Wedding Favours Your Guests Won’t Leave Behind

At the end of most weddings, half the favours are still sitting on the tables. The problem is rarely the budget; it is that the favour has no use and no meaning once the night is over. The best wedding favours do two jobs: they look beautiful on the table and they are useful at home afterwards.

Here are personalized favour ideas that guests keep.

Favours guests will use every day

• Engraved keychains. Small, light and practical, with the couple’s initials and wedding date. Browse Keychains.
• Coasters. A single engraved coaster at each place setting doubles as table décor. See Coasters.
• Fridge magnets. A heart, a cedar or the couple’s monogram: a small reminder of the day every time guests open the fridge. See Magnets.
• Bookmarks. Elegant and flat, so they are easy to tuck into an invitation-style card. See Bookmarks.
• Phone stands. A modern favour that guests will genuinely use on their desk. See Phone Stands.

Favours that double as place cards

Save money and table space by combining two things into one. An engraved guest name on a coaster, a keychain or a small wooden tag can mark each guest’s seat and then go home with them. Our Favour Tags & Place Cards can be made with every guest’s name, in wood or clear plexi.

Favours for the sweet table

If your favour is a box of chocolates or sugared almonds, a laser-cut tag makes it personal. Tie a wooden tag with the couple’s names and “Thank you” to each box with natural twine. It costs little and makes a simple favour feel handmade.

Match the favours to your wedding décor

When favours, Welcome Signs, Seating Charts & Table Numbers and the Cake Topper share the same material and lettering, the whole wedding looks designed rather than assembled. Choose one style, natural wood for a rustic or garden wedding, or clear plexi for a modern ballroom, and use it everywhere.

How many favours to order

Order one favour per guest or per couple, plus about 5% extra for last-minute guests and breakage. If you are using name tags, send your final guest list at least two to three weeks before the wedding so every name is spelled correctly.
