When it comes to wedding favours, there are so many options that it can be challenging to choose the one that’s right for you. Obviously, you want them to be special, and that can make it hard to come to a final decision. You want them to be thoughtful, enjoyed by guests, and look the part on the big day.
It’s no surprise, then, that confectionery is a very popular choice for favours. Whether you opt for truffles or sweets, there is a wide range of beautiful treats that are crying out to be a part of the big day.
Everyone’s big day is different, and there’s no magic formula for picking the right option. But here are a few hints and tips to help get the most out of your wedding sweets.
From chocolates to pick n mix, there are so many wonderful options that can fit the theme of any wedding. Whatever you’re looking for, you’ll be spoilt for choice. So, these are a few of our favourite choices for inspiration.
Just as it is on Valentine’s Day, chocolate is hugely popular on wedding days, too. As wedding favours, foiled chocolates are a brilliant choice. Not only are these as tasty, but you can easily match them to your theme! A standout choice for us is the Kingsway Red Foiled Milk Chocolate Hearts. They look amazing, and with their caramel creme filling, they taste amazing, too. There is also the Silver Foil version if that better suits your colours and theme!
With plenty of heart-shaped options, as well as sweets of all colours, a mini pick n mix is a fun wedding favour. From Haribo Heart Throbs to Swizzels Fun Gums Juicy Lips, it’s very easy to find deliciously suitable pick and mix sweets. If you're looking for the best value and easiest way to share an amazing pick n mix experience, looking to pre-made mixes can save you time, effort and money! You'll find bags like Fizzy Mix and Jelly Mix, whilst the Pick n Mix Station range of 1kg bags can help you get even greater variety. Their range includes themed and colourful mixes that make things even easier.
Retro sweets are as popular nowadays as they ever have been, and there’s one in particular that excels as wedding favour candy. Swizzels Love Hearts are a lovely everyday sweet, but the fizzy candy with a loved-up message is especially fitting for weddings.
Mints are a well-received sweet gift at weddings that can be enjoyed and appreciated there and then. With a lot of eating and drinking throughout the day, a minty favour will be refreshing!
Once you’ve chosen your sweets, you may want to think about how to present them and make them special for the big day. There are plenty of really easy ways to do this, and with a little hands-on creativity, you can personalise your sweet wedding favours and make sure that they are memorable.
If you are separating bulk treats into individual wedding favours, then you’ll need something to put them in. Our Victorian Style Sweet Jars have enough room for an individual pick n mix, some chocolate truffles or even some pieces of fudge. Sold in packs of 40, these offer a great value way to put together favours that have a premium feel. Looking for something smaller and more cost-effective? Something along the lines of these Clear Silver Based Bags may fit the bill then! With these, a little bow of ribbon or a personalised sticker is all it takes to seal them up and have them table-ready.
The time and place of your wedding are very important, so an easy way to dress your favours up for the big day is with personalised stickers. You’ll be able to find no end of reasonably priced, custom stickers for your big day on Etsy, for example. Then, once you’ve chosen the right labels for you, it’s simply a case of adding them to your gifts! This works particularly well with sweets like Tic Tac Fresh Mint and is also great on boxes, bags, and jars that you’ve prepared yourself.
When decorating your wedding favours, you can also make them multi-purpose. If you add a name tag to a jar of sweets, it can function as a place card, too. The same can be said of sweet boxes, and you could easily do it with rolls of sweets, too.
Just like every other aspect of a wedding, you can distribute your wedding favours however you like. Whether they are doubling up as place cards or not, you often find favours set out on the table, so guests receive their sweet gifts shortly before the wedding breakfast is served. It isn’t difficult to incorporate personalised wedding favours into your table decorations, and it is a really sweet touch that guests will appreciate.
If you’d rather not have them on the tables for the meal, you could set up a favour station. With a space dedicated to your gifts for guests, this will shine a light on the efforts you’ve made to say thank you. Again, you can arrange this in any way you see fit. Whether guests pick up favours on the way in or as they leave – it’s up to you!
One of the perks of having a space dedicated to the favours is that it can become another feature of the décor. Given that you’ve chosen confectionery, a really cute way to display them would be on a vintage sweet cart. If you can find one that suits your theme, a cart stocked with personalised sweet jars will look amazing and add character to any wedding reception!
