Our tips: Find the perfect wedding gifts and favours

Meet some of the top wedding gifts and favours companies in South Africa 

Guest favours are both a lovely gesture and a momento, if your budget allows for it. It is a great way to thank guests for sharing in this big event with you and your partner. There are tons of ideas out there, and some have become a tad overdone, so pick something that represents you as a couple as well as an item that won’t just sit in the back of your guests’ cupboards.

A thank you gift for your wedding party is not a must, but a kind gesture. Afterall, your bridesmaids offered you support and arranged your bridal shower and bachelorette, probably footing a lot of the bill. Perhaps a personalised bathrobe, scented candles; anything to pamper them and make them feel feminine and beautiful. Don’t forget about the groomsmen, consider a whisky tumbler, a sleek pocket flask – essentially anything to aid in unwinding them after all the support.

Some couples may opt for a gift registry. This mostly ensures that your loved ones don’t purchase duplicate gifts, or you and your partner could end up with 10 sheet sets or 5 French presses. You can create an in-store registry or an online one, and your wedding website would be the acceptable place to display it. Think home decor or kitchenware to set you and your partner up for your life together. Providing a price range that your guests can choose from according to their pockets.
