What are some wedding favour ideas with bubbles or umbrellas?

Short answer

Bubble favours are perfect for outdoor weddings, especially for a bubble send-off instead of confetti. You can give small bottles of bubble solution with a personalised tag, or mini umbrellas for shade or rain.

Bubbles are a charming favour for a summer or garden wedding. You can buy small bottles of bubble solution and attach a tag with your names and date, or even a message like "Blow a wish for us". Guests can use them during the ceremony for a bubble send-off, which looks lovely in photos and is safe for the environment. You could also provide larger wands for children.

Mini umbrellas are another practical favour, especially if you are marrying in a place where the weather is unpredictable. You can choose compact folding umbrellas in your wedding colours, and have them printed with your names and date. Guests can use them for shade on a hot day or shelter from a sudden shower. They are useful long after the wedding, so they are not likely to be thrown away.

For a twist, you could combine both: give a small bubble bottle and a tiny paper umbrella for decoration. Or, if you are having an outdoor ceremony, set up a basket of bubbles and umbrellas for guests to take as they arrive. This works well for beach weddings or park ceremonies. Remember to check your venue's rules about confetti and bubbles, as some places have restrictions. If bubbles are not allowed, you could use ribbon wands instead. Umbrellas are always a safe bet, and they make for great photo opportunities if the weather turns. Just make sure they are lightweight and easy to carry.
