Weddings and special occasions are a busy time for the bride and groom or host, with hundreds of things to organise and never enough time to do them. Why not make things easier by allowing Your Day Your Say to hand make all your wedding favours for you. All you have to do is pop them on the tables on the day, something else that can be taken care of by Your Day Your Say.

Bonboniere" or "favours" are the traditional "keepsakes" given to guests at a wedding or occasion, in appreciation of their attendance. Keepsakes can be incorporated on the table setting or distributed from a decorated basket during the celebration.

The tradition of giving your guests something to remember the day in the form of favours has been around for hundreds of years. Today, the tradition has evolved to giving each guest five sugar coated almonds to symbolise health, wealth, fertility, happiness and long-life. The almond with their bitterness totally covered with sugar, symbolise the "bitter/sweet" life of a married couple.

However, during the late 19th century at high society weddings, guests could expect to receive favours such as scarves, garters and gloves. Nowadays with the many different arrays of colour, styles and shapes of favours, you can almost have what your hearts desire when it comes to appreciating your guest on your special day.

Your chosen design may be co-ordinated with your wedding colours which can also be personalised and filled with sugared almonds, dinner mints, mints or chocolate dragees.
