Homemade soap
If you're feeling crafty, consider making homemade soap as a party favor. Choose scents and colors that match your event's theme or personalize them with your guests' names.
Photo booth strips
Set up a photo booth at your event and print out copies of the photos for each guest to take home. This fun and personalized party favor can remind guests of the good times they had at your celebration.
Personalized candles
Candles are a classic party favor, but you can make them extra special by adding a personalized touch. Choose scents that match your event's theme or customize the label with a special message for your guests.
Custom coasters
Create a set of custom coasters that reflect the theme of your celebration or include an imprint of the event date and names. This useful favor may grace your guests' tables long after the party has ended.
Seed paper cards
Go green with eco-friendly seed paper cards. Guests can plant these cards post-party and watch as wildflowers or herbs grow, serving as a living memento of your special occasion.
Personalized drinkware
Engrave a sophisticated design or the date of the event onto glassware like wine glasses or mason jars. This favor is functional, memorable, and a keepsake that can be used time and again.
Miniature board games
Offer a playful send-off with mini board games that guests can enjoy with their families at home. This unique favor is perfect for a whimsical party where good spirits and friendly competition are the themes of the day.
Craft kits for kids
When your party includes younger guests, craft kits make an excellent favor. These can be themed to match your celebration and give kids an engaging activity to remember the day by.
Customized Spotify playlists
Curate a playlist that captures the essence of your celebration and share a unique QR code with your guests. When they listen to the tunes, they can reflect on the memorable moments of your party long after the music has stopped.
Artisanal honey jars
Give a favor that's sweet and sustainable by gifting small jars of locally sourced artisanal honey. Add a personalized label to commemorate the event and promote support for local beekeepers and habitats.
