Butterfly Personalised Wedding Favours - Wine Glass Charms

Wedding favours are small gifts given to the wedding guests by the bride and groom, usually during the wedding reception.

The tradition of giving wedding favours dates back hundreds of years. When sugar was expensive, sugar cubes in a small box often made of crystal - referred to as a bonbonniere - were given by aristocrats as a symbol of wealth. Over the years, the cost of sugar declined and the tradition evolved. The sugar cubes were replaced by sugared almonds and more commonly given.

Nowadays people give a wide range of token gifts as wedding favours. The type of wedding favour given is decided by the bride and groom and can represent the wedding theme or a family tradition.

Wine glass charm wedding favours are often given to symbolize the celebration of marriage by using them to decorate the Champagne flutes used to toast the bride and groom.

It has become increasingly popular to provide each guest with a personalised wedding favour, printed with the names of the bride and groom, the date of the wedding and perhaps even the name of the venue. These make the perfect keepsake for guests to remember the day by, and of course the charms can also be re-used to mark other special occasions.

There are a number of ways to distribute your personalised wedding favours amongst your guests. Often used as table decorations, they can be individually displayed at each place setting, by placing the wine glass charm pack inside the glass, or to the side of it, perhaps even incorporating the Wedding favour into the folded napkin.

Another alternative is to make a display in the centre of the table - perhaps by including them into a floral display. This way your guests can each help themselves to their own wedding favour.

Some couples prefer to distribute their wedding favours by hand. Often the bride gives her favours to the grooms family, and the groom gives his to the brides family. This is a great way of mingling with the guests, as well as introducing yourself to distant family members you may not have had the chance to meet before. A slight variation on this would be that the bride gives her wedding favours to the ladies and the groom gives his favours to the men.

Having a bridesmaid hand out your wedding favours at the start of the reception is also a great idea. After the bride and groom greet the guests a bridesmaid then hands out the favours from a decorative basket.

However you choose to hand out your wedding favours, you can be sure that these personalised wine glass charms will make truly unique keepsake and a talking point for years to come.
