests but can't think what to choose for them, here are a few ideas.
Before we get into detail, you need to decide what you want to pay for your wedding bomboniere; the sky's the limit, but a good range to consider would be $2 to $10. Obviously $2 wedding favours aren't going to be of the quality of the more expensive items but this is just meant to be a little memento of your wedding, so don't stress if you can't afford $10 per guest.
You also need to decide whether you're going to give different wedding favours to male guests than to female. This is probably a good idea as there isn't too much in the wedding bomboniere line that is suitable for both men and women. However, if you do decide to give different gifts, make sure that the price is about the same.
Ideas for women:
- perfume
- perfume bottles
- candles
- candle holders
- photograph frames
- jewellery boxes
If you're opting for perfume as a wedding bomboniere, be careful as it's rather a personal thing, however a pretty perfume bottle would suit any lady.
There's a vast array of candles and candle holders ranging from plain glass tealight holders and frosted votive holders to stained glass tealight holders and colourful gel candles in cocktail glasses.
Photograph frames abound in all different shapes and styles. Personalise this gift by inserting a photo of yourselves in each one or better still one of you with the person to whom you're giving.
In the absence of real jewels, fill the jewellery boxes with sweets or chocolates in colourful wrappers.
Ideas for men:
- fragrances
- bottle openers and corkscrews
- bottle stoppers
- keyrings
- letter openers
Glass coasters and glass goblets are a welcome addition to anyone's cocktail cabinet.
Tea kits are fun and useful but spare a thought for any guest who doesn't drink tea.
Ideas for either:
- engraved glass coasters
- glassware
- tea kits
- bookmarks
Bookmarks have always been useful to the avid reader but in these days of electronic book readers, be careful that you're not giving a useless gift.
Fragrances are again fraught with difficulty so unless you know your males guests extremely well, you may want to give this a miss.
Bar accessories as wedding favours are popular and will usually have a wedding themed decoration in the shape of a heart or a cross; the same goes for keyrings and letter openers.
So, as you can see there are plenty of wedding favours to choose from in a range of prices and for more ideas please visit our site with quality listings of wedding bomboniere specialists.
