Candle Wedding Favors

A candle is one of the safest bets for a favor your guests keep, because it earns a spot on a nightstand or bathroom shelf long after the wedding. Personalize the label with your names and date, and every time it gets lit your guests remember your day. Candles suit almost any theme, from rustic barns to modern ballrooms.

Browse the full range in candle wedding favors.

  • Rustic Candle Tins ($3). A cozy tin candle that fits barn, garden, and fall weddings, easy to stack in a favor display.
  • When Stars Collide Candle Favor ($4). A celestial label for couples who love a starlit theme, personalized with your names.
  • Orchid Tealight Holder ($7). A frosted glass holder that doubles as decor, a step up for guests you want to spoil.

Bottle Opener Favors

A bottle opener is the favor that lives in a kitchen drawer for years. Our designs come in polished shapes your guests keep reaching for, and each one can be tied to a thank-you tag with your names. They travel well in a favor basket by the door, so guests grab one on the way out.

Mason Jar Favors

Mason jars bring a warm, homespun feel and they work double duty. Fill them with candy or a mini succulent for the reception, and guests take home a jar they use for shots, sips, or storage. Add your names and date to the glass and the favor becomes a small keepsake rather than a throwaway.

Nature & Botanical Favors

For garden, boho, and outdoor weddings, botanical favors carry the theme all the way through. Greenery, florals, and natural finishes feel personal and photograph beautifully on a favor table. These pieces suit couples who want their favors to match the flowers and the setting.

  • Boho Bliss ($4). A greenery-wrapped candle favor made for boho and garden celebrations.
  • Gold Compass Wedding Favor ($21). A keepsake compass for the couple who loves travel, a standout gift for the head table or wedding party.

Bubbles & Classic Send-Off Favors

Bubbles are the favor that doubles as your exit photos. Guests line the aisle, blow a cloud of bubbles as you walk out, and your photographer catches the whole thing. At about a dollar each they are one of the friendliest picks for a large guest list, and the classic collection has a few timeless favors to pair with them.

Find them in classic wedding favors.

Personalized Playing Card Favors

Personalized playing cards are the favor guests genuinely reach for again, whether it is a card game on the honeymoon or a road trip later on. Print your names and date on the box, choose a design that matches your theme, and you have a favor that fits any place setting and any age at the table.

The playing card designs live in nature wedding favors.

  • Floral Garden Party ($4). A floral deck for garden and spring weddings, personalized on the box.
  • Starry Night ($4). A celestial deck that pairs with a starlit or evening theme.
  • Love Wreath ($4). A greenery-wreath deck with a soft, romantic look for the favor table.

How Many Wedding Favors Should I Order?

Order one favor per guest, then add about 10 percent extra. The buffer covers last-minute plus-ones, a few favors that get damaged in transit, and the couple who wants to keep one as a memento. Here is the quick formula.

  • Confirmed guest count, for example 120 guests.
  • Add 10 percent, so 120 becomes 132.
  • Round up to a clean number, so order 135.

If you are still finalizing your list, order to your invited count rather than your RSVP count, since favors keep and leftover pieces make sweet thank-you notes for vendors and helpers.

Wedding Favor FAQs

How many wedding favors should I order?
Plan for one favor per guest plus about 10 percent extra. On a 100-guest wedding that means roughly 110 favors. The cushion covers surprise plus-ones, shipping mishaps, and a keepsake or two for yourselves. Ordering to your invited count rather than your final RSVP count is the safest way to avoid coming up short.

Can favors be personalized with our names and date?
Yes. Most of our favors can carry your first names and wedding date, and many let you add a short thank-you line. Personalizing the label or tag is what turns a favor into a keepsake your guests hold onto, so it is worth the extra step even on the budget-friendly picks.

How far ahead should I order wedding favors?
Order six to eight weeks before the wedding. That leaves room for personalization, production, and shipping, plus a little breathing space if you want to adjust the count after RSVPs land. For large orders or peak wedding season, aim closer to eight weeks so nothing feels rushed.

Are these favors a good choice for a bulk order?
Yes. Our favors are built for buying in bulk to thank a full guest list, with many pieces priced around $1 to $8 each. Ordering by the collection keeps the look consistent across every table and makes checkout simple when you need dozens of the same favor.
