What do you give to guests at a wedding?

Wedding favours are a kind gesture rather than an obligation. Many couples choose something small and useful that guests can take home as a memento. The goal is to thank people for coming, not to burden them with more clutter.

Think about what fits your venue and budget. A small jar of local honey, a packet of seeds, or a homemade treat works well for a rustic or countryside wedding. For a city venue, a candle, a sachet of tea, or a mini bottle of fizz might suit better. You can tie them with a ribbon that matches your colour scheme or attach a tag with each guest's name.

If you would rather not hand out physical items, consider a charitable donation in your guests' names. Some couples also skip favours entirely and instead offer a sweet treat at the end of the evening. Whatever you choose, let it reflect your taste and keep it simple. Guests will remember your warmth, not the object in their bag.
