5 Ways to use wedding favour boxes at your reception
Wedding favour boxes are more than just pretty packaging — they’re a thoughtful way to thank your guests and tie your entire wedding aesthetic together. Whether your theme is classic, modern, rustic, or romantic, a beautifully styled favour box can elevate your tablescape and add a memorable finishing touch to your big day.
Here are five elegant and creative ways to use favour boxes at your wedding reception:
1. Place Settings With Purpose
Favour boxes look stunning when placed directly on each guest’s plate as part of your tablescape. Choose a colour that complements your décor, add a ribbon or tag, and instantly transform your place settings into something picture-perfect.
2. Personalised Keepsakes for Guests
Adding names, initials, or a meaningful message turns favour boxes into keepsakes guests will actually want to take home. Personalised tags or belly bands are a simple touch that makes a big difference.
3. Displayed on a Themed Favour Table
If you prefer a more relaxed approach, arrange your favour boxes on a dedicated table near the entrance or exit. Add candles, florals, or signage to complete the display and create a charming focal point.
4. Sweet Treats That Match Your Style
Classic choices like chocolates, mints, and sugared almonds fit perfectly inside favour boxes — but you can also get creative. Mini cookies, wax melts, or small handmade items are lovely alternatives that make your wedding feel personal.
5. Part of a Colour-Coordinated Theme
If you’re using favour boxes in multiple shades, they can tie your theme together beautifully. Whether you’re mixing soft neutrals, pastel tones, or bold accents, colour-coordinated boxes help create a cohesive, polished look from start to finish.
Final Touches That Matter
It’s the small details that make your celebration truly feel like “you.”
Favour boxes add warmth, elegance, and intention to your wedding — and they’re an effortless way to leave a lasting impression on your guests.
