4 Reasons Your Wedding Favour Chocolates Is not What It Ought to be

One honest note that applies everywhere. If the recipient asks about ingredients or dietary detail, point them to the published product information rather than answering yourself.

If you want to lift it further, a personalised message or his name on the box turns a generic present into one addressed to him. Keep the message short and let the collection do the talking. Allow a little extra time for personalised print, and more in the run-up to Christmas when orders stack up.

A share bag suits the thank you aimed at a group. A team that pulled together on a deadline, a committee that ran an event, a class of colleagues who chipped in: one bag passed around thanks everyone at once and avoids the awkwardness of singling people out. It is generous in spirit and sensible in cost.

Placement is part of the styling, not an afterthought. A favour usually sits on the side plate, on the napkin, lilyobriens.ie or just above the setting alongside the place card. Keep it consistent down the whole table, because an even line reads as considered while a scattered one looks rushed. If the box carries a printed name or date, angle it so guests see it as they sit.

Used well, a personalised box says you thought about the person, not just the occasion. For most givers, that is exactly the impression worth making.

Get the count right with a sensible buffer, place each favour consistently, and order well ahead of the day. The etiquette looks after itself once the logistics do.
