Edible Wedding Favor Ideas
Since sometimes a lot of wedding favors get left on the tables at the wedding venues, one way to make sure your guests actually want to take your wedding favors home is by making them edible.
By having your wedding favors edible, it will guarantee that more people will definitely want to take them home!!
Tie the Knot with Pretzels
You could do a bag of the mini twist pretzels or have a whole-sized twisted pretzel.
Then have a note on the bag or attached the bag that says, “Thanks for helping us tie the knot”.
Thanks for Beein Here
Another great edible wedding favor idea would be giving out small containers of honey or containers of olive oil and vinegar.
These are also great ideas because people will actually use honey or oil and vinegar in their daily life.
For the honey, you could attach a card that says “Thanks for beein here”.
But if you decide you would rather do small bottles of olive oil and vinegar, you could attach a card that says “olive you”.
The Perfect Blend with Coffee
You could also give out either k-cups of coffee or little bags filled with coffee beans with a cute note that says “the perfect blend”.
Sip Sip Hooray
If you were having a predominantly adult wedding or you were having an only adult wedding where no kids are allowed, a great idea would be to give out little bottles of liquor like tequila or little wine bottles.
A cute note that would go great with the little bottles of alcohol would be “sip sip hooray” or “take a shot we tied the knot”
Mint to Be
If you need a budget friendly option, then you could get packs of gum or mints from Walmart or the Dollar Tree and then put either a sticker on it or attach a piece of paper to it that says “mint to be”.
Maple Syrup
If you were thinking about having your wedding around morning or lunch time and you were planning on having a wedding brunch, then a great wedding favor idea for this would be to hand out mini bottles of maple syrup.
Thanks for Popping By
You could also have a small bag of popcorn or kettle corn and have a card attached to the string holding the bag together that says “thanks for popping by”.
Midnight Snacks are the Best
One of the best ideas for wedding favors would be for you to put together a box or bag, or you could buy them already made, of midnight snacks that your guests can grab on the way out to take home with them.
This is a great idea because after drinking and dancing all night long, your guests are going to work up an appetite again.
By having boxes or bags of little midnight snacks to give them as they leave would be perfect. It does not have to be a lot of food either, just little snack sizes!
Some ideas could be a bag of french fries, popcorn, and soda, or even a coffee and a donut.
If you wanted to pay a little more, a really great idea for midnight snacks as the wedding begins to end would be to have a food truck roll up for all the guests to grab some food as they leave your venue.
Trust me, they will remember this for years to come!
Other Wedding Favor Ideas
If you do not want to give out food or drink items as your wedding favors, then the list below will help to give you ideas that are non-edible!
Hand Sanitizer or Hand Lotion
You could get either a small bottle of hand sanitizer or hand lotion and then put a sticker on it, or print a paper that has your wedding date or “love your first name and your partner’s first name”.
For example, “love Tom and Marissa” and then tape the paper onto the small bottle.
Even though it is personalized, people will always use hand sanitizer or hand lotion. Especially since it’s small bottles, it is easier to store in their purse or to leave in their car.
To Have and to Hold in Case You Get Cold
If you were having a wedding in the fall or winter season and you were okay with spending some money on wedding favors, you could do blankets.
This is a great idea because blankets are something people will use every day, and if your wedding date falls under those two seasons, it would be even better.
You don’t have to spend a lot on these blankets either. You can get the ones at Walmart for 3-5 dollars, or you can get ones on Amazon for under 10 dollars. That would be up to you and how you wanted to spend on it.
Also, I’m sure there are stores that sell bulks of blankets, so it would be cheaper for you in the long run rather than buying each one individually.
You don’t have to put a cute note on the blankets, but if you did want to, the note could say ” to have and to hold in case you get cold”.
Keep the Fire Burning
Another idea would be mini candles or wax melts.
Depending on when you are planning to have your wedding, you could pick a scent similar to the season you are having your wedding in.
You could use mini candles, or you could take a container of wax melts and give each individual person or each couple a bag of 2-3 wax melts.
Then you could attach a cute note to the candle or bag of wax melts that says, “Keep the fire burning”.
A Little Treat for Your Dancing Feet
If you were planning to have your wedding in the spring or summer and it’s outdoors, one great option for a wedding favor would be to have two baskets of male and female flip flops.
This would be so people could change into flip flops rather than staying in their heels all night.
This is especially great if your wedding is outdoors and on grass because it can be hard to walk or dance in heels on the grass.
You could have a sign on the flip flop basket that says “A little treat for your dancing feet”.
Fans for Those Warmer Days
If you were planning on having your wedding outside during a warmer month, then a great wedding favor idea would be handheld fans for all of your guests.
Especially if there’s not going to be a roof or a tent over the guests during the outdoor wedding ceremony.
Bottle Openers
Another simple but great wedding favor that your guests will love and use is a mini bottle opener.
You could give out bottle opener cards that are shaped like a credit card with a bottle opener in the middle.
Or you could give bottle opener keychains so your guests can hang them on their keys and always have one on them.
