What are the top 5 wedding favours?

Short answer

The top five wedding favours are personalised sweets, mini bottles of drink, seed packets, small candles, and a charity donation in each guest's name. These are popular because they are simple, thoughtful and suit most weddings.

When couples ask for the top wedding favours, these five ideas come up again and again because they work for many different weddings and budgets.

First, personalised sweets. Chocolate, fudge, or wrapped sweets with your names and date are classic. They are easy to buy or make, and most guests will enjoy them during the evening.

Second, mini bottles of drink. Small bottles of something like a soft drink, a mini spirit, or a tiny bottle of local juice make a fun favour. Guests can drink them at the wedding or take them home.

Third, seed packets. Wildflower seeds, herb seeds or mini succulents are lovely and eco-friendly. They give a lasting reminder of your day and are light to post or carry.

Fourth, small candles. A tiny jar candle with a personalised label is warm and useful. Choose a scent that is not too strong so it suits everyone.

Fifth, a charity donation. Instead of a physical favour, you can give a small amount to a cause you both care about, with a card on each table. This is thoughtful and reduces waste.

These five work because they are easy to organise, fit most themes and do not cost a fortune. You can mix and match, or choose just one. The key is to make sure the favour feels like you and that your guests will appreciate it.
