They're for your guests :) I think they're meant to be a thank you for coming kinda thing?? People usually leave them on the tables for the guests to see when they sit down & it can be whatever you want, as small as you want. Sweets, keyrings etc xx

A token of appreciation in the form of a treat or keepsake for your guests. I've seen everything from sweets to personalised charms to colouring books for the kids. Not essential but very popular :)

traditional favours are a bag of 5 sugared almonds, they are meant to represent happiness, wealth, health, fertility and long life. I having chocolate kisses in a little jar but still sticking to the 5 pieces

ahhh ok i see, is it something that has to be done? because we r havin a champagne receoption and a buffet, oviously we will have tables for people to sit etc, may have to have a think about how/what i can do... i remember when my aunty got married she has these cute lil organza bags with sugared almonds in, mind u i was six then, that was almost 20 years ago so that sprobably out of fashion now lol thankyou :) xx
only just seen your other comments, thanks ladies, i shall look into it, defo something for me to have a think about xx
CommentAuthorKellyN29
i think it is a little but lots of twists on that now. not 100% needed but a little personalised item for those to keep who want to always goes down well

you can get organza bags on the bay quite cheap, then put in sweets of your choice - whatever your favourites are, or even personalise your napkins with a stamp

I think if you decide to have wedding favours i think it should be personal to yourself. But there is a numerous of things you can do. As i am doing mini treasure chests with there names on.
