Wedding Favors

As a thank you to their guests for coming to celebrate their wedding with them, the bride and groom will often have party favors for their guests. To help you get an idea for your big day, we’ve compiled a list of party favors that range from common to unique while also covering a range of prices.

Chocolate: Chocolate is a staple gift for a reason. You can’t go wrong giving a sweet chocolate bar as a gift to your guests, complete with a custom label commemorating this important date.

Pressed Flowers: This favor can double as a place setting and a gift! Calligraph your guests' names and seating assignments onto framed pressed flowers, and they can leave with one of the most unique wedding favors they will ever receive.

Cocktail Kits: Keep the party going even after your guests go home by gifting them all the ingredients for one of your favorite drinks.

Seeds: Seeds are traditional symbols of growth and harmony, so what could be more fitting for a wedding favor? A fun idea is to choose seeds related to your floral arrangements.

Late Night Snacks: You can’t go wrong with free food ever, especially after a long night of dancing. Set out bowls of snacks with to-go baggies next to them so your guests can take some for the road.

Candles: Whether you go rustic or elegant, small or large, candles are always a hit wedding favor.

Mugs: Personal and practical. Need we say more?

Bottle Openers: Another great way to keep the good times going for your guests even after they leave.

Temporary Tattoos: One of the more unique wedding favor ideas on this list, creating and giving out personalized temporary tattoos in honor of your marriage will definitely delight your guests.

Mini Floral Arrangements: This one will save you money and reduce waste. Near the end of the night, have a designated person rearrange your floral arrangements into mini ones for your guests to take home a part of your big day.

Mini Succulents: Everyone loves receiving plants, especially easy-to-care-for ones like mini succulents.

Bottle of Wine: Send your guests home with a tasty reminder of your wedding reception. One fun way to personalize this gift is to wrap the bottles in a material that reflects your wedding, like this fish net from a tropical wedding.

Sunglasses: If you’re having an outdoor ceremony, have these sunglasses out before the ceremony to give your guests a way to protect themselves from the sun. Then your guests can take them home as a memento. Win-win!

Matches: A wedding favor classic, try switching it up by putting matches in a cute glass jar rather than a matchbox.

Wine Glasses: Have some wine glasses customized with your names or the wedding date, and you have a perfect wedding favor that your guests will actually use.

Scented Soap: Treat your guests with fragrant bars of soap. You can even get a little fun with it and come up with a fun pun that references your wedding.

Coasters: Everyone could use more coasters in their lives, making this wedding favor practical on top of stylish. Get them monogrammed to add an extra level of elegance.

Lip Balm: Who couldn’t use another lip balm? Easily customizable, lip balm is a thoughtful wedding favor your guests can take home with them.

Jams: Delight your guests with tiny jars of delicious jam.

Magnets: Another practical yet stylish wedding favor, these magnets will remind your guests of your wedding every time they open their fridge.

S’mores Kit: Easy to DIY, delicious, and fun, you can’t go wrong with a s’mores kit.

Mini Sparking Wine: If you’re planning a glamorous party, look no further than these mini bottles of bubbly to complete your evening.

Mints: No one has ever said no to mints, and these cute customizable tins elevate this gift to the next level.

Golf Balls: Another fun and unique party favor perfect for anyone getting married at a country club or for a couple who simply loves the golf.

Playing Cards: These playful and romantic cards will lead to plenty of games for your guests. Remember to keep a deck as a keepsake for yourself too.

Mini Honey Jar: These custom honey jars are a sweet favor that your guests can take home and enjoy.

Photo Booth: Instead of buying party favors, rent a photo booth where your guests can take home the photos as a memento from your big day.

Party Playlist: This is a fun alternative to wedding favors that will get your guests more involved in your wedding. On your invites, give your guests an option to choose a song when they RSVP. The DJ can then play these songs at your dance. An extra special touch is sharing the playlist with your guests so they can relive the night by listening to these songs.

Donation to Charity: Choose a charity or two that you and your guests support and, instead of gifts, make a small donation on behalf of each guest.
