Make It Personal: Wedding Favor Ideas

Not Sure What Your Personalized Wedding Favor Should Be? Start Here.

Wedding planning comes with a lot of decisions—florals, playlists, seating charts (cue the stress). But when it comes to favors, let’s keep it simple, sweet, and above all—memorable.

Gone are the days of generic trinkets no one really wants. Today’s wedding favors are personal, practical, and—if you’re feeling fancy—customized live, on-site. Think: initials, short names, a little sparkle, and a whole lot of charm. Not sure where to start? Don’t worry. I’ve got you.

Here are some of the most popular, guest-approved wedding favors that can be personalized on the spot during your big day:

1. Bottle Openers

Classic. Handy. And let’s be honest, everyone loves a favor that actually gets used. Add initials on-site and your guests will be cracking open memories for years to come.

2. Glassware

Whether it’s a shot glass, champagne coupe, wine glass, or a bougie little cognac sniffer—glassware is a forever favorite. Engraving a name or monogram during the event gives it that chef’s kiss touch.

3. Keychains

Perfectly portable, endlessly personal. Engraved keychains are the kind of favor that finds a place in your guests’ everyday life. Plus, they’re fun to watch being personalized live!

4. Paper Fans

Getting married under the sun? A personalized paper fan keeps things cool and cute. A single initial or short name makes it feel like more than just a breeze.

5. Mini Spirit Bottles

Tiny bottle of your favorite cocktail or spirit? Yes, please. Add initials on-site and suddenly it’s not just a drink—it’s a keepsake worthy of a toast.

6. Candles

A little flame, a lot of love. Customize the vessel with your guest’s initials and you’ve got a favor that smells amazing andfeels special.

7. Coasters

Practical, stylish, and easy to engrave on the go. Guests will love using them long after the last dance (and probably tag you when they do).

8. Embroidered Handkerchiefs or Scarves

Elegant and sentimental. Add a little hand-lettered tag with a name or initials, and suddenly it’s not just fabric—it’s a forever favor.

9. LUGGAGE TAGS A stylish and practical favor—especially for destination weddings or travel-loving couples. A sleek tag personalized with a guest’s initials or name on-site is more than just a nice touch; it’s a keepsake they’ll actually use. Think of it as a little passport to memory lane—every time they jet off, they'll be reminded of your special day. Choose from leather, faux leather, or acrylic styles to match your wedding vibe. Whether it's a beachside ceremony or a ballroom soirée, customized luggage tags are the kind of favor that blends function with flair—no lost bags, just lasting memories.

So...What Should You Choose?

Here’s the truth: wedding favors should reflect you. Whether you’re all about glam, keeping it coastal, or throwing a laid-back bash with signature drinks and a killer playlist, there’s a favor that fits your vibe—and makes your guests feel like part of the magic.

And with live personalization (just a name or some chic initials), you’re not just giving them a favor…you’re giving them a moment. A little wow-factor. A gift they’ll use and remember—and probably post on Instagram.
