Spring and summer weddings call for fresh blooms, fruity drinks, and sunshine. But don’t forget another important detail – the wedding favor! This small token of appreciation can go a long way with your special guests.
Wedding favors have evolved over the years, and many couples aim to give their guests something practical and useful (or edible!) If you’re planning a wedding in between April and August, you might find the perfect wedding favor for your guests on this list. Here are seven fun ideas for spring and summer wedding favors that are both memorable and worthwhile. Happy planning!
Something Sweet
As we mentioned above, edible wedding favors are always a sure bet. Whether you have the wedding favors set at each place setting or set by the exit for guests to pick up when they leave, a sweet treat will always be enjoyed! A few ideas for these goodies are custom-wrapped chocolates, floral-inspired cookies, or custom honey jars that make a beautiful presentation.
Love in Full Bloom
A spring wedding celebrates the return of sunshine with flowers and lush greenery. Why not give your guests some of that to go home with? Many couples these days are opting for custom seed kits or blooming kits that are both adorable and practical. Another popular option is to give your guests a mini succulent. These not only look great as part of the table setting, but they are low maintenance and can survive the trip home with your guests. Mini succulents can be purchased in bulk and then wrapped in burlap or adorned with a custom tag with your wedding details!
Catchall Trinket Dish
This fun wedding favor idea has tons of unique styles and options to choose from! Whether you opt for a dish customized with your wedding details, or something more all-purpose, it’s a useful wedding favor that your guests will love. Catchall dishes can also be incorporated into your place setting, or you can fill the dish with a few candies for guests to take home. Be sure to look for deals and buy these trinket holders in bulk or ask about special pricing for large orders if you’re buying from an artist on Etsy.
Under the Boardwalk
Ah summer – the salty smell of the ocean, coconut-scented sunscreen, and boardwalk treats like ice cream and funnel cake. If your wedding is by the beach or you’re simply feeling nostalgic, a boardwalk-themed wedding favor is a fun option for a summertime wedding. A few ideas include popcorn (kettle, caramel, or buttered) in a custom treat bag or nostalgic candy in custom wrappers or bags (think salt water taffy and old-timey treats). Another option to treat your guests with is cotton candy! Whether you have the cotton candy in pre-made custom bags or have someone swirling the cotton candy right before their eyes, this is a sweet treat that’s sure to create lasting memories.
Fun in the Sun
Possibly one of the most sensible wedding favors on the list are these adorable custom sunscreens that can make a great takeaway item for your guests. Especially useful if you’re having an outdoor ceremony or reception, a destination wedding, or saying ‘I do’ during those hot summer months! A custom sunscreen favor lets you add your wedding details to the label, such as names, date, and location. What better way to make sure everyone has fun in the sun?
Custom Koozies
When drinks are flowing, koozies for your guests will be a hit! This wedding favor idea is tried-and-true (and affordable). Plus, it’s an option that both men and women will enjoy during the wedding and long after. For a spring or summer wedding, opt for koozies in bright colors, pastels, or colors that match the theme of your wedding. Many companies let you upload your own design when you place your order, so go with the same design and font as your wedding invitations to keep things cohesive.
Summer in Italy
Does your wedding take inspiration from the Italian Riviera or Amalfi Coast? Even if it doesn’t, these deliciously-lemony favors and savory olive oil favors are sure to be a hit. Custom olive oil bottles are a recent trend that are both practical and beautiful. They make a great addition to your table settings or can be an easy, portable option for guests to take as they exit.
We also love the endless options when it comes to lemon-inspired favors. This fresh and bright scent can be captured in candles, soaps, candies, cookies, or even mini bottles of limoncello! Choose the option that fits your wedding and guests the best, then customize it to make it truly your own.
Custom Coasters
A drink coaster is a functional and fun wedding favor that anyone can enjoy. Your cherished wedding guests will use them time and time again – and think of you each time they do! Coasters come in a variety of options, from colorful, bright tiles that ooze summertime vibes, or earthy custom cork or wooden coasters that are perfect for boho-style or outdoor weddings. Coasters can be made from recycled or sustainable materials, which makes them a perfect option for the environmentally conscious couple.
Flip Flops for the Win
Custom flip flops are a perfect option for wedding favors – especially for the guests who want to dance! After a long day in fancy shoes, comfortable flip flops will be welcomed to party the night away in. These are also an ideal wedding favor for beach, destination, or casual outdoor weddings. Set up a basket of flip flops by the dance floor or place them on each guests’ chair before the night begins. The kids will love them too!
A wedding in the spring or summer is the warmest way to celebrate your love. We hope these wedding favor ideas capture the ambiance of your special day and let your guests know how appreciated they are!
