Do we have to have favours for the guests?

This is a great questions! Plus one I'm sure many couples have pondered over the years.

Are they essential to a wedding?? I would say not essential. It is personal preference.

Favours / bomboniere are a gorgeous way to let your guests and bridal party know that you love and appreciate them being part of your magical day!

Wedding favours aren't a neccessity but act as a small thank you for your guests! We could suggest combining the name/place card and the bombonnerie together, perhaps on a delicious cookie... This would keep your costs down but add a lovely, yummy touch to your table decor. Good luck with all your wedding planning!

Wedding favours are traditionally provided by the bride and groom to thank their guests for coming to the special day. It is totally up to the bride and groom wether you wish to have wedding favours or not.

Wedding favours do not have to be expensive and are a nice way of showing appreciation to your guests for their presence (and presents!) on your big day. It is a little something to say thanks. Personalised wedding favours are a special and meaningful gift, and they dont have to break the budget! Giftware Direct sell personalised wedding favours which start from just $1.00 each.

Some popular wedding favour options include personalised bottle openers, pens, shot glasses, wine or beer glasses, coasters, keyrings, placecards and more.

This question is often asked by couples. The answer is no.  Its your day you can do whatever you want.  Wedding favours are a gesture of thanks to your guests.  Wedding favours, guest gifts or Bomboneire are the different terminolgy given.  There is a long history of wedding bomboneire that evolved with the French and then moved across to Europe.   Don't feel pressured to do a wedding favour if that's not what you and your partner want to do.   Many couples use the favour as part of the table setting for their guests, including colour themes and name tags.  These days there is a lot on offer in this area and many couples are DIY their gifts.  Enjoy your wedding planning and I hope the above helps you.  

Simply put no, but from past experiences, guests do look forward to receiving a little something on the day. Although they're a token of your thanks and appreciation for them sharing in your celebration, I must add favours have evolved considerably over the years. Popular options nowadays are practical small and inexpensive gifts, ones they'll have many memorable years of use. Keyrings, bottle openers, salt and pepper shakers, silver spoons or cheese knives. Have the best of both worlds and include decorative touches to your tables that also double up as their thank you gift. Place stunning silver wedding cake place card holders or mini silver photo frames at each guests setting. There's name card holders styled for contemporary, traditional and rustic weddings. Favours can reflect your colour theme, personality or be incorporated amongst your table decorating, either way,  your guests will be thrilled to bits to recieve one.

Favours are not mandatory but its a nice way to show appreciation for sharing the special occaison. However, it is only is effective if the favour is thoughtful and usable. Most mainstream & boring favours are left behind at weddings, so if you're going to gift a favour make sure it puts a smile on your guest to enhance the memory of the day.
