Edible Wedding Favours
If you don't want your guests to be fretting over what to do with your gift, food is the way to go. It's especially nice when you're inviting lots of families over, and we're sure that the kids will appreciate it. Furthermore, you can add a personal touch by stamping your guests' name on the food or packaging.
Some of our favourite edible favours include personalized cookies, cakes in a jar, and DIY jams. That's right, if you're trying to save on the favours, you can always bake your own, and chances are your guests will appreciate the effort. Or else, check out Sticky's customizable candies or Kita Event's yummy snacks.

Kitchenware Wedding Favours
Since most of us cook on a daily basis, kitchenware favours can be some of the most useful and lasting. Besides, your guests would be reminded of your big day when they use those salt and pepper shakers!
For great ideas, do check out Wedding Emporium or SG Wedding Favours. Be it a pizza cutter or tea infuser, these people make their favours adorable. However, do note that as you cannot DIY these favours, they can be rather pricey.

Barware Wedding Favour
Oh glorious drinks. Admit it or not, all of us indulge in the occasional nightcap or after work drink. And if you love your alcohol, why not commerate this important day with some beautifully designed bottle openers? They're sure to come in handy for your guests as well.
SG Wedding Favours has many designs ranging from nautical-themed to beach-inspired, so do pop by their site for a look. We don't know about you, but we sure adore these nifty barwares.

Bath & Candle Wedding Favours
If you're looking to project class without breaking your bank, these gorgeous favours are the way to go. Not only do they smell heavenly, your guests will be able to put them into good use as well.
The team at W for Weddings have put together some great offerings, and we love their Chinese 'double happiness' candles which are a perfect blend of traditional and chic. Also, don't forget to check out their maple leaves soap bar!

Stationery Wedding Favours
Think school when you see stationery? Well there's no reason you should because unlike school, stationery is interesting. Pick something charming, and your guests will happily add it to their office collection.
Choose to personalize your stationery by buying it in bulk and adding embellishments, or simply head over to SG Wedding Favours for some beautiful bookmarks and photo frames.

Creative Wedding Invitations
Who says your big day must be all pomp and circumstance? In this day and age, more couples are choosing to have a little bit of fun with their weddings, so do consider these stylish invitations if you want to inject some zest into the ceremony.
From the Singlish-humor inspired invites at Kampong Kards to the creative designs and typography at Kalo Make Art, there is something for everyone. Plus, if you're tight on the budget, you can always buy some craft materials and add your own quirky finishes.

Papercut Wedding Invitations
Papercut invitations are wonderful if you want a traditional or cultural feel, and they're good fun as well! Couples can bond over making their own with DIY materials, or just hand it over to the talented teams at Prints International or Handsmaden Singapore.
But who says papercuts have to be orthodox? If crafts are your thing, then do try some of the more elaborate designs that appear modern and elegant. For inspiration, just check out the sites of wedding invitation providers and see what they're doing.

Traditional Wedding Invitations
Traditional invitations need not be any less fun. They have sure been passed down centuries for a reason. Besides being formal and elegant, these invitations also add a sense of grandeur to your big day and make your guests feel valued.
Plenty of wedding retailers offer traditional invites, but you don't have to be too conventional. Check out the designs at Kalo Make Art and Handsmaden Singapore for some beautiful bespoke touches that spice up the good ol' invite.

Typography Wedding Invitations
Love your quotes and have just the right words to express how you feel about your big day? We're sure these gorgeous typography invitations will bring out the bookworm in you. Besides, they're personal and easy to design by yourself. Just carve your typography onto a rubber stamp and stamp away!
But if you lack inspiration, the folks at The Fingersmith Letterpress are always glad to help. They specialize in hand-lettering and illustration, and they're great at what they do.

Luxury Wedding Invitations
Ah, don't we all love a grand affair. If you want to go big, why not set the tone with some classy invitations? From gem-studded invitations to gold plated ones, the possibilities are endless.
For luxury designs, we'd definitely suggest Kartoe and Carciofi Design. They customize every design, so just tell them what you want and they'll make it happen. We also love that they take a lot of inspiration from leading fashion houses and designers!
