Traditionally, brides often give their wedding guests a little treat or wedding favour in exchange for a wedding present given to the happy couple as a wedding gift.
The marriage present can be a monetary contribution, a little gift for their new house together.Nowadays a new trend is to give to the happy couple’s honeymoon .Wedding favors do not need to be given to wedding guests.
The wedding favour idea though is a nice gesture but bear in mind it can also make a dent in your wedding budget. Don’t fret about coming up with new ideas.Don’t worry the favour idea is to keep things nice and simple.
If you are having a Scottish wedding theme, either held in Scotland or overseas, why not give a little inexpensive DIY wedding favor in the form of seeds. Perhaps Scottish flowers or bluebells, which when planted in your patio tubs will be visible reminder of the newly-weds new start together.
An old home made recipe of shortbread and tablet can be made by t he bride and her friends .A terrific way to display your Scottish DIY wedding favours is with tartan ribbons .Grooms can pick their tartan colors from ancestors surnames when picking on hiring their wedding kilts.
Newly-weds can also present a wedding favor box with a tartan string covering the box and secured in the centre .Or you can cover wedding favour boxes with tartan paper and secure with a tied tartan ribbon.Either will look fantastic as a do it yourself wedding favour box.
A thistle can be used along with a tartan ribbon to fasten on top of a wedding favour box.
Brides and grooms can give a flower in a plant pot as a wedding favor gift . This flower can not only be a wedding favour but a glorious table top decoration. You can choose a flower which is in your colour theme and brides can also chose a flower which is in season when your wedding day is planned.
This will cut down on the cost of the flowers. The flower need not be a Scottish Flower. If Scottish flowers are difficult to order then try and choose say a lilac and green colour to match the thistle or blue color to match the bluebells.
Any fresh flowers will look elegant on your wedding tables. The favour can be finished off with a clear wrapper around the flower for protection when guests need to transport the flower home at the end of the evening. Add a tartan ribbon around the plant pot. Another idea would be to add a little piece of Scotland by making your own miniature Scotland flag and placing inside the plant pot.
