This is our DIY favours department, we have a range of favours from favour boxes and favour bags to organza pouches and the wedding favours themselves.
Finding the perfect box to hold your wedding favours can be tricky - we have a range of favour boxes in different sizes and finishes to suit all kinds of favours.
Many of our beautiful favour boxes are manufactured in Italy from the finest boards, and require no glue or tape to assemble. We also have favour boxes made especially for The Handcrafted Card Company in boards to compliment our ranges of greeting card blanks.
Once you have chosen your style of favour then browse our craft embellishments and ribbons department for all the accessories you need to decorate your favours.
Our favour boxes are also suitable for men and Christening Favours as well as Wedding Favours.
Wedding favours are a custom going back some time. Traditionally wedding favours are small gifts given to guests as a token of appreciation from the Bride and Groom on their Wedding Day - they are often part of the table decorations or usually given out at the Wedding Reception.
The first wedding favour was the 'Bomboniere'- a small trinket box made of porcelain or crystal and often decorated with precious stones.
It was thought that they were only given by the European Aristocracy and Upper Classes, and usually contained sugar or confectionery to symbolise wealth and royalty. Sugar which was an expensive delicacy, was only afforded by the wealthy but as it became more widely the tradition of giving Bomboniere became more widespread.
Gradually bomboniere were replaced with almonds - given to guests to signify good wishes for the couple's new life together: 5 almonds to signify Health, Wealth, Happiness, Fertility and Long Life. In the 13th Century sugar coated almonds, or Confetti, were introduced, which are still popular today.
