Weddings are more fun with merch. Or snacks. Probably merch and snacks.

Wedding favors often find themselves on the tail-end of wedding "to-do" lists, but they can be one of the things guests remember most about your special day. You might want a thank-you gift that stands out from the crowd (custom temporary tattoos? Why not!), or you may be looking for a classic gift that matches the elegance of your ceremony. If you're having an outdoor wedding, maybe even more practical gifts, like a blanket or sunglasses, which just might save the day when the weather is unpredictable. Planning a wedding is hard work. Here's a wedding gift from me to you — I've done the research and found wedding favors that have been real hits with reviewers, brides, grooms, and guests alike. 

This is a great choice if you'd like to have your favors taken care of early, because the fresh milk chocolate has a one-year shelf life! You can choose between gold or silver foil and personalize them with your names and the date of your wedding on a pretty custom label. 

Belle Gifts Store is a small business with nearly five thousand reviews on Etsy, so you know you can trust them with your special day. The place is a hit! 

Store these in a cool, dry, and dark place at 60–68 degrees F.

Promising reviews: "They were a pleasure to work with and were very quick to respond. The custom chocolates looked and tasted amazing. It was a very quick turnaround. Perfect wedding favors!" —Rynelle

"The best packaging I’ve ever gotten from Etsy! Packaged super well and even had two separate chocolates that said 'This one is for you.' 🥹 Such a sweet gesture! Came super fast and I loved the quality of the product as a whole!" —Stacey Brewster 

Get them on sale from Belle Gifts Store on Etsy for $56.94+ (originally $94.90+; available in two foil colors and in 50–300 pieces — with or without a custom box).

Make your wedding the coziest dang day of your guests' year with this particularly thoughtful gift. If your outdoor wedding is during spring's unpredictable weather, at sunset as the temperature starts to chill, at a breezy beach or mountainside, or on an autumnal afternoon, these blankets are a great way to say "We've got you covered. Literally." Folks will appreciate the gesture on the day and have a gift worth keeping around after. 

Promising review: "My daughter's wedding was in November in Texas, so it could be cold or hot, and we didn’t take a chance. It was cold that day, and these blankets did not disappoint. They were warm, cozy, and soft wedding favors." —Rosie Davila

Get a pack of 24 from Amazon for $61.20+ (available in eight colors and a variety pack).

These match boxes are so pretty, I'm trying to come up with an event worthy of this party favor! Feeling like I made a big mistake getting married 13 years ago when these weren't around (maybe for our 20th). The color palette for these creates a rustic, old-school touch that is equal parts nostalgic and timeless. "The perfect match" phrase is the most sophisticated of wedding puns, if you ask me, and adds a little whimsy to a killer, cute party favor.

Spark The Day is a US-based small biz specializing in custom bulk match boxes for special events. You can get custom illustrations, use pictures, or choose from a variety of aesthetically pleasing designs.

Promising review: "Great customer service and customization. They delivered, and the quality is even better than expected. Five stars." —Madison

Get 50 from Spark The Day on Etsy for $91.12 (available in four colors, a custom color, and up to 500 boxes).

Small tea candles are the practical-meets-pretty choice you really can't beat. There's room for three unique lines on the custom topper, which is pretty open for wedding favors, which often limit choices to a specific list of phrases. The choice is yours, though I'm a sucker for the "Love on Fire" featured on the first line, the couple's names on the second, and the date on the third. 

White Confetti Box is a small business based in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, that specializes in personalized modern gift boxes. 

Promising review: "Cannot believe how quickly these came! I ordered 200 to give out as wedding favors, and they were delivered within a few days. Exactly as pictured, and they smell good too! I was worried that the 2-ounce would be too small, but they are the perfect size, and I definitely am happy with my purchase!!" —Michelle Makowski

Get a set of 10 2-ounce candles from White Confetti Box on Etsy for $25+ (available in 41 sticker colors for the lid, two or four ounces, and in larger quantities).

If you'd like your guests to go home with something they'll want to keep, a mini succulent just might be your perfect pick. Not only does it make for a fun favor, it also adds to your own decorative florals. Just picture how pretty these would look on a grab-and-go table or at each guest's dinner plate. If you'd like to create a similar vibe to the image above, grab a decorative plant stake and some burlap.

