Short answer
For a small or intimate wedding, choose favours that feel personal, like a handwritten note, a small framed photo, or a homemade treat. With fewer guests, you can spend more per person and make each favour feel special and unique.
A small wedding means you have the chance to give favours that are truly personal. With fewer guests, you can focus on quality and meaning rather than quantity. A handwritten note to each guest is a simple and heartfelt favour. You can pair it with a small gift, like a mini bottle of your favourite drink, a packet of your favourite tea, or a homemade jam or chutney. If you have a polaroid camera, take a photo of each guest during the reception and give it to them in a small frame as they leave. That is a memory they will keep. Another idea is to give a small plant, like a succulent or a herb, with a tag that says something like "thanks for helping us grow." If you are crafty, make a small batch of something, such as shortbread, fudge, or granola, and package it in a simple jar with a ribbon. For an intimate wedding, you could also give a favour that relates to a shared memory, like a book mark from a place you visited together, or a small stone with a word that means something to you both. The favour does not need to be expensive. It needs to show that you thought about each guest. Since there are fewer people, you can also ask guests for their preferences in advance, such as favourite flavours or colours, and tailor the favours accordingly.
