So, I\u2019ve gone back to the traditional to see how a simple, luxury gift can sometimes be the best way of raising a smile on your guests\u2019 faces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"540\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Graceful favours\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/407861620-797583695716725-7266663995248007259-n.jpg\" alt=\"Graceful favours\" class=\"wp-image-11036430\" srcset=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/407861620-797583695716725-7266663995248007259-n.jpg 720w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/407861620-797583695716725-7266663995248007259-n-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/407861620-797583695716725-7266663995248007259-n-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/407861620-797583695716725-7266663995248007259-n-293x220.jpg 293w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/407861620-797583695716725-7266663995248007259-n-390x293.jpg 390w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"540\" title=\"Graceful favours\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/407861620-797583695716725-7266663995248007259-n.jpg\" alt=\"Graceful favours\" class=\"wp-image-11036430\" srcset=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/407861620-797583695716725-7266663995248007259-n.jpg 720w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/407861620-797583695716725-7266663995248007259-n-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/407861620-797583695716725-7266663995248007259-n-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/407861620-797583695716725-7266663995248007259-n-293x220.jpg 293w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/407861620-797583695716725-7266663995248007259-n-390x293.jpg 390w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Graceful favours<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-something-delicious\">Something delicious<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A simple bottle of something tasty is an exquisite and chic favour.
