What are some creative and cheap wedding favour ideas?

Short answer

Creative and cheap wedding favours include homemade biscuits, packets of seeds, mini pots of honey, personalised matchboxes, or a single stem of dried lavender. These feel personal and cost very little, especially if you make them in batches with help.

You do not need to spend much to give a memorable favour. Homemade treats are a classic choice. Shortbread, fudge or flapjack wrapped in a small paper bag with a thank you label looks lovely and tastes great. If you bake in bulk a few weeks ahead, you can freeze them and assemble the favours the day before.

Seeds are another cheap and cheerful idea. A small packet of wildflower seeds with a label saying something like grow with us works for many couples, especially if you are having an outdoor or garden wedding. Mini pots of honey or jam from a local producer can also be affordable if you buy in bulk.

For a more tactile favour, try dried lavender in a tiny muslin bag, or a single personalised matchbox with your names and date. These are inexpensive but feel thoughtful. You could also make your own coasters from cork tiles, or press flowers into small cards. The key is to keep the making simple and enlist your bridal party or family for an evening of assembling. A favour does not need to be useful forever. It just needs to feel like a small piece of your day.
