52 Unique Wedding Favours To Thank Your Guests

Photography by Ania Ames

Wedding favours are one of the many wedding traditions we’re seeing reimagined. Many couples still treat their guests to unique wedding favours, particularly those that double up as decor or place names. Wedding favours are a great way of saying thank you to your guests perhaps with something personal and meaningful. They are also a way of encouraging your guests to get into the spirit of your wedding (especially if it's an alcoholic favour). From plants, charity donations, and mini alcoholic drinks to chocolate delicacies and flip-flops, here are a few wedding favour ideas.

Our editors independently research, review, and recommend the best products. We may receive commissions on purchases made from our chosen links.


With this roundup, you'll find a favour that suits the vibe of your wedding!

Botanical Wedding Favours

Give your guests a token of gratitude with the added bonus of complementing your tablescape. Botanical favours are a gorgeous way to do this. Small succulents are the perfect size to give to friends and family, as are small bags of seeds which guests can take home and grow. Or if you have any floral decor you know will not be used after the big day, give it to your guests!

Drinks

If you want to guarantee your wedding favours will be devoured then treat each guest to a miniature. Small bottles of gin or mini champagne bottles are very popular and elegant choices. If you are giving out gin or Prosecco, why not make a small station where guests could add their own fruit, mixers and ice? We have all the info you need on making a pimp your Prosecco station.  Just be sure to double-check with your venue as some don’t allow couples to bring their own alcohol on the premises.

Food Wedding Favours

Back in the day, sugared almonds were a traditional favour. We love finding edible delicacies waiting for us before the wedding breakfast. Whether it's chocolate, biscuits, fudge, jam, coffee, honey or sweets, they always go down well! Popcorn is a really inexpensive and effective way to give your guest a treat and ideal if you’ve opted not to have canapés! Food wedding favours are also a great way of sampling what local suppliers have to offer.

Practical

We’ve seen lots of brides and grooms ensure a packed dance floor by offering guests flip-flops. Getting everyone to feel comfortable physically, guarantees they'll be comfortable to really let their hair down to the tunes you'll be playing. Or if you're having a winter wedding or a lot of outdoor activities, keeping blankets on hand for those guests that feel the cold is a life-saver.

Charity Wedding Favours

For the couple keen to give back, charity favours are the perfect answer. They’re a wonderful way to commemorate a loved one who has passed or a way to support a cause close to your heart. Many charities now offer printed favours and pins you can leave on the table for each guest. If not, you could ask your stationer to create a bespoke piece mentioning your donation. Don't forget a lot of gift lists also offer a charity option, too!
