Wedding favour boxes are a great way to thank guests for attending your wedding and give them something to take home to remember your special day. There are lots of options when it comes to wedding favour boxes, and one of these is a personalised favour box. In this article, we look at some ideas and tips for creating the perfect personalised wedding favour boxes.

Create a base box

Personalising every single element of each of your wedding favour boxes is a huge task and something that’s not achievable by most people. To get around this, you can create a base box or a few base box options. This will include items that everyone will enjoy receiving; you can add any extras or personalisation afterwards to make the box extra special. You may have two versions depending on your guest dynamics; for example, if alcohol is part of the theme, you may have an alcoholic base box and a base box for those that don’t drink. This box should look great on its own without needing to be personalised. If you run out of time or have any last-minute guests, they can receive the base box as their wedding favour.

Create personalised items

To make a personalised wedding favour box extra special, it needs to include personalised items for each of your guests. The simplest way to personalise a wedding favour box is to add a personal message to each guest, including their name, and a personal thank you to them as an individual. For example, you might thank your mother for all of the support over the years and for helping you find the perfect wedding dress. These personal notes to each guest can be time-consuming, but they will be greatly appreciated when they open their wedding favours. Another fun way to personalise each wedding favour box is to include the guest’s favourite celebration chocolate; this could be asked as part of the wedding RSVP process and is a fun way to make each guest smile. If you want to add more luxury to your wedding favours, you could choose personalised jewellery items for each guest, using the initial of their name. It's completely up to you how far you want to go with the personalisation you add to your wedding favour boxes; there are lots of options available.

Set a budget 

Before getting carried away with creating bespoke personalised wedding favour boxes for each individual guest, consider your budget. Adding personalised gifts can be expensive, increasing the cost of each favour considerably. You don’t want to blow all of your wedding budgets on the gifts for your guests as there are many other elements that need to be paid for, including food, venue, entertainment, flowers, decorations and much more. It's sensible to divide your overall budget into sections so that each element has its own budget. This will give you a clearer idea of how much you can spend on each wedding favour and how personalisation can fit into this budget.

Consider your time and effort

One way to save time and effort is to choose photo boxes as your wedding favors. Photo boxes are a simple and elegant way to thank your guests for celebrating your special day. You can fill the boxes with your favorite photos, or you can even have your guests add their own photos to the box. Photo boxes are a thoughtful and unique way to show your guests how much you appreciate them.

Weddings are a day to remember and a great way to share and make new memories with family and friends. Wedding favour boxes form part of these memories; they can be a great reminder of the day and the love you share together as family and friends. Take the time to plan out your wedding favour boxes, thinking about all of your guests and a style that suits your wedding day.
