Budget, quantity and theme would all help narrow it down!

So many cute ideas here: https://www.■■■■■■■■/market/wedding_favors?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=cool%20wedding%20favors_e&utm_campaign=Search_US_Nonbrand_GGL_ENG_Weddings_Gifting_All&utm_ag=Wedding%2BFavors&utm_custom1=_k_EAIaIQobChMIh6bvwrbbjgMVLi2tBh3BEwJwEAAYASAAEgKYePD_BwE_k_&utm_content=go_6470148393_128352864640_745226748683_kwd-332122411_c_&utm_custom2=6470148393&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=6470148393&gbraid=0AAAAADtcfRKFyyc9KmAWGVp71yKfVUu3d&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIh6bvwrbbjgMVLi2tBh3BEwJwEAAYASAAEgKYePD_BwE

Under 20 guests, it can be expensive since we don’t need many. Engraved champagne glass? It may be annoying to take it back on an airplane

Good thinking to make sure that whatever you give is easily transportable if people are flying.

Is there a theme or a special location you could tie into? We were recently at a wedding at a wild flower center and the bride and groom had personalized seed packets as their favors.

I’d do something consumable. People don’t need more trinkets.

No theme. That will make it too easy :slight_smile:

When my niece got married, they had a selection of really interesting candles that were made by a local artist. They put out a display, and then we took one that we liked. I’ve also been to one with a candy bar that was fun.

Well…it would have to be consumed before flying…but we got small bottles of wine with a special label commemorating the bride and groom…At a wedding we went to a few years ago.

Agree glass is hard to transport if guests are flying in - and agree consumable is nice - lots of personalized bags of chocolates or coffee - the jars of honey are sweet (but again, glass).

We went to a wedding and when you left you got milk and cookies. It was amazing though!!

I’m also a fan of the candy bar with the personalized bags to take home.

Anything that represents the couple hometowns or interests that are unique.

You can always skip the wedding favors entirely. Most people won’t mind.

We once got handmade bars of soap as a wedding favor—they were unique and I didn’t see any left behind. Consumable goods are generally a hit at weddings we’ve attended.

Can you bring in an artist to do sketches or watercolors so everyone takes home a mini portrait?

Personalized tea towels or coasters? They could be part of the table setting.

Wine bottle stoppers. Cocktail shakers.

A little food item that’s made in your town or city, especially as you have people coming from out of town.

Look at your local bakery, or a tea or coffee company, or a renowned local chocolate shop…or pop over to your local farmers market and see what prepared items people have there.

Shortbread from your local bakery, a bag of local, roasted hazelnuts, a small jar of honey, a little box of 2-4 truffles from the local chocolatier, any one of those items would work! Or you could get tiny gift bags, and put 2-3 different local items in there and simply tie it with a ribbon.

At my nephew’s wedding we got hand thrown vases his new wife had made. They were on the tables at the reception in different colors so every family got to pick their choice. It was lovely that they were made by the bride for her guests.

We were not going to have favors. The MOG made handmade soaps and wrapped them for each guest. We placed at each seat. You can see them in this picture in the pretty cloth bags. We helped clean up at the end, and I don’t recall any left behind.
