How to ask for one favour per couple

Asking for one wedding favour per couple is a great way to save on costs, especially if you're giving out expensive gifts. Here are some tips and suggestions on how to communicate this to your guests:

Use Clear and Direct Wording

Be clear and direct with your guests by using wording such as:

  • "To ensure there are enough for everyone, please take one favour per couple or single guest."
  • "One favour per family, please."
  • "Please take one per invitation."

Add a Rhyme

A playful rhyme can make your request more fun and memorable. For example:

  • "We're so glad you could be here to watch us unite. Please take this small gift to remember the night. To assure there's enough thanks all around, please take one candle per invite and get home safe and sound."
  • "We're so grateful you could be here on our special day, we'd like to say thank you in our own little way. So please take a candle per couple with our deep appreciation, for the love you've all given us and for sharing our elation!"
  • "Please take one per invitation, from us to show our appreciation, for sharing in this celebration, so whether you're a couple or a single guest, please take one and leave the rest, thank you for coming and enjoy the fest!"

Include a Personalised Note

Adding a personalised note or thank-you message can make your request more heartfelt. For example:

  • "Thank you for making today the joy that it was. From [one partner's name] and [other partner's name]."
  • "Grateful doesn't even come close. Thanks for your love, always."
  • "We're so thankful for your love and support on our special day."

Display the Favours Strategically

Place the favours on a dedicated table with a sign that clearly states your request. Alternatively, have someone hand them out to guests as they leave, ensuring they only give one per couple.

Use Escort Cards or Labels

If you're comfortable with the idea, you can use escort cards or labels with the couple's names and table number attached to the favours. This helps ensure that each couple only takes one favour.

Remember, it's perfectly acceptable to give one favour per couple or family. By using clear and considerate communication, your guests will understand and appreciate your request.

Frequently asked questions
