Wedding favours are a sweet way to thank your guests—but they don’t have to be expensive or generic. In fact, some of the most memorable favours are handmade with love. If you’re planning a UK wedding and want to keep costs down while adding a personal touch, these DIY wedding favour ideas will delight your guests.
1. Mini Jars of Local Honey or Jam
Support local producers or make your own! Add custom labels and a cute ribbon for a rustic, country-chic vibe.
2. Homemade Candles
Soy wax candles in small jars are always a hit. Personalise with your wedding date and scent—lavender or eucalyptus for a classic UK touch.
3. Seed Packets
Perfect for eco-friendly weddings, wildflower or herb seeds encourage guests to “plant love” at home. Bonus: They double as décor on your tables.
4. Flavoured Tea or Coffee Blends
Create sachets of Earl Grey, fruit infusions, or artisan coffee blends. Wrap them in kraft paper for a stylish, low-cost favour.
5. Sweet Treats in Pretty Packaging
From homemade shortbread biscuits to fudge, edible favours are always a crowd-pleaser. Tie with twine for that rustic UK wedding feel.
6. Personalised Mini Bottles
Fill small glass bottles with gin, whisky, or infused spirits—a nod to British heritage. Add a tag with your names for a polished finish.
7. Bath Salts or Soaps
DIY lavender bath salts or handmade soaps are perfect for guests to unwind post-wedding. Package in reusable jars or paper wraps for a sustainable touch.
Why DIY Favours Work
They’re budget-friendly, personal, and sustainable—and they show your guests you’ve put thought into every detail.
