DIY Wedding Favours - Pure Favours

Wedding favor boxes

The giving of a small gift to each guest at a wedding was a custom that first started many centuries ago. Whatever the original significance of the items given in the various cultures that adopted this custom, nowadays they are a small sign of the bride and groom’s gratitude and there are many different types from which to choose. The presents are often placed in decorative boxes which can either be bought readymade or supplied flat packed for people who prefer to assemble and decorate them personally. Confectionary is still a popular gift to fill the boxes with and we have a wide range of delicious products such as mini chocolate champagne bottles and sugared almonds that are sure to delight your guests. Apart from filled boxes there are many other types of gifts that can be found on our website. Candles are a popular choice as are items like crystal key rings and wine stoppers. As there are often a large number of guests at modern weddings we have made sure that all of our products are affordable whilst being of sufficiently good quality so that our wedding favors will add a touch of class to your special day.

Try before you buy

We understand that people want everything to be perfect on their wedding day and are therefore happy for you to order any of our products singly so that they can be inspected in the comfort of your own home before making a final decision and ordering a whole batch. If you are still not completely satisfied with the goods when you receive the whole order we will be happy to provide you with a refund as long as they are returned within 14 days. Although, like any other company, we are in business to make a profit, the nature of our products means that we are especially keen for our customers to get exactly what they want. For items such as personalised stationery we are obviously unable to give a refund for these unless they are faulty. Each product featured on our site has a clear photograph with a zoom control underneath, so it is possible to get an excellent idea of what they look like before ordering. We have sourced the best items that we can for all guests and for childrens wedding favours UK customers can find the very best chocolate gifts available in our extensive online selection.

Catering for both sexes

Although it is possible to choose gifts that will be suitable for both male and female guests it is often a better idea to have a different type for each sex. A man may not appreciate a box with a pink bow and sugared almonds for example, whereas a multipurpose stainless steel bar tool will probably be much more to their liking. On our website you can find a range of gifts for both men and women that have all been especially selected to appeal to the widest range of guests possible. Compact mirrors in various attractive designs have proven to be very popular with female wedding guests and decorative tins in which to store small keepsakes are another favourite choice for the ladies. If you do decide to choose a unisex gift then crystal paperweights are something that both men and women will find useful as well as visually appealing. Whichever way you decide to go, because of our competitive prices you will be able to find cheap wedding favours for men and ideas such as an attractive candle for women that will not break the bank. It is nice to express gratitude but a wedding involves many expenses.

Decorating the tables

In addition to leaving a small present on the tables for each guest there are such things as place card holders and table crystals that can make all the difference to the visual impact of your wedding breakfast. The crystals can be scattered artfully around the table and the card holders used to display the name of each guest sitting at the table. As with all our other products, despite the high quality of these items, they are all priced to be affordable for couples with varying amounts of money available for their wedding. Some of the table decorations can double up as gifts for the guests such as place card holders that come with an attractive frosted glass holder. Many couples also like to decorate their tables with petals but these are usually easier to obtain from a local florist to ensure they are fresh on the day. If you have decided it would be nice to fill your own wedding favour bags with personalised gifts then a sprinkling of petals inside will produce a wonderful fragrance when the bags are opened. However you decide to decorate the tables it is important to coordinate your efforts with your florist.

The personal touch

For couples that have the time and inclination it is a nice thought to create your own gifts for guests and we can supply a range of items to help you make something special. The flat packed boxes mentioned earlier can be assembled, decorated to your own taste and then filled with an assortment of items from our site. Apart from confectionary we have many other fillers that your guests will be delighted to receive. Bath bombs are popular with both sexes although many men may not admit to this! Mini pails are an alternative to boxes or bags and look great when placed on tables. In common with boxes they can be filled with whatever you wish and afterwards the guests can use them to keep small trinkets in at home. These are fine for women who are more likely to have small items to keep in a pail but perhaps silver wedding favours for men could be bought as well, to create a unique choice of gifts that will be more unusual than the normal fare to be found at weddings. The only limit to what you can do is your imagination really, so let it run wild.

Getting organised

There are so many things to think about when arranging a big wedding so it is important to be as organised as possible to avoid any disasters. With regard to the gifts you are going to be presenting to your guests we are usually able to deliver them to your door 2-4 days after receiving your order. Items that are personalised such as stationery will take a little longer, usually about a week. Because it is such an important day in your life we would recommend placing orders well before they are needed just in case anything goes wrong. There may be the odd occasion where something that you want is not currently in stock in which case a little extra time may be needed to source it for you. Whether you are ordering a large quantity of wedding favor boxes or a small number of butterfly bookmarks, if anything does go wrong then at least there will be enough time to rectify the problem if you place your order well in advance. We do our very best to make sure everything we despatch is in excellent condition and arrives promptly but it is better to be safe than sorry.
