To help you keep your wedding budget in check, we picked out 10 wedding favours – ranging from edible yummies to daily must-haves – under $10 that are certain to wow your guests.
It’s no secret that weddings can cost a bomb. One way to save some pennies is by having cheap but chic wedding favours – if you know where to look.
Honey, jam or kaya jars
Confession: When miniature jars first appeared on the wedding scene, we fell for them hook, line, and sinker. Honey and jam jars are a popular choices for rustic ‘dos, but if you’re looking to incorporate local flavour to your wedding, A Love Knot offers pandan kaya ones too. All jars can be customised with stickers and paired with delicate burlap bags. Prices start at $1.50 for each small hexagon or round jar, with a minimum of 100 orders. Available from A Love Knot.
Floral tins
Reminiscent of traditional English biscuit or tea tins, these customisable floral tins are the perfect complement to any garden-themed wedding. Choose between a pre-existing package of floral teas (starting from $3.50 each) or personalise the contents with chocolates or candy of your choice. Minimum order of 30 tins required. Available from Favor Atelier.
Candy bottles
Got a sweet tooth? Then you’ll love this. Send your guests home with a personalised vintage cork bottle of sweet treats; fill it up with M&Ms or chocolate-covered sunflower seeds and customise it with your names or fave quotes. Bottles are priced at $3 each, with a minimum order of 30. Available from Do Me a Favour.
Key-shaped bottle openers

Candles
Considered a classic wedding favour, candles are a no-fail option for even the fussiest of guests – that is, if you pick the right design and scent. For a candle your guests will be inclined to actually use at home (imagine that!), stick to simple yet gorgeous designs like these floral-themed ones from W for Wedding. Priced at $2.90 a pop, with minimum order of 30. Available from W for Wedding.
Macarons
What’s not to love about macarons? They’re sweet, bite-sized, and best of all , they’re so pretty on their own – no extravagant packaging needed. Make your elegant soirée one to remember with these sweet treats from Ola Lola with luxe touches of gold dust and unique fillings (ondeh-ondeh flavour, anyone?). Available from Ola Lola.