Promising review: "I got my plants last night, and opened them this morning to find four warm and cozy succulents ready to be planted. The heat pack that was included in the box was still warm, and since they were packaged so well, it didn't look like much shifting had happened in transit. The soil was perfectly loose, which made them easy to take out and replant, and I can't wait to see how they do!" —Alexis Russell

Get a pack of 100 from Amazon for $149.99 (available in several pack sizes).

These are the adorable, memorable party favors your guests are gonna be talking about every time your guests go to a (ahem, lesser) wedding. They are somehow quirky *and* super chic — those clear boxes and simple "Mrs." and "Mr." sticker seals really are the perfect amount of decor, so you don't have to feel the need to add anything. The champagne bears are covered in tart sugar crystals to give them an extra-bubbly texture. Delicious.

Get a pack of 10 boxes from Sugarfina for $85 (also available in Mr. Bears).

Or if you'd like a thriftier but equally unique choice, grab these decorative snack bags and set up a candy table at your wedding (add your names, date, and other personalization in the "notes to seller" box during checkout). Swedish gummies are all the rage right now — why not put together a table with scoops and let folks build their own candy bag? You could mix and match a sweet and salty setup that'd take basically no effort on your part, thanks to these darling custom bags. Forget an open bar...I want an open candy shop.

VintageLee Crafted is a small business based in Cheboygan, Michigan, that sells favor bags, stickers, labels, and digital invitations.

Get it from VintageLee Crafted on Etsy for $1.20+ (available in packs of up to 400 bags).

Some of us wish we could dress every guest at our wedding, just to make sure they look... right. Take advantage of your wedding day power by providing these sunglasses as your wedding favors. They're available in black and white *and* they are a genuinely thoughtful way to show your guests you've thought about them during an outdoor wedding.

Promising review: "I was so shocked when I opened the package and felt these amazing, real, adult sunglasses!! They are super cool looking — just like Tom Cruise wore in Risky Business.

These are another great selection if you'd like your guests to go home with something they'll actually use.

If you love the idea of sparklers but you're at a venue that won't allow fire, this is gonna be the pretty solution for you! It's also a great pick if you'd like a grand wedding exit with your guests, but aren't allowed to use anything that has to be cleaned off the ground. They're detailed with ribbon, lace, bells, and little fairy lights. Give your guests this fun wedding favor and know that your wedding reception photos are going to be out-of-this-world lovely thanks to this added magic. And for the guests who are often forgotten at weddings...kids are sure to be utterly delighted with this gift.

Promising review: "We used these for a wedding send-off, and they were a lot of fun. The bells add a nice touch with the jingling, and they make for good pictures. The brightness is just right, and they will definitely last more than a day. We opened them the day of the event, and all went smoothly." —CRM

Get 100 from Amazon for $69.99 (available in three pack sizes).

If you want your guests to receive a gift that'll have them feeling all bubbly inside, you can't top these darling mini champagne bottles. They'll look lovely displayed all together at the wedding book signing table, in tin ice tubs around the venue, or at their dinner table. You can choose from 10 different fonts for the tags and add two lines: one could be for your names and the other for the wedding date. You *also* have the option to not add a tag or ribbon.

Promising review: "I ordered these as party favors for my daughter's New Year's Eve wedding. They are perfect! Communication was awesome, as for delivery, etc. Although the site states someone must sign for the champagne, we did not. They were left at the front door — nine cases! The ribbon provided was not enough to do all the bottles..." —Darlene Kozlowski

Or treat your guests (and their kids) to the most charming darn wedding favor I ever did see! These teeny tiny champagne bottles are bubbles in disguise. You can use this for your wedding exit *or* have them beside the bar so the kids who are attending can get it on the bubbly fun! 

Promising review: "I ordered them for a wedding. The guests loved them. They were cute and appropriate for the event. I was truly impressed with how well they blew bubbles." —Tamara M. Williams

For an ultra-cozy outdoor wedding, you can treat your guests to a mug of something warm! These are blank, but you can DIY a cute label using sublimation paper to have them thinkin' of your special day every time they open up their mug cupboard. If you're up for a craft-forward favor, add mini hot chocolate packets, mini marshmallows, and mini candy canes! 

Promising review: "Metal campfire mug. Arrived five days early! So far, very happy with the product! Bought these for wedding gifts." —Keely Hinkes
