7 Wedding Favours For Your Wedding Guests

3 min read

 Weddings are crazy things to organise.

You have to go through a lot of planning, and keep in mind what you and your guests’ experiences will be like. One of the things that most couples find problematic when organising their wedding reception is wedding favours (or bonbonniere).

 

7 Wedding Favours For You | Stay At Home Mum 

It’s not as easy as it seems. When you try to decide what kind of wedding favours to give out, there are a lot of things to consider:

(1) Will your guests like it?
(2) Will they be useful?
(3) Does it match the theme?
(4) Will they keep them?
(5) Is it unique? Cute? Useful?

The thing is, you don’t want to spend too much money or time on something, just to end up having your guests chuck them out the minute they leave the reception. Here’s our list of some cool and fun ideas on what you can give to your wedding guests!

1. Sweet Take-Home Treats

These yummy delights would be a great idea to give to your guests! Food always goes down well, believe me! You could give boxes of doughnuts (just find some that match your wedding’s theme/colour palette) or nice lollies packaged in cute little decorative boxes, with a personalised design and message.

You can also go for a creative package design, like custom-made wrappers for your chocolates, or even putting some sweets in a test tube, sealed with a cork, for something different!

2. Cassette USBs

This cool idea takes us back to when cassettes were still in (hello 1980s!!) – add some love songs (like a mix-tape) on it for your guests!

3. Bottles Of *Your Choice*

Giving your wedding guests mini bottles of wine or spirits… or even chilli, is a great idea. Whatever bottle you decide to give, you can always make it more personalised by adding a short “thank you” note.

4. Lego Figures

“Everything is awesome!!” You can get creative and add a personal touch for your guests by picking out different Lego characters that match your guests’ personality. Let your imagination run wild and it’ll be a fantastic talking point at the reception!

5. Aromas

These intoxicating, home-y scents, in forms of homemade soaps and oils, can be a lovely idea. It’ll give your guests a chance to reboot themselves after the wedding (or any time they want to use it) — using the oils for a good back massage, or soaps for a long cold bath. Either way, they’ll be good additions to anyone’s home.
