Memorable wedding favour ideas
Struggling to think of a thoughtful gift to let your guests know how much you appreciated them coming to your wedding? If you want to offer your guests something imaginative, here are some memorable ideas for wedding favours your guests won’t want to leave without.
1. Candy cart
Sweets are always a popular wedding favour, but instead of dishing them into little bags and leaving them at each guest’s table setting, why not let them assemble their own with the sweets they like best? A candy cart is a great alternative to traditional wedding favours and means that nobody ends up with sweets they won’t eat.
2. Something personalised
Make your favours a unique reminder of your big day by having them personalised with your names and the date of your wedding. Whether you opt for simple bookmarks or engrave shot glasses, getting your favours personalised means they’ll be a more special memento for guests to take home. There’s lots of inspiration for personalised wedding favours here.
3. A packet of seeds
Give each guest a packet of seeds and they’ll be able to plant them when they get home for a lasting reminder of your wedding day. You could even stick with your wedding theme by giving them seeds of flowers that featured in your bouquet and flower arrangements. Seeds are great because they’re inexpensive, thoughtful and will encourage guests to create a bee- and wildlife-friendly environment in their gardens once your big day is over.
4. A charity donation
If you’d rather not spend money on material things, why not make a donation to a charity of your choice on guests’ behalf? You could even give them a couple of different options and let them vote for their favourite charity using glass beads in bottles left on each table. Alternatively, if you know the charity you want to donate to, it’s worth looking into what they can offer as a memento to your guests – some offer little charity pins, which you can put at each guest’s table setting along with a bit of information about the charity’s work.
