    15 Fun & Modern Wedding Favours Your Guests Won’t Forget

     

    Gone are the days of sugared almonds and trinkets left behind on the table—today’s couples are embracing wedding favours that are fun, quirky, and memorable. Your favours are one of the last touches your guests will experience from your big day, so why not make them something worth talking about? Modern wedding favours are all about personality—gifts that surprise, delight, and sometimes even make your guests laugh. From edible treats with a cheeky twist to keepsakes they’ll actually use, here are 15 fun wedding favour ideas your guests won’t forget.

     

    1. Mini Cocktail Kits

    Give your guests the gift of a party-to-go with mini cocktail kits. These stylish kits usually come stocked with all the essentials—think mixers, garnishes, and even a stir stick—so guests just need to add their favourite spirit and ice. You can customise them to reflect your signature drink as a couple, like a gin and tonic, mojito, or spicy margarita. It’s fun, practical, and guarantees your guests will think of your wedding the next time they shake up a cocktail at home.

    2. “Morning After” Recovery Kits

    Every wedding needs a good dance floor, and with it comes the inevitable sore feet and morning-after headaches. A recovery kit makes for a playful yet practical favour. Fill cute pouches with Berocca or electrolyte sachets, mints, mini water bottles, and even fun extras like sunglasses or an eye mask. Add a cheeky personalised tag such as “In sickness and in health” or “Love may cure all, but this helps too.” It’s a thoughtful way to show your guests you care, long after the party ends.

    3. Personalised Temporary Tattoos

    Why not bring some lighthearted fun to your reception with custom temporary tattoos? You could have designs of your initials, wedding logo, or even caricatures of you and your partner. Guests can apply them straight away on the dance floor, adding a festival-like vibe to your night. It’s quirky, interactive, and makes for hilarious photos. Temporary tattoos also double as a fun keepsake that guests—especially the younger ones—can enjoy the next day. This is one favour that will have everyone talking long after the wedding.

    4. Custom Playing Cards

    For couples who love games nights, custom playing cards are a quirky and creative wedding favour that doubles as a practical keepsake. You can personalise the deck with your names, wedding date, or even fun trivia and illustrations that reflect your personalities. Guests will love pulling out their deck during card games with family and friends, always reminded of your special day. It’s a unique idea that feels thoughtful and personal, while also guaranteeing guests receive something useful that won’t gather dust.

    5. Snack Attack Packs

    Not all favours need to be serious or sentimental—sometimes the most memorable gifts are edible. Create “Snack Attack Packs” filled with treats your guests will crave after hours of dancing. Think mini bags of gourmet popcorn, packets of chips, chocolate bars, or even lollies. Add playful personalised labels like “Love at first bite” or “Thanks for poppin’ by.” These wedding favours are guaranteed to disappear fast and will have your guests smiling when they find a little midnight snack waiting for them.

    6. Quirky Socks

    Who doesn’t love a good pair of novelty socks? They’re fun, quirky, and surprisingly useful, making them a perfect modern wedding favour. You could go all out and have socks custom-printed with your faces, initials, or wedding date, or keep it cheeky with slogans like “Danced all night at [Your Name’s] Wedding.” They’re sure to get a laugh when your guests first open them and will continue to bring smiles every time they’re worn afterwards. It’s a practical yet playful way to say thank you.

    7. Tiny Potted Chillies

    Move over succulents—spice up your favours with tiny chilli plants. These little potted beauties are easy to care for and grow, and they’ll serve as a fun, living reminder of your wedding day. Attach a quirky tag with a line like “Our love is hot” or “Let love grow.” Guests can take them home, nurture them, and enjoy their homegrown chilli long after the celebration. It’s a memorable and eco-friendly option that’s a little different from the traditional wedding plant favour.

