How to make personalised chopping boards into charming wedding favours? It may seem unusual. But if you customise them properly, you can get an original and impressive result. Let's find out how.

Personalisation and wedding favours

Weddings are special events. They allow us to live the happiest day of our lives and every detail should be thought out carefully. Every aspect is important and must be given the right attention if you want to organise it accurately. Customising the setting, the decorations, the soundtrack, the entertainment are fundamental steps.

Each wedding must have its own style. Only by creating a coherent atmosphere and avoiding contrasts can you convey your identity and make the event personal.

It often takes several months to plan a wedding. By taking advantage of this time, you have the chance to think about every detail and make sure that everything is in harmony. We aren't talking about the party only, but also about what guests will bring home as a memory of the day: wedding favours.

What should you consider when choosing and customising wedding favours?

It isn't difficult to customise a wedding favour, but care and attention are mandatory. It's important for the souvenir to be in line with the other elements, even if it won't be part of the set-up and will be distributed at the end of the celebrations.

When choosing the accessory, the first aspect to consider is the style of the wedding: for instance, wooden items would do for a country one, while a classic ceremony would require an elegant corkscrew or candle.

In principle, you have two options to customise your articles: create the same wedding favours for all the guests or vary them according to the relationship you have with each one of them. In this way, a close friend will have a different souvenir from the relative you haven't seen in years. It can be a good idea to thank those who are closest to you or, perhaps, those who've introduced you to your partner.

Personalised wedding favours won't reflect the style of the party only. They'll immortalise your union as well. You can print a generic phrase or image that celebrates your bond or a photo or writing that represents you as a couple.

Personalised chopping boards as wedding favours

We've seen how to choose the wedding favours and customise them with a few guidelines. Now, we'd like to talk about one item in particular: chopping boards.

You're probably wondering why choose a kitchen accessory for a wedding. The first reason why they’re more than appropriate is that they’re useful.

Most classic wedding favours become ornaments and are left on a table or in the cupboard. People are likely to forget about them because they can’t use them.

On the other hand, personalised chopping boards will find their place in the kitchen, among other tools, and will prove more or less useful for each guest. They help with the preparation of ingredients and many people can't do without them.

Comfort isn't the only advantage of the cutting board. Thanks to this kitchen accessory, you'll avoid dirtying or damaging the furniture close to the hob and you'll cut the food on a sanitised surface preventing its contamination with harmful substances.

From an aesthetic point of view, chopping boards can be rustic as well as elegant. If their design is stylish, they'll fit perfectly in the kitchen of a sophisticated person. If they look deliberately less refined, they'll be ideal for a friend who loves a casual style.

In any case, if you want to satisfy different tastes with your wedding favours, you can choose simple chopping boards that fit well in any environment. Just choose quality materials to ensure that they’re functional.

In conclusion, opting for a useful accessory as a wedding favour will make you stand out, because your guests will use it in daily life and remember your ceremony from time to time.

How should you choose your chopping boards?

To select the chopping board that's right for you, you have to consider its features.

We've already mentioned one: the material it's made of. As an object of common use, it should serve its purpose and shouldn’t get damaged soon. For this reason, it must be practical, resistant, and guarantee maximum hygiene.

Water and oil mustn't undermine its effectiveness. The ones who'll receive it should be able to wash it and use it for different ingredients, even for those that release the juice, such as tomatoes.

For this reason, wood is the best choice, because it's solid, safe and suitable for any food. Also, when you cut dry products like bread, it'll be very easy to clean.

Dimensions, too, affect whether it's practical or not. A bulky chopping board isn't easy to use and could be left in the drawer for ages.

Chopping boards and other accessories to complete your wedding favour

To craft original wedding favours, you can think of combining chopping boards with other accessories. A set of knives would be ideal. Even if there aren't many, they can be used together with the kitchen tool.

Another option is to add products to clean it, so that guests can always make it look impeccable.

Simply put, in order to complete your wedding favours, you just need to choose accessories that can be used in combination with the chopping boards or that make them better. In this way, you'll make it easier for guests to use them. Finding them more comfortable, they'll save a more positive memory of your wedding day.

Accurate customisation

After choosing the chopping boards and any items that you'll give away with them, you can move on to the next step: customisation. This is where you can make your kitchen tools 100% original.

You can engrave the wedding date on the handle or create a decoration that makes them unique. Alternatively, you can have the initials of the wedding couple written with elegant characters or a small phrase that celebrates their union, depending on the size of the printing area.

If you've chosen chopping boards with no handle, you can customise their surface. However, avoid lines that are too thin. They could hold food residue and make the item hard to clean.

There are endless possibilities, and you can give free rein to your imagination. Keep in mind that wedding favours must be in harmony with the style of the event and that, for this reason, the decorations you've chosen for the setting can inspire you in creating an original and successful accessory.

Other things to give attention to for top quality chopping boards

We've already repeated it a couple of time, but this is crucial: everything must be in harmony at a wedding party. Choosing the chopping boards and customising them both affect the end result. It may take more attempts and you may need to explore more options to achieve the desired effect. So, we advise to start thinking of your wedding favours well in advance.

In this way, you can calmly think about how to decorate your chopping boards so that they bear elements of the set-up. Or, perhaps, of the bride's dress.

There's another accessory that can make a difference. It’s the packaging. Customising it will allow you to enrich your wedding favours and be more creative, especially if you prefer to keep your chopping boards simple.

You can print writings, decorations or images on the gift box. It can also help you distinguish the wedding favours, in case you've decided to customise them differently for the guests.

Again, you need to pay attention to the materials and make sure you choose a customisation in line with the style of the event.

Chopping boards are original gift ideas as wedding favours, but you have to consider different aspects to obtain a good result. If well thought out, however, this tool will amaze guests, help them in everyday life and make your wedding unique and pleasant to remember.

Finally, you can choose to complete this accessory with a traditional wedding favour to give, for instance, to your wedding witnesses.
