What are wedding favours guests want?

If you are looking for unique wedding favours for guests for your big day, you have come to the right place.

We have a lot of fantastic ideas for you!

Coming up with great wedding gifts for guests can be tricky, especially if you are on a tight budget.

Find a wedding favour that will be used and not thrown out.

Whether you are here looking for cheap wedding gifts for guests or something unique, we have a few ideas you can steal below.

What is a wedding favour and do you need them?

A wedding favour is something that wedding couples give their guests to thank them for attending and celebrating their fabulous day!

It’s just a show of appreciation, especially if they gifted you with cash.

But do you need them?

Are they worth it?

After all, you are feeding your guests and sharing expensive things with them to experience you and your significant other tying the knot!

Proper etiquette requires you to give them a little thank you for attending your big day.

Giving favours to guests is something that dates back to the 16th century!

As you can see, it is an ancient tradition.

These favours can also cost a lot of money.

To ensure you can afford them, you must include them in your wedding budget.

A quick wedding budget checklist such as this will help determine if you can afford to give everyone wedding favours; I recommend our Ultimate Wedding Budget bundle.

It’s designed to meet all your wedding planning needs and ensure you cover all your wedding expenses leaving little to no surprises.

Making a budget for your wedding can help you avoid spending more than you planned.

Creative Wedding favours ideas for guests

Before looking up wedding favours, you need to consider your wedding budget!

This step is critical as you can easily spend $1K or even more.

Weddings can be expensive even for your guests.

It’s a good idea to set a reasonable wedding budget using these templates to ensure you never exceed what you can afford.

However, if your wedding budget does not allow it, you can skip wedding favours altogether!

Unnecessary wedding expenses can easily creep up if you don’t keep tabs on your budget.

Honestly, I have seen couples spend a lot of money on these and guests not take them at the end of the night.

It is essential to get favours that guests will want and/or use; otherwise, it’s a total waste of money.

There are many amazing places where you can find unique wedding favours and especially budget-friendly ideas.

Shop cheap wedding gifts for guests:
