Read the post →Mini jam jars had a good run. But if you've been scrolling wedding inspiration lately, you've probably noticed favours are getting smaller, more personal, and more likely to actually go home with your guests instead of being left on the table.
Here's what's trending this year, and a few ways to make each one feel like it belongs to your day specifically.
A guest's initial or name on a favour — a wax seal, a tag, a small charm — turns a throwaway item into a keepsake. It's a small detail that's easy to add with a cutting machine and makes a favour feel considered rather than bought in bulk.
Favours that double as something guests will actually use — a personalised matchbook, a mini candle, a seed packet — are outperforming purely decorative trinkets this year.
Instead of one favour design for every guest, couples are matching the wrapping to each table's accent colour, so the reception tables photograph as one cohesive scene.
"The favour doesn't need to be expensive — it needs to feel like it was made for this wedding, not any wedding."
A script font on a small tag is an easy, low-cost way to add a handmade feel, especially when it's paired with a guest's name.
Seed paper, recycled card, and reusable containers are showing up more often, as couples look for favours that don't end up in the bin the next morning.
