We all know what wedding favors are–small tokens of appreciation that guests take home as a reminder of your special day. And with the many, many different options you’ll find online, it can be a bit overwhelming to decide. The key is to choose favors that are memorable, exciting, and hold special meanings for you and your loved ones. Here’s a list of creative, fun, and genuinely lovely wedding favor ideas that (we can almost guarantee) everyone at your wedding will absolutely adore!
Succulents or Plants
Perfect for outdoor or garden weddings, succulents are a great way to keep the natural theme going. These low-maintenance plants are cute, eco-friendly, and can grow alongside the memories of your celebration.
Personalized Blankets
Need a thoughtful and practical gift for your ninongs and ninangs? Or perhaps, getting married somewhere cold? Personalized blankets are a great choice! They can be customized with the wedding date or a small message, and they make for cozy reminders of your wedding.
Gouache Portraits
Add a dash of artistic flair to your wedding with an on-site artist creating quick, beautiful gouache portraits of your guests. This interactive favor offers not just a unique keepsake but also an entertaining experience as guests watch their portraits come to life.
Perfumes
Who doesn’t love good-smelling things? Create a unique interactive experience with a perfume bar where guests can concoct their own fragrances. This custom scent will serve as a personal reminder of your wedding day, and it’s a practical gift they can use on the daily.
Scented Candles
Speaking of good-smelling things, candles are a timeless favorite! Choose your favorite scent and have the candles customized with labels that reflect your wedding theme. They’re a simple, elegant favor that guests can use to bring a warm, pleasant aroma into their homes.
Baked Goods
Everybody loves a tasty treat! Opt for crowd-pleasers like cookies, brownies, or cupcakes, and package them in cute, personalized boxes. These are sure to satisfy any sweet tooth and leave a lasting impression.
Munchables
Not into sweets? For something a bit different, savory snacks like gourmet peanuts or kamote chips are a fantastic choice. Pack them in charming tubs or bags, and you’ve got a delicious, crunchy treat that’s perfect for guests who might prefer something less sweet. (Fun little fact: I actually went to a wedding that had these as favors, and trust me, it was such a hit!)
Handcrafted Bags
Treat your bridal party to something both beautiful and useful: handcrafted bags. These can be customized to match your wedding colors and are an excellent way for your closest friends to remember the day—and to carry their wedding-day essentials!
Local Produce
Sending your guests home with local produce is a thoughtful, eco-friendly wedding favor that supports local vendors and gives a taste of the region. Whether it’s freshly made jams, specialty cheeses, or a variety of fruits and veggies, this favor is sure to be appreciated. Talk about a practical gift!
