Top 10 Fun Wedding Favours

There’s no need to spend a ton of money on your wedding favours – your guests will be well fed, well watered and danced off their feet – they’re not expecting extravagant gifts when they leave. Instead, why not inject a little fun and childishness into your wedding and make your guests giggle when they open their favours? Here are our top 10 fun wedding favour ideas:

1. Bubbles! Especially for an outdoor wedding, a sky full of bubbles can make for some spectacular photos.

2. Retro sweets. You can buy loads of sweets and chocolates that take you back to your childhood online now – seeing those old favourites brings back memories for everybody and can fit wonderfully into a retro theme.

3. Balloons. All shapes and sizes, all colours to suit your colour scheme – you can even hide little treasures and sweets inside before you blow them up – or go for helium and watch even the most grown up of your guests descend into squeaky giggly voices by the end of the night…

4. Photo props – these go great with a photo booth and will encourage a little silliness. Go with your chosen wedding theme and get some cheap hats, wigs, glasses and accessories for your guests to don while they pose for photos.

5. Mini spirits. Bought in bulk these don’t have to be expensive – go for a good range of different drinks (including non-alcoholic) and your guests will be happy.

6. Personalised sweets. Some companies allow you to print a (very small) message onto favour sweets. Choose your message, colour scheme, even a picture and have individually wrapped favours delivered to your door.

7. Crackers. They’re not just for Christmas! You can get crackers all year round and even personalise the contents.

8. Kazoos! For your own little wedding orchestra. Other little musical instruments like bells and drums are cheap to buy (look for children’s party bag stockists!) and fun to have your guests join in with the celebration.

9. Water pistols. Strictly for an outdoor wedding, and probably a fairly informal one! And be prepared for all the men to turn into 4 year olds… You might also want to think about changing out of your wedding dress before you let everybody loose!

10. Personalised T-shirts. Probably the most expensive option, although there are ways of printing them yourself at home using stencils. A great memento of your special day.

Just because you’re getting married, it doesn’t mean you have to grow up….!
