One of the best ways to show your guests how much you appreciate having them at your wedding is to gift them with a sweet and sentimental bomboniere. In our opinion, nothing says personal like a handmade DIY wedding favour! Plus, with everyone spending more time at home, now is the perfect time to put your craft skills to the test. Here are some of the most creative DIY wedding favour ideas to delight your guests!
That’s My Jam…
Let’s be honest, we’ve all been getting more creative in the kitchen over the past few months. So, put those new skills to good use and wow your guests with an adorable pot of homemade jam as a bomboniere. Empty jars are really easy to source and making jam is a super simple process… there are only three ingredients! Make this sweet DIY wedding favour even more meaningful by attaching a personalised note to each person’s jar.
Crazy Plant Lady…
Ah, succulents—one of the best things to ever happen to the plant world. These cute little greens are a popular wedding favour and we can see why! All you need to do is buy individual succulents and some bowls or pots that match your wedding theme, add some soil and you’ve got the perfect wedding keepsake.
Let Love Grow…
While we’re on the topic of plants, let your guests unleash their inner green thumb by gifting them a packet of wildflower plant seedlings. Not only is this a super cute gift idea, but it’ll also encourage your guests to enjoy some sunshine and get out in the garden. Alternatively, you could opt for tree seedling wedding favours.
You Are The Music In Me…
If you want to get your guests up on the dance floor and having a good time at your reception, this next wedding favour is perfect for you! Bulk buy a collection of mini tambourines and decorate them with a stamp or a paint pen so that they’ve got a unique flair. Distribute these fun gifts to your guests during the reception and prepare for the best night ever.
Cold Drink Vibes…
A classic DIY wedding favour that we love is personalised coasters! The great thing about this bomboniere idea is that it can be put to good use during the reception and your guests can keep using them when they get home. If you’re having a rustic wedding, opt for a natural wood slice coaster. Or, if your wedding is going to be a sophisticated affair, go for a colourful marble coaster.

Artistic Flair…
You know what’s better than a beautifully painted canvas? An adorable mini painted canvas! For the artistic bride, let inspiration flow through your paintbrush to create a bomboniere that will be truly unique for each guest. To make this idea even more fun, get your bride tribe round before the big day for an arts and crafts evening and get all of your gal pals to unleash their inner Van Gogh or Picasso!
Hug In A Mug…
If you’re tying the knot during the colder months, gift your guests with the perfect winter warmer: a hot chocolate kit! Pick out some cute mason jars and fill them with the yummiest drinking chocolate powder, chocolate chips and marshmallows. Plus, you can include a candy cane if you’re having a Christmas wedding!

Sweet As Can Be…
Candy is the fastest way to a lot of people’s hearts (us included)! So, it makes sense that customised candy is a super popular DIY wedding favour. Decide on a type of candy, order a bulk batch with cute customisation like you and your partner’s initials, and fill some jars with your sweets of choice.

Cheers To That…
The best way to celebrate your new marriage is with champagne! So, gift your wedding guests with a small bottle of bubbly to really get the party started. Take this DIY wedding favour to the next level by decorating each bottle with sequins, glitter and a personalised name tag.
Fortune Teller…
It’s no secret that the best end to a meal is cracking into the fortune cookie! You can order bulk batches of cookies and personalise the fortunes for your guests to create an adorable wedding favour. This sweet gift gets even better when you put each of the fortune cookies in a personalised bag and tie it up with a colourful ribbon.

Cue The Confetti…
A wedding favour that doubles as a cute wedding moment? Yes, please! Put together a mini paper bag of colourful and sparkly confetti for each guest then seal the bag with a personalised wedding card. Encourage your guests to save the confetti for a special moment during the reception so that you can have a magical grand exit.
