Today's post is a little different from the theme of posting weddings that SP Weddings has organised over the past in Greece. I thought I would showcase some ideas of how to use local products as favours. I have found that guests love receiving a small gift from the country that they have travelled to and if you use locally produced items, the favour becomes even more authentic and memorable to your guests
Small (or large) bottles of your favourite Greek wine, perhaps the one that you have chosen to serve at your wedding reception is a lovely keepsake for your guests to take away with them.
Consider customising the label with your names, the wedding date and location of the wedding for a more personal touch.
Greek coffee, this is the perfect favour for those that love coffee, easy to transport back home and a product that you will use again and again!
Consider providing personalised instructions on how to make the "perfect" cup of Greek coffee!
Olive oil is of course associated with Greece and a very useful favour that all your guests will appreciate receiving and certainly use when they return home!
You could include a personalised note on where and how the specific oil has been made or a couple of Greek recipes that feature olive oil quite prominently.
Mastiha is a product you may or may not have heard of, grown only on the island of Chios, this is basically a delicious tree sap that has been made into many products, you can find beauty products as well as edible items. Mastiha in it's best known form is like a chewy, very sweet paste that you take a spoon of and dip in ice cold water, you then slowly consume the paste with the water!! Sounds strange but is actually very enjoyable!Of course I would recommend adding a note explaining how to consume this product!
Finally most people are aware of the cool cosmetics company called "Korres", started by a Greek this is one of the most successful companies to emerge in the last few years and can be found around the world with high street stores in New York.
The products are made with natural Greek products and smell and feel amazing!
Consider giving after sun lotion to your guests or perhaps some body lotion with a smell that you love. If you are using herbs or olive leaves in your wedding flowers you can perhaps link this with the product that you choose as the favour for your guests!
