10 Cute Wedding Favour Ideas

If you are in the middle of planning a wedding, you know how important the guests are. You spend hours deciding who all you will be inviting to your big day – making sure all family is included, your close friends and maybe even co-workers. Your big day will be a huge celebration of the you and the person you have chosen to spend forever with and you want everyone that you love to help you celebrate this new, exciting adventure with you!

Most likely, guests will be bringing gifts with them as well. While you will send “thank you” cards out after the wedding to thank the guests for their gifts, and maybe even again for their attendance, it is still important to thank them right away at the wedding.

A wedding favour is a great way to just say “thank you” to your guests for sharing your special day with you. So, with a big list of guests to buy for, what exactly should you get them?

DIY wedding favours are a great way to personalize the gift for your guests and can also save you a lot of money.

Below is a list of 10 cute wedding favour ideas to give your guests.

1. Cake pops. Everybody loves a sweet treat, and cake pops are the perfect bite-sized “thank you.” You can make cake pops at home, in a big batch and bag them individually. Print out little “thank you” tags to attach to the bags and just set them out at the dinner tables. Also, try adding a cute ribbon to tie the bag together! You can personalize the ribbon at Wunderlabel to read your wedding date, you and your spouse’s name or whatever you think would look cute.
2. S’More wedding favors. This is another sweet treat, DIY favour that is sure to bring a smile to everyone’s face. Buy some plastic boxes from your local craft store and fill them with the ingredients for a s’more. If you have an outdoor wedding with a bonfire, this is a great activity for guests as well.
3. Personalized wine bottles. This one isn’t completely DIY, but you do add your own little touch. Buy mini bottles of wine and attach a personalized label to each one to give to the guests. By adding their name to it, you make the gift much more thoughtful.
4. Jars of jam. If you are crafty in the kitchen, try giving your guests homemade jam as a “thank you” gift. You could give everyone the same flavor or switch it up and put out a few varieties.
5. Mason jars of moonshine. If you and your guests like to get the party started with a drink, this might be a party favour you all could enjoy! Make your own, or purchase some moonshine, pour it into decorated mason jars and add a label.
6. Succulents in a tea cup. Guests are sure to enjoy a gift they can have for months to come. Succulents are affordable and don’t require much care. Grab a few cheap tea cups from your local store and put the succulents inside. This gift is a double bonus – they get the plant and the tea cup!
7. Personalized bottled water. You can print the custom labels yourself or hire a company; there are plenty of companies that offer custom printed items. If you do it yourself – take a few cases of water bottles (depending on your head count for guests), remove the labels and add your own personalized labels. This gives them a gift they can use at any point!
8. Homemade candles. Just about everyone loves a good candle. You can make a big batch of candles at home and personalize the container you put it in – a tea cup, mason jar, or simple, glass candleholder. This will give your guests something to keep in their house and remind them of how fun your special day was.
9. Sriracha salt. If your guests like to eat, this is a fun treat! Sriracha salt will add a little kick to any meal and is incredibly easy to make. Spice up your guest’s kitchen just a little bit with this DIY wedding favour.
10. Cookie buffet with to-go containers. Who doesn’t love cookies? Your guests have just had cake, so while they might not be able to say “no” to a good cookie, they are probably too full to indulge right then. Put to-go containers out on the table so that your guests have a late-night snack to take with them after a night of celebration.
