Favours that are a part of a wedding are traditionally given to guests that are attending a reception.  If you have a banquet or set of tables, then the favours will be left on the table placements for the guests.  Most that are attending a reception don't expect to receive a small item or gift, but instead a small and simple keepsake or favour that adds in the personal touch to the wedding reception.

One of the most popular items that are used as favours for a wedding reception are sweets and candy.  These are usually wrapped in a small bag or box and are placed on each table.  Most likely, the sweets will come wrapped in a box or bag and usually come with personalized touches, such as ribbon that is the same colour as the wedding colours.  With these popular items, you can add in a wedding only touch to the mix.  For instance, finding candy that has specialized sayings, such as saying 'just married' or 'Mr and Mrs' add into the entertainment of the favours. 

There is also the possibility of adding in wedding favours that move outside of the food category and into other specials that are a part of the thank you.  For instance, items such as foil hearts, indoor sparklers or other small items that add in an extra spark to the occasion may be one of the best options.  Knowing the best combination of items that can be used to add into the look of the wedding reception, while giving guests something to enjoy at each table helps to create the right atmosphere and memories.

Once you have decided on the combination of items to add into the wedding reception, then you want to make sure you customize the personal touch with the right wrapping.  Most will use small organza bags with specialized colours to let others know that they are offering the favour.  However, if you want the look to be more formal, then boxes with lids in various colours may add in a different look.  You can also consider favour boxes that are shaped with fun themes, such as teddy bears, tuxedos, hearts, pigs or even cats.  Depending on your personal style, you can add in the perfect touch with the wedding favour wrapping as well as items you are offering.

If you want a fun and simple way to say thank you to the guests who are attending your wedding and reception, then a simplistic approach is to add into the celebration with favours.  This offers a different and personalized touch to the wedding, while letting everyone enjoy something extra for the evening.  Determining the personalized options and finding simple solutions for favours is an easy way to make sure everyone enjoys the fine details of your wedding reception.
