Wedding Favour Writing: Personalizing Your Guests' Gifts

what to write on wedding favours

Wedding favours are a great way to thank your guests for attending your wedding and to give them a memorable keepsake. From edible treats to personalised gifts, there are endless options to choose from. But what should you write on them?

A common approach is to include the names of the bridal couple and the wedding date. However, you can also add a creative twist with clever quotes, inside jokes, or a playful slogan. For instance, puns related to your names or the venue can be a fun way to celebrate. Alternatively, opt for a romantic quote or lyric that reflects your personality as a couple. If you're feeling extra creative, craft a unique wedding hashtag and include it on the favours for guests to remember.
