Wedding Favour Calculator — Quantities & Cost

Wedding favours are traditional but not essential. Many couples now donate to charity instead or skip them entirely. If you do have favours, one per guest or one per couple is standard. Edible favours are the most appreciated as they never go to waste.

Budget £1-£5 per favour. Popular UK options: personalised sweets (£1-£2), small candles (£2-£4), seed packets (£1-£2), miniature bottles of spirits (£3-£5), chocolates (£1-£3). Including packaging and personalised tags typically adds £0.50-£1 per favour.

Top UK wedding favours: personalised chocolates or fudge, mini jars of honey or jam, small succulents, lottery scratch cards, miniature gin bottles, scented candles, seed bombs, and donation cards for a chosen charity.

For edible favours, one per person. For keepsake favours (candles, plants), one per couple is acceptable. Some couples place individual favours as part of the place setting, which requires one per person. One per person is more generous but doubles the cost.
