Displaying and Presenting Your Wedding Bomboniere Favours

Wedding bomboniere, bridal shower favours and wedding favours can be just as much a part of the table decorations and overall look of the reception as flowers, settings, and linen. It is your way of saying thank you to each person attending your wedding or shower, so the presentation as well as the gift itself should reflect your intentions. Some thoughtful touches and creativity can speak volumes.  Here are some great ideas on displaying and presenting your wedding bomboniere and favours from Australia's wedding shop, Pink Frosting.

• Beautiful favour packaging such as wedding favour boxes, personalised ribbon and custom labels, as well as taking the time to carefully fold and clean your favours will make your favours look much more valuable.  A little extra effort will speak volumes when displaying your favours.
• Personalise it. Giving wedding favors is a gesture of thanks, and mostly it is the thought that counts. Make wedding favours more personal by engraving, using personalised ribbon, or printing your names and wedding date, or a unique message. Hand printing gives it an added personal touch, but if you do not have the best handwriting, many people hire professional calligraphers to pen a message on their wedding favors, or favors packaging.
• Let your wedding favours also be functional. Attach a tag with the guests' names, and their table numbers to the wedding favors, and set them out on a table near the entrance to double as escort cards.
• Tie a hang tag to the wedding favours with your new monogram, or the date of the wedding. Tags can be any shape, size, or colour, and are another great way to get creative. Make them yourself for that personal touch.
• A popular idea is to have cake-like favour centrepieces, where the centrepiece is made up of several elements that come apart, each part able to be taken home by guests as wedding favours. Breakaway centerpieces are often an arrangement of flowers in several smaller vases. You can do this with packaged wedding favors, stacking the boxes in the middle and inviting guests to each take a favor before heading home.  See more about how to make a bomboniere cake centrepiece at Australia Entertains.
• Save space on the table for the food, and instead, hang wedding favours from the chair. This is a creative way to present your wedding favors, and also dress up the reception chairs. Use a bag with handles to package the wedding favors, or find a way to attach ribbon to the wedding favors in order to hang it on a chair.   We just love how Real Weddings Magazine achieved this look with our Pink Rose Ball Candle favours.
• Have a wedding favours tree. This idea works really well with Christmas weddings. Give mini classic silver place frames as wedding bomboniere, or something lightweight, like a bookmark, or a charm. If a Christmas tree is out of season, get a potted tree. Make your own wedding favors with bomboniere bags filled with candy. Punch holes in the bags and string them up with twine around the branches of a tree. Wedding guests can untie the bags at the end of the evening for a sweet memento.
• Pile wedding favours in baskets set by the door with a note reminding guests to take one before departing. 
• Give the kids something helpful to do at the wedding reception. Ask them to walk around with baskets of wedding favors and pass one out to each wedding guest. Make sure they make it to each table and do not leave anyone out.
• Candles make classy wedding favors and are a brilliant approach to lighting for the wedding reception. They are romantic, decorative, and cost effective. With the a huge selection of sizes, styles, colours, designs, and scents, you can fit candles in with just about any wedding decoration theme. Match candles, or candle holders to your wedding reception colours.  You can also use candles instead of flowers for the centerpiece. Try a cluster of chunky candles in varying heights.
• Make your favours work overtime by using your wedding place card holders to help make your wedding table decorations and settings even more beautiful than you imagined! Your wedding guests will love them so much, you may never get them back!
