Some Good Ideas For Personalized Wedding Gifts

By Eloise Sandoval


Personalized wedding gifts are sometimes referred to as wedding favours. They are presents that are presented to the guests for attending the reception event. They signify a token of appreciation on behalf of the bride and groom and also their family too. They usually incorporate some type of personalization referring to the newlyweds.

The wedding favour tradition is thought to have originated in Europe at sometime during the 17th century. After sugar became widely available it grew extremely fashionable to present confectionery to guests. Before that, items of food were offered. However, personalization had not yet become the norm.

Today, the sharing of presents by the happy couple to their guests is practiced almost the world over. Indeed, such souvenirs are not just shared at weddings but at all manner of celebrations including milestone birthdays and even funerals. The items vary greatly in value with some costing just a few cents like a badge to be pinned on or bespoke porcelain crockery amounting to thousands of dollars per event.

If you are arranging a wedding there are so many ideas to choose from. Confectionery still works as well today as it did a few hundred years ago. Sugar inscribed chocolates are a particularly nice idea. The presentation box can be inlaid with a commemorative photo of the couple.

China ware is also a very lovely souvenir idea. They lend class to any event. Tea cups in presentation boxes are always well received. Photos on the cups look nice. You can have china or ceramic ware made for you especially. Check the internet for providers of bespoke china.

Personalized wedding gifts do not have to be too expensive however to be classy. You can have items made of plastic even that are nice including bowls and kitchen utensils. Paper items like calendars are also very nice.
