We've got seasonal wedding inspiration for those of you planning a winter wedding with these festive winter wedding favour ideas. We've chosen nine fun and functional favour ideas for your guests to take home, all with a wintry or festive theme. Our ideas for simple Christmas wedding favours include items that can easily be DIYed or bought inexpensively at this time of year, either for now or for next year (if you're that organised!). Your guests will love these little tokens, which add an extra special yuletide touch!
Festive Christmas & Winter Wedding Favour Ideas
1. Something Sweet To Eat
Who doesn't love an edible treat? Give your guests fun, festive treats in jars which can be enjoyed after the big day is over. Candy canes, gingerbread men, cookies, peppermint bark, cute s'more treats and even brownie mix jars your guests can bake at home are top of our list. Just how cute are those Naughty n' Nice favour bags filled with candy canes and chocolate "coal"?
2. Something to Drink
From hot chocolate mixes, festive tea, and coffee blends to mini whiskey bottles, mulled wine sachets and sloe gin, why not give your guests a little something they can enjoy after the celebrations are over? Or, for a sparkling toast at a New Year's wedding celebration, leave snipes of Prosecco at each guest's table setting! We have more New Year's Eve wedding favour ideas here.
3. Something To Decorate
Fuel the festive spirit with Christmas decoration favours that guests can bring home and place on their own Christmas tree year after year. These are also great for doubling up as escort and place cards for your guests.
4. Something To Grow
What could be cuter than a mini tree or Christmas tree seeds as a sustainable wedding favour? Your guests can bring these home and decorate or even plant as a reminder of your big day. We have more grow-it-yourself favour ideas here.
5. Something To Keep Cosy
Keep your guests nice and toasty with some winter warmers such as blankets and pashminas, hand warmers, gloves and fuzzy socks. You could even add a sign that reads, "To have and to hold in case you get cold." We also love the pine cone fire starter wedding favours spotted over on Something Turquoise. Place them at each table setting or in a basket for each guest to take on their way home.
6. Something Cracking!
Who doesn't love a Christmas cracker! Or, for a fantastic sustainable option how about creating your very own custom Christmas crackers, individually personalised both inside and out for your guests. Select the individual contents from sweet treats, to alcohol miniatures, craft cocktails or something to match your wedding theme - and then add the name on the outside if you wish. They make for a perfect festive place setting too.
7. Something To Sparkle
Light up the end of your magical night with a festive sparkler or confetti pop send-off! Provide your guests with mini sparklers and add a personalised tag and mini box of matches or, leave a fun confetti popper at their place setting for your first dance or exit. Just make sure to check with the venue first!
8. Something for Their Home
Mini giftable items for their home such as soaps, mugs, winter scented wax melts, keychains, bookmarks, and miniature luxury candles are all sure to impress your guests.
9. Something Pretty & Personalised
Embroidered velvet ribbons, cocktail napkins or pretty personalised napkins they can take home - these items all make for special place settings that will wow, and your guests won’t be able to resist taking the personalised ribbon home with them.
