If you’re planning an environmentally friendly wedding, then it’s only natural for you to offer eco-friendly wedding favours. Luckily, there’s a lot of options out there to choose from, and we’ll help you narrow them down to a compact list of great ideas!

Succulent Plants

Affordably bought from practically any garden centre, succulents are easy to pot and look after. These pretty plants can thrive in both indoor and outdoor spaces, so you're guaranteed to charm all your close ones with these favours!

Seed Packets

For a long-term wedding favour, seed packets are a great choice. Try to make sure these seeds are for smaller plants that can sit snugly in a windowsill, as well as a garden so that everyone can use them. The packets can be personalised with unique designs too, so you can theme them to your day!

Seed Paper

No trees were harmed in the making of plantable seed paper, made exclusively from post-consumer materials. Combined with potting soil, water and of course some sunshine, your guests will be growing greenery of their own in no time.

Reusable Water Bottles

Now water bottles might not seem like the most exciting wedding favour idea, but they are if they can be customised! Offer a bottle that has your wedding day details embroidered upon it, and your loved ones will never again need their single-use plastic bottles.

Tote Bags

Many people get through plenty of plastic bags after their routine shopping trips. However, natural cotton tote bags are a great solution to that problem! Offer some up as your eco-friendly wedding favours, and they will serve as a daily reminder of your incredible wedding!

Burlap Bags

Burlap bags are eco-friendly and biodegradable, made from highly durable jute fabric that is charming to look at and practical to use. If your day has a rustic theme, then this is the perfect item to offer up as a wedding favour.

Preserves

A preserve recipe is a sure-fire way to charm your guests. Your local shops and markets will surely have what you need, but if not, the do-it-yourself route is always a good option too. After all, if your favours are homemade, they'll be much more meaningful and unique!

Fair-trade Snacks

Gather some fair-trade ingredients and whip up some biscuits, or indeed any other nibbles that you think will please. Few would turn their noses up at edible wedding favours, and once again, appreciation goes double for homemade efforts!
