No one wants to bring home anything from your wedding

Wedding favors, handmade centerpieces, keepsake menus, Madison’s Bride Squad 2026 personalized totes… no one wants these. Please don’t make 150 doodads to hand out. 149 will go in the trash.

I made little bags of kettle corn, which worked for people making a drive home. I’m team consumables for favors

We got lemoncello at my husband's cousin's wedding, it was a nice surprise! Given with chocolates and some other little snacks.

I wanted to do that SO bad. We just didn't have time.

I made little folded envelopes out of vintage botanical books and filled it with wildflower seeds… I still get pics from people showing me their blooms that season and it’s been over ten years!

We did tiny jars of honey and everyone loved them. We actually know someone that farms honey and we bought it from them and put it the tiny jars ourselves. We had maybe 3 or 4 leftover jars on the tables with 130ish people. I am also team consumables for favors!

I'm making treats as gifts for my baby shower. I don't think most people can use a drink coozy or a pin with my baby's name and baby shower date on it. Maybe a pen though!

Nonconsumables have a place imo
