Introduction

A wedding is a once in a lifetime opportunity(hopefully) to celebrate your love with all your loved ones. Wouldn’t you want every detail to be picture perfect? From flowers to the wedding decorations and not forgetting the wedding favours – every element contributes to creating unforgettable memories.

In this guide, we’ll explore everything you need to know about personalized wedding favours, why they are a must-have, and how the moonbeam co. can help you make your special day even more special.

What are wedding favours and who are they for?

According to Peppermint Press, wedding favors are small, thoughtful thank you gifts that couples give to guests on their big day. They symbolise gratitude and leave guests with a tangible memory of your special day.

Let’s journey back to the 16th century, where the tradition of wedding favours began. Originating with French aristocrats, these small gifts, called Bonbonnières, were given as tokens of good luck. In Greece, couples would offer their guests five sugared almonds to represent fertility, longevity, wealth, health and happiness.

Today, wedding favours remain a heartfelt way to thank your guests for celebrating with you. Wedding favours can even be tailored to suit different types of guests—family, friends, and even children, ensuring that everyone feels appreciated.

And it’s not just tradition; gifting has proven benefits. According to the Psychology Today, giving fosters personal joy and improves overall well-being. So, in sharing a thoughtful favour, you’re spreading positivity while strengthening bonds with your loved ones.
