Wedding favours 'can be small trinkets or charitable donations'

Wedding favours can be a great way for couples to thank their friends and family for coming to their nuptials and also provide them with a small parting gift as a memory of the occasion.

These only need to be small trinkets and one website has offered some tips on the perfect items.

The Savvy Scoop blog suggests small chocolaty treats made from organic or fair trade products, as these are delicious as well as being kind to the environment.

Furthermore, they are often "almost too pretty to eat" and come in decorative boxes.

If newlyweds are feeling particularly charitable, another idea for wedding favours could be to make a donation to a worthy cause on behalf of all the guests, as this will leave them with "a warm fuzzy feeling instead of a trinket".

Earlier this month, Stuff.co.nz reported that more and more people are breaking with tradition when it comes to wedding gifts and asking for money towards their honeymoon or house repairs.
