You may not believe it, but choosing your wedding favours can be one of the most difficult decisions that couples have to make. There are many different types of favours; and some can add quite the bill especially when you have 300 people attending your wedding. It’s a great idea to choose a favour that ties in with your theme, and that means something to you as the bride and groom. It is easy to think you have to go BIG with wedding favours, when in reality- you can do anything you want. At the same time, you don’t necessarily have to do favours. It is a nice thing to have, but not mandatory. Depending on your budget, favours are a component where you don’t have to spend too much. If you happen to have extra room in your budget, you can spend a little more.
You want your guests to take home something memorable, but also don’t want it to be tucked away and forgotten about. Remember to keep your theme in mind and choose something that is gender neutral. A great option for a winter wedding would be blankets to keep guests warm or a cute hot cocoa recipe in a mason jar, while summer weddings could have fans to keep your guests cool.
We’ve put together a list of wedding favours, to help inspire you in finding the perfect favour for your wedding. Each couple is unique and special, we love seeing the most creative ideas come to life.
Honey/Jam
We love this Honey & Jam jar idea! You can eat it, and you will have a jar you can re-purpose. Inexpensive and cute. ://www.pinterest.ca/pin/173459023120258786/
2. Flip-Flops
Ladies, we all know around the time the dance-floor opens our feet are crying to get out of our heels. Also can be used at beach weddings, or walking around on the grass. ://www.pinterest.ca/pin/300615343855676807/
3. Candy Table and Take-Away Bags
Candy & Sweet Tables add a little something to the wedding. Kids love it and it also doubles as a favour. You can get little in-expensive bags made for guests to put their candy into! ://www.pinterest.ca/pin/532832199645317433/
4. Donations to Charities
Donations are a great idea for a couple that would rather give to a charity instead of typical wedding favours.
5. Personalized Wine Bottles
Wine is a great favour, which you can personalize and guests will most likely take it home and have a glass, or two. https://www.pinterest.ca/pin/394487248593139753/

Personalized glasses are great as you can take them home and use daily! https://www.pinterest.ca/pin/706080047799946749/
