1. Mini Vase Wedding Favour – £2.45, Sprinkle More Joy
Add your guests' initials to these beautiful mini vases and they'll act like a place setting that they can keep! They'll be the perfect way to add a floral touch to your wedding day. "I've never seen anything like this before at a wedding," says Zoe Burke, wedding expert and Editor of Hitched. "You could fill them with sweets, or add a simple flower. A lovely keepsake!"
Pros & Cons: On their own these bottle wedding favours might look rather simple but once you've popped a few blooms inside, they'll come to life and really elevate your wedding tables.
2. No Ugly Crying Handkerchief – £17, Mr Teacup
How adorable are these hand sewn handkerchiefs? Ideal if you know your guests will shed a few tears, you can choose from a number of embroidery colours to suit their taste.
Pros & Cons: The embroidery is sewn using a technique called free motion embroidery so no two handkerchiefs will be the same. We would recommend hand washing to ensure the stitching stays in place. They're a little pricey for everyone if you've got a big guest list, but would make a cute wedding thank you gift.
3. Wedding Favour Fancy Matches – £11, Lil' Something
Take the gift of matches up a level by giving your guests these colourful cuties from Lil' Something. They're stored in the most gorgeous bottles that will fit into any wedding theme and who doesn't appreciate a 'perfect match' pun?

4. Rose Quartz Wedding Favour - £3.86, Etsy
Planning a celestial wedding? These crystal wedding favours will be the most magical finishing touch and are bound to bring good energy to your big day. Rose quartz is said to be the ultimate crystal of love making them totally wedding-appropriate.
Pros & Cons: Only the highest quality and ethically sourced crystals with low minimums are used. Due to the nature of their natural origin there may be a slight variance in shape and colour but that's what makes them such a different wedding favour.
5. Bespoke Macron Wedding Favour – £4.50, The English Rose Bakery
You can't beat a sweet treat so your guests are sure to adore these bespoke macrons. They've been given a gorgeous wedding-ready finish in pretty pink and rose gold - all you have to do is choose two flavours from pistachio, salted caramel, vanilla, lemon, rose, raspberry, chocolate, hazelnut and Nutella and chocolate orange...
Pros & Cons: There are so many flavours that you might have a hard time picking them - we say opt for one fruit and one chocolate per box. See more macaron wedding favour ideas here.
6. Personalised Vintage Silver Plated Wedding Favour Spoon – £20, Le de da Living!
These teaspoons are a little on the pricier side, but if you're having an intimate gathering they could be perfect! We can see them looking seriously sweet at a garden tea party and love the idea of your guests having them to treasure for years to come.

If you have a sporty crew joining you for you wedding day, they'll love these personalised golf balls. Better yet, if you're marrying at a wedding venue with a golf course they'll be able to test them out during the weekend. See sporting wedding venues here.
Pros & Cons: Even if your wedding guests don't typically play golf, they'll still make a lovely keepsake for them to have in their home.
Why Do You Have Wedding Favours at a Wedding?
The very first wedding favours date back centuries ago and were known as 'bonbonnieres'. Given as a symbol of good luck, guests could usually look forward to sugar cubes or sugared almonds! Today, you can really tailor them to your chosen wedding theme or preference.
Not only are they a fun way to show your guests gratitude and how much you love them, but they're also a sweet reminder of the most special day of your life.
Are Wedding Favours Necessary?
There is nothing to say that you have to hand out wedding favours at your wedding, but they are a lovely gesture! They can also double up as wedding table names, or entertainment for your guests during the reception so they are worth considering.
On a tight budget? Check out these cheap wedding favours - you'll be amazed at what you can get for less than £1!
