Wedding Favour Bags – 5 Ideas For Filling Wedding Favour Bags On A Budget

Wedding favour bags are available in an array of colours, styles and materials. They can look really great on a wedding table and can add a touch of colour to compliment your wedding theme and your choice of wedding table decorations. They are also a great option if you are on a tight budget, but still want to provide wedding favours for your guests that will look elegant. So if you have decided to use wedding favour bags, you just need to decide what to fill them with! I have outlined some ideas for you in this article that might just provide a little inspiration.

Idea 1

Confectionery – There are many options to choose from including the traditional sugared almonds, chocolate truffles , candy coated chocolate hearts, retro sweets, jelly beans and more. Organza bags can be easily filled with the confectionary of your choice and you can also easily provide separate favours for adults and children.

Idea 2

Miniature Drinks – You may choose to provide a miniature bottle of Bailey’s, Brandy, Whiskey or indeed another tipple of your choice for your guests and present them in wedding favour bags.

Idea 3

Candles – small votive candles or floating candles can be nicely presented in wedding favour bags. You can always add a little confetti or some crystals to your bag for added impact.

Idea 4

Homemade Cookies – If you are a whizz in the kitchen or better still if you can find a volunteer who is, you could provide a little bag of miniature biscuits or cookies for your guests. You could choose a traditional shortbread and if you really want to make it special, you can use a heart shaped cookie cutter to shape your cookies and you can dip half the cookie in chocolate. Another idea would be to create Bride and Groom Gingerbread figures.

Idea 5

You could create a small scroll with a poem, a quote or perhaps the story of how you met. Whether you choose a style that will bring a tear to your guest’s eyes or a smile to their faces is up to you. You might also like to add one of the above items to the bag also.

There are many, many items you can use to fill wedding favour bags as gifts for your guests. The above is just a small sample of what you can use. The great advantage of using wedding favour bags is that they are budget friendly, easy to assemble, versatile and they will even multitask as both gifts for your guest and wedding table decorations.
