Untraditional wedding favours.


I remember a time when the tents were multicoloured and the wedding favours came in little plastic bags with 2 dates, 2 white popcorn looking sweets, shahi supari and perhaps a candy if you're lucky. Those were days when weddings were not a preview of a bollywood latka jhatkas. Good old mein ne tumhari ghangar se days.

Today, the tents are more muted, dances well choreographed (God forbid somebody messes up) and wedding favours a way to say 'we've got style'. so the question really is how do you stand out when everyone is pulling the same stunt?

Here are a few ideas:

Take little bottles or glass jars and fill them up with chocolate balls/candies/m&m's with a little thank you note. It will not only standout in idea but also personalize the token.










Sometimes it about the shape and not the content. Seeing something unexpected always gets people excited and talking - not to mention copying. Be the inspiration.











Get out of the cloth and into the box. Yes, this is one instance where thinking inside the box can actually lead to being different.












Or you could be complete different and trendsetting. You've heard of juice bars at wedding, right? Set up your own wedding favour bar! Yes, I said wedding favour bar. Sure the idea sounds a bit out there but it will make the boring tradition of handing out little net bags interactive and fun! Put an assortment of candies and a server of the side with empty pouches.





These are a few ideas, but there are many more that can set you apart and give your special day a special ending. After all, small things make a big difference.
