Planning Your Wedding? Here's the Truth About Wedding Favours



If you've started planning your wedding, you've probably wondered whether wedding favours are still expected.
The honest answer is... not really.
Years ago, favours were considered an essential part of almost every wedding. Today, couples are planning their day a little differently. Rather than including favours because they're expected, many are choosing them only if they genuinely add something to the celebration and fit comfortably within the budget.
In other words, wedding favours have gone from being a tradition to being an optional extra.
If you do decide to include favours, it's worth choosing something guests will actually enjoy. One piece of advice you'll hear time and time again is this: if you don't want your favours left behind on the tables, make them edible.
One of the lovely things about personalised chocolate coins is that they can be made to fit your wedding perfectly.
Whether your invitations are soft florals, modern and minimal or full of greenery, your favours can be designed to match. We can include your names, wedding date, initials or even work with the style of your stationery so everything ties together beautifully.
It's those little details that guests notice.
Why chocolate coins?
I'll admit I'm a little biased, but I think chocolate coins are such a lovely wedding favour.
They're something a little different, they're affordable, and because they're made to match your day perfectly, they look beautiful laid out on each place setting.
More importantly... people actually eat them!
If you've ever been to a wedding, you'll know how many favours get left behind at the end of the night. Chocolate is one of those rare gifts that almost everyone enjoys, so there's a much better chance your guests will take them home - or more likely, enjoy them before the dancing even starts!
Not just chocolate coins
If you'd like to carry the same design throughout your day, you don't have to stop at coins.
Many couples choose matching chocolate bars, love-heart sweets or a mix of treats using the same design. It creates a lovely coordinated look without feeling over the top.
Wedding favours might not be the must-have they once were, but they're still a lovely way to say thank you to the people who've come to celebrate with you.
If you don't want your favours left sitting on the tables at the end of the night, make them edible!
Whether it's personalised chocolate coins, chocolate bars or matching sweet treats, each order is made to suit your wedding, so your favours feel just as special as the rest of your day.
