Table Gifts & Favours
Friday, January 2nd, 2009Presenting small gifts, or favours, to your wedding guests is a time-honoured custom which originated in Italy, where they are know as Bomboniere and, traditionally, were presented in elegantly designed boxes or lace nets and contained five sugared almonds, symbolising health, wealth, happiness, fertility and long life.
Wedding Favours make wonderful table decorations and are a perfect way of thanking your guests for attending the wedding. Some favour ideas include small boxes of chocolates, candles, small pots of flowers, novelty chocolates and personalised miniature alcohol favours. Favours are often referred to as table gifts as they are usually set at each guest’s place at a sit-down meal. Alternatively, for buffets, favours can be arranged on a separate table for guests to take as they pass.
