How to Choose Easter Themed Wedding Favours

Firstly, you should think about ways in which you can bring the spring into your wedding theme. Think of seasonal flowers such as daffodils, lily of the valley, tulips, snowdrops and pansies. A great way to style floral arrangements is in cute Easter baskets or in egg cups. Scatter tables with spring petals and use fresh seasonal blooms in button holes and on top of your wedding cake.

If you want to keep your wedding theme a floral one, then your Easter wedding favours should come in the form of Lily of the Valley personalised tea bags or favours boxes matching your flower of choice. In other words, if you are having pansy arrangements, team the deep purple tones with purple square favour boxes and lemon yellow square favour boxes. These will have a striking appeal at place settings. Alternatively, tulips are a typical spring bloom and these can inject some colour to your floral arrangements. Tie the tulip theme into your favours by giving guests tulip mini gift bags filled with confectionery of your choice. Equally, if your flower of choice is going to be daffodils, present guests with yellow, orange or green favour boxes and finish them with daffodil head toppers. Due to the sturdy nature of daffodil stems, this bloom is an ideal choice for tying to napkins with coordinating ribbon.

You can easily get stylish Easter wedding favours is by using the Easter egg as your theme. Fill cute raffia birds' nests with yummy mini Chocolate Eggs as the ideal favour, guaranteed to impress even the most discerning of guests! Top hat favour boxes are a great idea too and once tied with seasonal spring coloured ribbons take on the appearance of the Easter bonnet. Shop bought Easter eggs also make great guest favours; simply present each guest with a shop bought Easter egg and finish it with some bright yellow organza ribbon and a handwritten 'Happy Easter' tag! The Easter egg theme can be continued with your place settings with a blown egg shell hand-painted with the guests' names. This is a cost effective option and although it takes a little time, guests will really appreciate the personal touch of such an idea.

Stuck for kids' favours? An ideal favour for the little ones would be a favour box featuring a chick, bunny or lamb. These can be filled with anything seasonal although Easter eggs of some form will usually go down well with younger guests. Alternatively, mini Easter cupcakes and miniature simnel cakes are a great enclosure for a co-ordinating favour box. You could present these to younger guests in ribbon clad Easter baskets passed round by your bridesmaids.

Finish the Easter feel of your tables with yellow gingham table linen, inviting guests to go on an Easter egg hunt and ensuring table centrepieces feature seasonal blooms and eggs!

How to Choose the Best Chocolate Egg For Easter

Easter means different things to different people. But there is no doubt that for many of us, it is the sight of chocolate eggs that really gets our attention!

But how do you know which one to buy? After all, there are so many different ones to choose from that it can be rather overwhelming to figure out which Easter egg to go for. The best way to make sure you get it just right is to start with who you are buying the egg for. Is it for a young child, or an adult? Is it merely a token present or will it be something special?

If you are buying a chocolate egg for a child, you will probably want to focus your attention on smaller eggs. Some are designed specifically for children and they may have other benefits to them as well. For example, some might have a game or mask - to colour in or cut out - from the back of the box.

You can often purchase children's eggs that come with other items too, such as a mug, for example. These are good because they mean the child will get to keep something long after the chocolate has been eaten - just make sure the age of the child is well matched to what you are buying.

But supposing you are buying an egg for an adult? There is a much wider selection available for adults, and some of them are based around chocolate bars that you will no doubt already be familiar with. What you could do is find out what bar the recipient likes the most, and then buy a chocolate egg which comes complete with those bars.

But of course, the most important purchase will be for your partner. This is when it is worth spending that little bit more money - some eggs might be handmade or hand finished, while others are extremely large and could last through to the summer!

Always make sure you know what your partner will appreciate though. For example, if they are passionate about a particular type of chocolate, the largest available egg in that style will be very well received. If you are stuck for ideas you could always start dropping hints ahead of time. You could also take your partner shopping and see whether they spot any eggs they particularly like the look of.

If you're really stuck then the best course of action might be to buy a range of smaller Easter eggs and wrap them all up together in a large gift basket. Either way, you will not be short of options when selecting the perfect Easter egg - if anything, you are spoilt for choice!
