When planning a wedding, every detail helps shape a day that guests will remember. Wedding favours play a part in this. These small gifts are traditionally given as a token of appreciation for attending the celebration, offering guests a keepsake that represents gratitude and shared memories.
The custom of giving wedding favours dates back centuries. What began as simple tokens of thanks has evolved into a cherished tradition, with couples today choosing meaningful items that reflect their personalities and values.
Why Seed Wedding Favours Are Growing in Popularity
In recent years, seed wedding favours have become a favourite choice for eco conscious couples. These gifts include a packet of seeds that guests can plant at home, creating a living reminder of your wedding day. As the flowers grow, they symbolise the love and new beginnings celebrated at your ceremony.
Seed favours stand out because they are:
- Eco friendly and biodegradable
- Meaningful, symbolising growth and love
- Affordable, ideal for weddings of all sizes
- Unique, offering something different from traditional chocolates or trinkets
