Wedding Favours

We're having a sweetie table, pick'n'mix style, so if people want a favour they can take home sweeties

I've been to a wedding where the adults got £1 scratchcards. They can be thrown if they are losing tickets and aren't a burden to carry if they are winners

I would be chuffed with a lottery ticket, especially a Euro one.

I don't really get the whole sweetie table thing at all.

We got married in Blackpool, and had "Just Married" rock pieces for our favours - cheap, cheerful, themed and only about 3 left over at the end of the night!

Can anyone give me any ideas / inspiration for wedding favours?

We will have 35 guests and ideally don't want to spend more that £2 pp

Thanks!

I have chosen to have sparklers as favors - we are hoping to have them lit in the evening as they'll make some incredible photos!

You can see some example photographs on pinterest, I think it's a great way to share in the enjoyment of the favor with the guests and it's extremely cheap! We have found somewhere selling 120 sparklers for just £60

We're doing silly "party bags" for our lot. Like you used to get when you were a kid with a couple of retro sweets sweets, some party poppers, bubbles etc. Nothing you have to cart home as such as it can all be used on the day plus it's a bit of fun.

I think I'm going to give a £3 donation for each guest to my local children's hospice. I have emailed them to ask if they can give me pin badges to attach to a personalised card for each table place

We had mini perfumes/aftershaves

Holepunched the packets they came on and attached a Thank you for sharing our day label.

They ranged from 50p to £1 each depending on where we bought them from

We bought a brand of aftershave/perfume that matched our colourscheme

I would warn against lottery/scratch cards - I have to say if I received one of these at a wedding I'd be pretty offended - gambling is against my religion, and I certainly wouldn't want to receive something associated with gambling as a gift or a favour - so unless you know that everyone would be alright with it, I would choose something less likely to offend
