Wedding Favours and Wedding Thank You Gifts
A Unique Touch from John Fox Wedding Photography
Wedding favours and thank you gifts are time-honoured traditions, offering couples a way to express gratitude to their guests for sharing in their special day. Historically, these tokens have evolved from simple sugared almonds to more personalised and memorable keepsakes.
A Brief History of Wedding Favours
The tradition of giving wedding favours dates back centuries. Early Romans presented guests with honey-coated almonds, symbolising the bittersweet nature of marriage. By the 15th century, European aristocrats gifted “bonbonnieres,” ornate boxes filled with confections, showcasing wealth and appreciation. Over time, sugared almonds became popular, representing health, wealth, joy, fertility and long life.
Modern Takes on Wedding Favours
While traditional favours like sugared almonds have waned in popularity, couples now seek unique and meaningful gifts for their guests. Common choices include lottery tickets and miniature bottles of spirits. However, these items often lack a personal connection and are quickly forgotten. Contemporary trends emphasise thoughtful and practical gifts that reflect the couple’s personality and enhance the guest experience.

At John Fox Wedding Photography, we offer a distinctive alternative to conventional wedding favours and thank you gifts. We produce miniature copies of your wedding album, providing guests with a tangible keepsake filled with cherished memories from your special day. The quality of these miniature albums is beautiful as they are produced by the same company as your main album – Graphistudio in Italy. Each wedding photography package includes 15 of these personalised albums, with the option to upgrade the quantity to ensure all guests receive this unique memento.
