Eco/budget Friendly wedding favours

Need suggestions that aren’t expensive like olive oil and honey but are actually useful without plastic packaging.

    We opted for a photobooth instead of wedding favours. This way, our guests had something to do during the reception and was able to bring home a photo of themselves with our wedding date on it.

    We ordered personalized seed packets from Veseys. They have a few options for seed types (we picked the Bee Feed variety). The minimum order is 100, which is definitely more than we need, but the cost was very, very good ($0.85/each + shipping and tax), especially when compared with other personalized favour ideas.

    I was just going to suggest something like this! Budget-friendly and something good for the environment.

    We had potted plants as our centrepieces and they were also the favours.

    You could have a candy table at the wedding and either get the environmentally friendly packaging or just have it so that people eat the food while they’re at the wedding

    Hi Haley!

    I really like the suggestion of the seeds, this could be a great option!

    Alternatively, I found this idea on Pinterest. You could give every guest a glass (personalized with names, and/or date of your wedding) which they would use at the reception, but also get to take home. Inspo pic below.

    Do you think this is something you could incorporate?

    The honey we ordered comes in glass jars, and will be "actually useful" when guests get to , you know, eat it.

    Some ideas, seeds in a paper packet, small pack of coffee or tea in paper bag, diy bird seed feeders - we did those with my daughter and they are very easy and fun, or maybe small jar of homemade jelly.
