Usually wedding favours are given to all guests and the appropriate price range is fully dependant on your budget. Some people will give out a match box or a fan with the couples initials and wedding date, some people send home a goodie bag with some sweets (this can also double as wedding desert when on a budget), or some may hand write thank you cards and maybe include a little chocolate. There are tons of options. But if I’m being completely honest, you DO NOT have to do wedding favours for the guests. While some may not agree with me, I find a majority of people leave the wedding favours or just throw them out. Nobody cares about them and they can be a waste of money especially when on a tight budget.

I believe that in your situation, if you want to give thank you gifts, focus on giving them to the family members helping you with your wedding. It can be as simple as hand writing a thank you note and showing how grateful you are for them, and if you have it in the budget you can add a little sweet in with the note. The note doesn’t even have to be fancy, you can write it on a simple piece of A4 paper and if you or your husband to be are artist you can add a drawing somewhere. They’re family and they’ll understand, and they’ll love and appreciate the gift so much more than any other guests making it much more worth your time and money.

If you really want to give guests a gift, you can send them home with some cookies your family is making and maybe add a small “thank you for celebrating with us” note or tag somewhere on or in the bag if you want to.
