What are some edible wedding favour ideas besides chocolate?

Answered by the UK Wedding Websites editorial team · Updated 2026-10-12 · For guests

Short answer

Try honey in a small jar, shortbread biscuits, fudge, jam, tea leaves, coffee beans, or a mini bottle of olive oil. You can also give personalised spice blends, loose leaf tea, or a small bag of locally roasted coffee.

Edible favours are always popular, and there are plenty of options beyond chocolate. A jar of local honey is a lovely, natural choice, especially if you can find a nearby beekeeper. Shortbread biscuits, fudge, or homemade jam are classic British treats that travel well and suit most tastes.

For something savoury, consider a small bottle of olive oil, a blend of dried herbs, or a mini bag of spiced nuts. Tea leaves or a single-origin coffee are thoughtful for guests who enjoy a hot drink. You could also give a small pot of marmalade, a sachet of hot chocolate mix, or a packet of flavoured popcorn.

Think about your guests' dietary needs. Offer a couple of options, such as a gluten free biscuit or a vegan jam, so everyone feels included. Label each favour with your names and wedding date, and keep the packaging simple and recyclable. Edible favours are often eaten on the night, so they do not need to be practical keepsakes. Just make sure they are sealed well and stored safely before the wedding day.
