What are some wedding favour ideas for parents?

Parents often appreciate a favour that shows thought and gratitude rather than something generic. A framed photo of you as a child with them, or a photo from the wedding day itself, is a lovely keepsake. You could also write a handwritten letter thanking them for their support and include it in a small box with a gift such as a candle, a plant or a bottle of their favourite drink.

Another idea is to give them something that reflects a shared memory, such as a book you loved as a family, a piece of jewellery with their birthstone, or a voucher for a meal out together. If you have a family recipe, you could print it on a card and put it in a small jar of homemade jam or chutney. The key is to make it personal and to show that you know them well.

You can present these favours during the speeches, at the top table, or quietly before the ceremony. If you have step parents or in laws, include them too so no one feels left out. A small gesture can mean a lot, and it does not have to cost much.
