Easily overlooked or left to the last minute, wedding favours are the perfect finishing touch to your big day. The tradition actually dates back to the French, who are credited with introducing the custom of gifting guests at weddings, and what started as a small box of sugar has evolved into something far more creative. As a wedding guest in 2026, you might find anything from candied almonds and personalised chocolates to seed packets and tiny bottles of whisky waiting at your place setting. In this article, we answer the question 'what are favours?', and offer some ideas and inspiration to help you find yours.

The wedding of 2026 is a far cry from what it once was. For many couples, the celebration of marriage has become a fully considered, multi-sensory experience. We're not exaggerating! Every gorgeous detail is chosen with intention. Some seek out bespoke scents for their ceremony, spend hours refining the visual brand of their stationery suite, and think very carefully about the overall flow and the feeling of the day; from the first guest's arrival to the last song of the night. Not every couple goes to these lengths, nor should they. But many today are thinking about their wedding in a way previous generations simply didn't. With wedding stationery taking a front seat in the development of the 'wedding experience', we take a good look at just why this is happening, and is if it's actually worth it!

Meanwhile, others prefer totally toned down language. Regardless of how you like to describe or represent your love, there is a quote out there to summarise all kinds of relationships.
