12 Festive Wedding Favours

Inspiration

Lets be honest, we’ve all gotten one; a wedding favour that is pretty rubbish, but no matter how unimaginative that favour is, we all get a pang of guilt the moment we go to throw it out! Make sure your wedding guests don’t have to feel this by giving them a wedding favour that is unique, quirky and fun!

If you’re getting hitched in the month of December, why not opt for a Christmas inspired wedding favour? Here’s our 12 favourite festive favours that will have your guests smiling for years!

At more than €6 per piece, these personalised copper hanging hearts may well be a bit too much for all your guests, but why not give them to your top table? Your bridesmaids would just them for their Christmas trees! Available from Little Red Robin on Folksy.

And for the DIY bride, these homemade snow globes are perfectly adorable. (We don’t know anybody who doesn’t love a snow globe.) Apart from the price of some ‘snow’ and the bottle brush trees, these favours are practically free!

Sweets will always go down well, but give yours a festive touch with these Rudolph slices of rock, available from Favour Fairy. Or maybe some classic shortbread is more your thing? We love these shortbread initials from the Shortbread Gift Company, but we have a feeling that whipping up a batch yourself would be within some reader’s baking skills?!

Lavender cracker wedding favours

Christmas just wouldn’t be Christmas without crackers, now would it?! We really love these classy mini lavender crackers from Not On The High Street. Each cracker is filled with five little chocolates.

Fancy caring for the world by growing your own Christmas tree? These seed papers will transform into a tree with some love and attention, and if you’re very green fingered, has the potential to grow to 25 metres tall! Available from Not On The High Street.

Funky Christmas baubles

We’re pretty set on these funky oversized baubles from Not On The High Street!

Christmas gingerbread men and candy can crayons – perfect for the little guests amongst your party! Available from Nikel Cards on Etsy.

Tasty food products always goes down well at weddings. If you fancy yourself as a bit of a Jamie Oliver, why not make your own chutney for guests to enjoy with their turkey leftovers?

Table centre idea and wedding favours? Yip, mix the two by leaving a ‘grab it yourself’ box of goodies. Candy canes are an obvious choice for Christmas celebrations.

Left: Good old Butlers Chocolates! They can be sure to have just the right treat to make your guests happy, like the chocolate Christmas decorations above.

Right: Gingerbread cookies, iced with sparkly icing? Yes please! We love these snowflake cookies which can’t be that hard to make?..
