We have folded three of our older favour round-ups into this one, so everything now sits on a single page. A note on spelling while you are searching: bonbonniere and bomboniere are the same thing, the second sitting closer to the original Italian, and Australian suppliers use both interchangeably. Everything below passes the same test as everything above, which is to say you will not find sugared almonds, a plain candle or a mini bottle of spirits anywhere in it.
A box of two or three in your colour palette. They photograph beautifully on a place setting, which is half the point.
A donut wall doubles as the dessert table and the favour. Guests take one on the way out.
Autumn and winter weddings only, but nothing else on this list looks quite so good in a row.
The dry ingredients layered in a jar with the recipe tied to the lid. They bake it at home and think of you.
For a morning-after crowd. Practical, and the one edible favour that never gets left behind on the table.
Cheap, generous and it disappears. Bag it in something better than cellophane.
Two biscuits, chocolate and a marshmallow in a little box. Works especially well if there is a fire pit.
Small, odd, and the sort of thing people actually keep in a drawer for years.
Get them in a shape that means something to the two of you rather than a generic heart.
A coaster and a frame at once. Slide a photo from the day in later and send it on.
Genuinely useful, which is more than most favours manage.
Keep the design simple. A date and two initials beats a full monogram every time.
For a summer or destination wedding. Hand them out before the ceremony and the photographs improve immediately.
Iced to look like the two of you. Reliably the favour guests photograph before eating.
Late in the night these stop being a gift and become the entertainment.
Printed with the date. Unglamorous, and quietly the most used item on this entire list.
Engraved with something daft. It will end up in a share house and outlive several of the friendships in the room.
Painkillers, electrolytes and something salty. Your guests will forgive the missing candle.
Very Australian, very practical, and they go straight in the fridge and stay there.
