Wedding Wednesday: 10 Wedding Favour Ideas

Posted by Alexandra C. | Wednesday May 29, 2013

As someone who has been to their fair share of weddings, I have it on good authority that wedding favours usually bite the big one.

Due to my Italian heritage, I've mostly been a guest at Italian weddings and therefore, I have a large collection of useless ceramic figurines. We call them "bombonieres". Does anyone really need a pastel coloured rose with their second cousin and her new husband's name engraved on it?

Nope.

With wedding season upon us and with the threat of this collection growing even larger, I thought it would be useful to put together a few wedding favours that your guests and wedding party would actually enjoy receiving. Practical, unique and thoughtful items that they'll cherish.

Something like a cutting board on the other hand would last forever. Although I feel like it might be a little expensive to send everyone home with a custom cutting board...
