5 top favour tips

1) There's no rule stating that you need to give your guests favours, it's down to personal preference, so don't feel obliged.

2) Consider alternatives to the traditional wedding favour, such as putting the budget you would have spent behind the bar towards free drinks instead.

3) Use the favours to reflect your personality – your likes, dislikes and hobbies.

4) Don't spend a fortune – often the best favours are handmade by the couple, and show that a lot of thought and consideration has gone into them.

5) Don't panic about sorting your favours straight away. Wait until the majority of your planning has been done and then see if there are any obvious elements of your day which lend themselves nicely to favours.
