What are wedding favour boxes and do you need them? 

Wedding favour boxes are exactly what they say on the tin – boxes with wedding favours in! Usually they’re placed on the wedding table for guests to pick up at dinner but they can also be handed out at the end of the night like grown-up party bags. And, while you definitely don’t *need* them, they’re a nice way to say a big, humongous thank you to your guests if your budget allows for it.

Different types of wedding favour boxes
Wedding favour boxes come in all shapes and sizes depending on what you want to put in them. You can get them personalised or you could even DIY your own. They can also be a great way to help your guests take home a slice of your wedding cake as sometimes guests might be too full to eat some on the day. Though, that could never be us.

Alternatives to wedding favour boxes 
If boxes aren’t quite the vibe, you could try wedding favour bags instead. In some cases, the favours might either be so small you don’t need packaging or they’re something you eat or drink alongside your meal. And, you may not even need to package things individually. Some couples even opt for pick and mix as their favour and provide bags so everyone can pick out their faves. Pink shrimp, anyone?

What to put in wedding favour boxes 
Your wedding favours are the perfect opportunity to put your spin on things. Maybe it’s picking a scent that you love or stamping your name onto a handmade biscuit? Or, if you’re particularly crafty, you could even DIY them yourself. But if not, our small brands are more than happy to do it for you.
