favour boxes

Wedding favours are a grown up party bag, a token of thanks from the happy couple.
Traditionally they were filled with five sugared almonds, to represent health, happiness, fertility, long life and wealth, and given only to the ladies at the celebration. These days just about anything goes and many couples choose to give all their guests a token gift to say 'thanks for sharing our day'!

Some of our designs, such as simply satin and simply chiffon can have tags attached so that the boxes double up as place cards.

Fill yours with all kinds of confectionery, chocolates or retro sweets. Perhaps small gifts or toys for your younger guests. The list goes on and on, which is why we supply our boxes empty as standard so that you can choose!  For an alternative to boxes, why not take a look at our Lottery Ticket Wallets.

information and etiquette - wedding invitations

It is usual to send out invitations 6 to 12 weeks before the wedding. If you are getting married at a busy time of year, such as a bank holiday, at Christmas or during the summer holiday season you may want to send them out earlier than this to allow your guests to plan.  Or consider sending Save the Date cards a year or more in advance.

pocketfold invitation (inside)

classic folded invitation

A pocketfold or classic folded card is generally more suitable due to the amount of text and information required. It can also be useful to include a pre-addressed RSVP card (included as standard with all pocketfolds) to help ensure prompt replies!


The wording will depend on the formality of the occasion and who is inviting. You may or may not want to have space for your guests names to be written or printed.  We have some example wordings on our website HERE.

If children are invited, make this clear by including their names on their parents' invitation. Parents should assume that the invitation is for them alone if their children's names are not specified, but some couples like to include a note along the lines of 'we are sorry but we are unable to accommodate children' so that there is no room for confusion.

It is usual to send invitations to close family and the bridal party, consider also sending to friends or family who you may know can't make it, but would appreciate an invitation as a keepsake.

You will need one invitation per person, couple or family. It is advisable to order a few extras in case of errors or last minute changes to the guest list, and don't forget one for your keepsake box!

save the date

Save the date cards can be sent out as soon as you have booked the big day, often a year or more in advance! 


Especially useful if you are getting married in the height of the holiday season. Just make sure that whoever you send them to makes it on to your final guest list.
