What sweets to put in wedding favour bags?

Answered by the UK Wedding Websites editorial team · Updated 2026-10-12 · For the bridal party

Short answer

Popular sweets for wedding favour bags include wrapped chocolates, fudge, jelly beans, mints, and personalised sweets like sugared almonds. Choose a mix of colours that match your wedding theme, and make sure they are individually wrapped for hygiene.

When choosing sweets for favour bags, think about what will travel well and stay fresh. Wrapped chocolates are a classic choice because they look neat and are easy to handle. Fudge is another favourite, especially if you buy it from a local maker. Jelly beans and mints are light and come in many colours, so you can match your palette. Sugared almonds, often called confetti almonds, are traditional at weddings and come in pastel shades. You could also include a mix of different sweets, like a few chocolates and a couple of boiled sweets. If you are making the bags yourself, use small cellophane or paper bags and tie them with ribbon or twine. Add a small tag with your names and the date. For a personal touch, choose sweets that mean something to you, like the sweets you had on your first date or a family favourite. If you have guests with allergies, it is thoughtful to label the bags or offer a non-food alternative, such as a small packet of seeds. Always check with your venue if they have any restrictions on loose sweets or packaging.