    8. Scratchies with a Twist

    Want to give your guests a thrill? Pop a lottery scratch card into an elegant envelope stamped with “We hit the jackpot.” Scratchies are quirky and exciting favours because they add an element of surprise—guests may just walk away with more than happy memories! For a stylish touch, present them in personalised holders featuring your names or wedding crest. It’s fun, low-maintenance, and guaranteed to spark conversation at your reception as everyone scratches theirs at once to see who’s the lucky winner.

    9. Polaroid Keepsakes

    Nothing captures the magic of your wedding like candid photos. Set up a polaroid station or hand your bridal party instant cameras to snap guests throughout the day. Then, give each guest a polaroid photo of themselves as their wedding favour. Add a personalised touch with a frame, doodle, or caption written by you and your partner. It’s a quirky and sentimental idea rolled into one—guests will walk away with a one-of-a-kind keepsake that instantly takes them back to your celebration.

    10. Mini Hot Sauce Bottles

    Turn up the heat with custom-labelled mini bottles of hot sauce as your favours. Whether your guests are spice lovers or not, these quirky gifts add a fiery twist to your thank-yous. Personalise them with labels like “Things are heating up” or your wedding date. For an extra touch, choose a hot sauce that reflects your cultural background or favourite cuisine. It’s a memorable gift that people will actually use in their kitchens, long after your wedding day is over.

    11. Personalised Sleep Masks

    After a night of dancing, your guests will definitely appreciate the gift of sleep. Personalised sleep masks are a quirky but luxe wedding favour idea. You can embroider them with fun lines like “Do not disturb, I just danced all night” or simply add your initials and date for a chic finish. Perfect for travel, honeymoons, or lazy Sunday mornings, these masks balance practicality with humour. It’s a unique gift that feels pampering, playful, and guaranteed to bring smiles well beyond the big day.

    12. Couple’s Comic Strips

    For something truly one-of-a-kind, commission a local artist to create a short comic strip of your love story. It could highlight how you met, your first date, or a funny milestone along the way. Printed in vibrant colours and packaged as favours, these quirky keepsakes will wow your guests and give them a personal glimpse into your journey as a couple. It’s unique, creative, and a true talking point that feels like a piece of art—something far beyond traditional wedding favours.

    13. Edible Cookie Place Cards

    Combine your seating chart with a sweet treat by replacing traditional name cards with edible cookies iced with each guest’s name. It’s quirky, delicious, and doubles as both a table setting detail and a wedding favour. Guests will love the surprise of finding their place card is something they can actually eat—and they’ll probably post it to Instagram before taking the first bite! You can choose colours that match your theme and even add playful designs for an extra whimsical touch.

    14. “Love Potion” Miniatures

    For a favour that’s equal parts quirky and chic, gift guests with tiny bottles of “love potion.” These can be filled with your signature cocktail, a local spirit, or even kombucha for a non-alcoholic twist. Add creative labels with lines like “Sip responsibly” or “Bottled with love.” Presented in sleek glass bottles, these favours are both fun and practical, giving your guests something delicious to enjoy after the celebration. It’s a playful way to extend the joy of your wedding into the days beyond.

    15. Wedding-Themed Crossword Puzzles

    Add a fun and interactive element to your reception with custom crossword puzzles featuring clues about your relationship, your bridal party, or even inside jokes. Printed beautifully and given as favours, they’re a fun way for guests to learn more about your love story while enjoying a bit of friendly competition. For couples who want to keep their guests entertained, these puzzles are perfect for sparking conversations at tables and creating a memorable, unique keepsake to take home.

     

    Wedding favours don’t have to be predictable to be memorable. By leaning into fun, quirky, and modern ideas, you can give your guests something that truly reflects your personality as a couple. Whether it’s a chilli plant they’ll nurture at home, a scratchie with the chance to win big, or a cookie place card that doubles as dessert, these favours bring joy, laughter, and lasting memories. The best wedding favours are the ones that surprise your guests, make them smile, and remind them of the love and celebration they shared on your special day.
