Traditionally, brides often give their wedding guests a little treat or wedding favour in exchange for a wedding present given to the happy couple as a wedding gift.

Money can be given as a wedding present for their new life with each other.In today’s society , you are being asked to contribute to the newly-weds honeymoon.Wedding favours do not need to be given to wedding guests.

Wedding favors are lovely but can be expensive presents to give to your wedding guests.Try and not worry about coming up with unique ideas.Brides try and keep the favor idea plain.

If you are having a Scottish wedding theme, either held in Scotland or overseas, why not give a little inexpensive DIY wedding favor in the form of seeds. Perhaps flowers or bluebells, which when grown in your window box will be a constant reminder of the happy couple’s new life together.

Brides can try and make their own various of shortbread and tablet handed down by generations before them.Try to think of a simple way of displaying the Scottish DIY wedding favors with maybe a small amount of tartan bow to finish off the favour .Grooms can choose their tartan colours from ancient surnames when deciding on buying their wedding kilts.

Newly-weds can also give a wedding favour box with a tartan bow surrounding the box and tied in the outside. favour boxes can be wrapped with tartan wrapping and completed by tying a tartan ribbon around the centre .Either will look fabulous as a DIY wedding favor box.

A thistle can be used along with a tartan ribbon to secure on top of a wedding favour box.

Brides and grooms can give a flower in a plant pot as a wedding favor gift . This flower can not only be a wedding favour but a glorious table top decoration. You can choose a flower which is in your colour theme and brides can also chose a flower which is in season when your wedding day is planned.

This will cut down on the cost of the flowers. The flower need not be a Scottish Flower. If Scottish flowers are difficult to order then try and choose say a lilac and green colour to match the thistle or blue color to match the bluebells.

Any fresh flowers will look elegant on your wedding tables. The favour can be finished off with a clear wrapper around the flower for protection when guests need to transport the flower home at the end of the evening. Add a tartan ribbon around the plant pot. Another idea would be to add a little piece of Scotland by making  your own miniature Scotland flag and placing inside the plant pot.
