It
is fair to say that wedding favours do not rank
particularly high on the list of a bride's priorities.
Whilst it is common practice nowadays for couples
to give out favours as a token of thanks to their
guests, the lack of funds can be a hindrance at
times. Indeed, many leave it to the last minute
to see if there is any remaining budget that can
then be used for favours.
Identify these tokens early, even if you
are not certain that you may have the necessary
funds. By having a shortlist in hand, a quick
decision can be made when the funds become
available.
Having shortlisted the favours, pay a visit
to the respective vendors. See the products
up close and get a quote. Do also inquire
about the lead time required for the favours
to be produced.
To ensure there is minimal wastage, particularly
if the favours are perishable, an accurate
guest headcount is absolutely necessary.
Turn to close friends and relatives for
help. An aunt who loves baking could possibly
get some cookies done for you at a minimal
cost.
