Wedding Favour ideas?

Cynthia, on September 29, 2017 at 10:11 Posted in DIY 0 30

I wanted something special and different for our wedding favours, something meaningful. There are so many things to choose from but none that I really settled on or really wanted. Anyone have any ideas?

    We make maple syrup every spring on our property, so last years batch, the first few liters were packaged into smaller bottles that will be our table favors. We made labels at Vista print and will decorate them with a little bow and a seal on the lid.

    Lavender pouches and we're also doing draws for a few of our lantern centerpieces and 2 drinking horns. We'll also have cake pops, macaroons, butterfly and dragonfly cookies and a candy buffet with pouches with vegan and sugar free candies included. Sometimes ppl don't take the favours so this way I figure they can help themselves and not feel obligated but can still enjoy what's put out.

    I made homemade apple butter and peach/plum compote. It was well received. It was very cost effective and because it was homemade, people really liked it.

    We are thinking about doing Wine Glasses. To rent a Wine Glass it costs .40 plus tax and deposit. To buy plastic it is .33 plus tax to buy real it costs less than 1.00 plus tax. If we can find a real nice decal its functional for the wedding and we don't waste. We are also looking into etched wine glasses with our names and wedding date, etc. Something affordable. Something classy as some people charge up to 8.00 per glass.

    The rum cake is actually a great idea! There's just so many things to choose from, it's a good thing I have time to narrow it down.

    Thanks!

    I did Honey jars as my wedding favour. A lot of my friends call me honey lol, so it made perfect sense hahaha. I really like the idea of a s'mores kit too.

    Since you mentioned you're from the Caribbean, you should totally do mini rum cakes (if you can find someone who can make it). I would LOVE that.

    Another idea is a marshmallow hot chocolate kit, with a shot of Bailey's Smiley tongue

    We are thinking of doing jars of honey. My uncle is a honey farmer so it's always been a part of our family. But if not, something edible so if it gets left behind it won't go to waste.

    We made our own spice rub mix and put it in bottles and had little labels put on that we had ordered from Vista Print. Funny story is that we actually forgot to put them out on the tables so we ended up just putting the box out that we transported them in and people grabbed however much they wanted.

    Depending on your budget you could do custom m&m’s they’re super cute. My dad has a printing shop so we’re having custom heart shaped sticky note pads made. They have our initials, wedding date and say “love notes” & “hugs & kisses” on alternating pages. We’re getting married December 16th so we were originally planning to make salt dough ornaments. I bought stamps and ink and had planned to DIY them but decided to go with the sticky notes instead.

    I think we're doing little Hershey kisses with a tag that says "hugs and kisses from the Mr. & Mrs." - we want something cute, but inexpensive. We've been to a lot of weddings and have seen the wedding favours forgotten on the tables so many times, so I told him that I really wanted it to be something edible - hopefully that way people will enjoy it!

    Well he's Dutch and I'm Caribbean so maybe something that represents both? I'd have to do some more thinking to what that might be.

    Is there a food that is special to your culture, family, where you live, or to your relationship? Food or drink is always a great favor idea.

    Hi! I'm kind of in the same boat... I don't know either, I don't want to spend anything too crazy as most people forget theirs or won't ever use it. I was thiking about bottle openers, something cute like "LOVE" or "CHEERS". I've even seen "Mr. & Mrs.". Or I also thought about a wine opener and cork set. Everyone drinks wine, or at least one person in a household normally will.

    Could get some sparkly favor boxes and do some kind of fudge in them with a little saying like " love is sweet" or something along those lines. Or put whatever kind of sweet dessert in them you so choose to. But who doesn't love fudge!

    We don't have a specific theme probably because I'm no good at sticking with just one style but I guess it's elegant romantic. A lot of beautiful big flowers, tall vases with floating candles and a dash of glitz .

    M FH and I are doing cupcakes, we are having cupcakes as our wedding cake and decided since our venue package includes dessert we would use the cupcakes for our favours in cute themed boxes with our names on it.
