Bomboniere Makes Memories Last

What is it people remember about a wedding? The dress, the flowers, the colours of the wedding party… the music, the food, and the ceremony are obvious contenders.

But what makes your wedding something guests fondly talk about years later? What makes all the single ladies oooh and aahh then mentally add it to their own wedding ‘must do’ list?

It’s the little things.

We’re talking about the small touches that delight your guests and make each one feel like a cherished and joyful inclusion in not only your day, but your life together.

That‘s where bomboniere takes centre stage and creates a lasting impression.

Bomboniere (also spelled bonboniere and bonbonniere by some) is the easiest and most delightful way to make each guest feel special and valued.

What is bomboniere? The word itself is Italian (you’ve gotta love those romantic Italians) and in wedding terms means providing a favour or special keepsake for each guest.

Bomboniere can take many forms. Treats presented in dainty boxes, stylish candle holders, eye catching place card holders, chocolate hearts wrapped in tulle .... The aim is to provide your guests with a small yet touching reminder of how cherished they are.

You might think paying for enough items to give every guest a wedding favour is an expensive proposition? Not so.

Always make sure you have the organisation of your bomboniere timetabled on your wedding planner. Begin looking around and making enquiries at least 4 months before the big day, and order your bomboniere 6 to 8 weeks out.

If you’re writing the guests’ names and attaching them to each favour yourself, make sure you don’t leave this extra work until the last minute.

To save the hassle and stress of attaching and writing names yourself, you can buy bomboniere that’s already beautifully presented complete with your guests’ names attached, or favours like sugared almonds and jellybeans prepackaged in individual boxes and printed with a personalised message.

Look at these popular silver tealight holders with red or blue hearts inside 5cm square transparent boxes for example. They come double tied with ribbons in your choice of colours, and your guests’ names all individually attached. All you need to do is place them on the tables!

Or how about these delightful miniature port bottles from Brewery Hill Estates? Each 50ml bottle comes complete with your own personalised label! You can choose from a range of text and design options to give your guests a lasting and unique reminder of your very special day.

When people think back on your wedding it’s the amazing details they’ll remember and admire, and bomboniere holds the key.

So go write it on your list of things to do now!
