I’m often asked this question by couples…should we give our guests Favours, little presents of thank you. The answer is really a simple one – it is entirely your choice. Some couples do, some don’t. Others tell people that instead of giving a little present, they are donating some money on behalf of each guest to a specific charity. This is a lovely idea and some guests may consider this to be a better spend of money.
However, if you are hoping to buy a present for your guests. Here are some ideas….
