What are some wedding favour ideas for kids?

Children often enjoy favours they can use straight away, rather than something to keep. A small bag or box with a colouring book and crayons works well, as does a pot of bubbles for outdoor weddings. Sticker sheets, temporary tattoos, or a small puzzle book are also popular. You could add a snack, such as a wrapped biscuit or a fruit pouch, but check with parents about allergies first.

Think about the age range of the children attending. For younger kids, soft toys or sensory items like a mini spinning top are good. For older children, a small notebook with a pen, or a simple craft kit, can be a hit. Avoid anything with tiny parts that could be a choking hazard, and skip items that need adult help to open or assemble.

You can also make the favour part of the day's fun. For example, a wedding-themed word search or a bingo card for the ceremony keeps children focused. If you have a children's table, place the favours there before the meal so they can start playing. Remember that the favour should feel special for the child, not just a smaller version of an adult gift. A little note with their name on it makes it feel personal.
