Wedding Favors People Actually Want
Wedding favors are a great way to thank your guests for sharing your special day with you. But why settle for something ordinary when you can give them a tasty treat with a kick?
Boozy wedding favors come in many different forms and there are countless options to choose from. You can even get creative and make your own homemade gifts, such as Limoncello or infused spirits. Check out my Limoncello recipe!
One of the best things about boozy wedding favors is that they are versatile. They can be given to guests of all ages (non-alcoholic options are available for those who don’t drink), and they can be customized to fit your wedding theme or colors.
Unlike other favors that may end up collecting dust on a shelf, alcohol favors are something that guests will actually consume and enjoy.
Ideas For Wedding Favors That Will Be Enjoyed By All
Alcohol-inspired wedding favors are a fun and unique way to give your guests a little something extra to celebrate with. They are not only practical but they are great conversation starters and can add an element of fun to your reception.
Here are some boozy wedding favor ideas to consider:
Mini Bottles of Champagne or Wine
Mini bottles of champagne or wine are a classic wedding favor. They are easy to personalize with custom labels or tags and are a great way to remember your special day.
Plus, they are the perfect size for a single serving, making them a great option for guests who may not want to commit to a full-sized bottle.
Mini Liquor Bottle Wedding Favors
If you want to give your guests something a little stronger, consider mini liquor bottles. These are great ways to showcase your favorite spirits. You can even include a mixer or garnish to make it a complete cocktail kit.
DIY Cocktail Kits
For the ultimate boozy wedding favor, consider putting together DIY cocktail kits. These can include mini bottles of liquor, mixers, garnishes, and even recipe cards.
You can customize the kits to fit your wedding theme or color scheme and give your guests everything they need to make their own signature cocktail.
Personalized Shot Glasses or Flasks
If you want to give your guests something they can use long after the wedding, consider personalized shot glasses or flasks.
These can be customized with your wedding date, name, or even a fun quote. They are a great way to commemorate your special day and give your guests a fun and functional keepsake.
Wine or Beer Bottle Openers with Personalized Tags
Wine or beer bottle openers are a practical and useful wedding favor. You can customize them with personalized tags or labels to make them extra special.
They are a great way to show your guests that you appreciate them and give them something they can use long after the wedding is over.
Wine Stoppers For Wedding Favors
Wine stoppers are another practical and useful wedding favor. They can be customized with personalized labels and are a great way to keep the wine fresh.
Wedding Koozies Or Can Cooler Wedding Favors
One of my favorite boozy wedding favors is the drink Koozie (or the can cooler). They have the wedding information on them and your guests can enjoy them for years to come.
My husband and I try to take the ones we have received at weddings on our vacations and send the ‘Happy Couple’ a photo of us enjoying their Koozie wrapped around an adult beverage. This always brings lots of smiles!
Wedding Favors Coasters – Customized Can And Bottle Coolers
Customized drink coolers are a great way to add a personal touch to your wedding favors. They can be customized with your wedding date or even a fun quote. They are a practical and useful gift that your guests will love.
Alcohol-Infused Treats, such as Chocolates or Gummies
For a fun and tasty wedding favor, consider alcohol-infused treats, such as chocolates or gummies. These are a great way to add some sweetness to your guests’ evening and are a fun and unique gift that almost anyone will enjoy. Be careful though, if you decide to make them yourself they can be labor-intensive.
How to Incorporate Boozy Wedding Favors into Your Wedding Theme
Alcohol wedding favors can be a fun and unique addition to your wedding celebration. However, it’s important to make sure they fit with the overall theme and tone of your big day.
Here are some tips for incorporating boozy wedding favors into your wedding theme:
- Consider your wedding colors: If you have a specific color scheme for your wedding, try to choose favors that match or complement those colors. For example, if your colors are blush and gold, consider giving mini bottles of rosé or champagne.
- Think about the season: If you’re having a summer wedding, consider giving guests a refreshing cocktail in a cute mason jar. For a winter wedding, hot cocoa packets with a mini bottle of Baileys or Kahlua could be a cozy and delicious favor.
- Match your venue: If you’re getting married at a vineyard, winery, or brewery, consider giving guests a bottle of wine, beer, or spirits from that location. It’s a great way to tie in the venue and give guests a taste of the local area.
- Include a personalized label: Adding a personalized label to your boozy wedding favors can make them feel extra special and unique. Consider including your names, wedding date, and a cute phrase or quote that ties in with your wedding theme.
By following these tips, you can incorporate boozy wedding favors into your big day in a way that is fun.
One thing to remember is to always drink responsibly and provide non-alcoholic options for guests who don’t drink.
Considerations When Choosing Boozy Wedding Favors
When it comes to choosing boozy wedding favors, there are a few considerations that couples should keep in mind to ensure that their guests will enjoy the gift and that it is appropriate for the occasion.
Here are some things to consider:
1. Guests’ Preferences
It would be thoughtful to consider the preferences of your guests when choosing boozy wedding favors.
You could consider offering various options, such as wine, beer, spirits, or non-alcoholic options like Coca-Cola to cater to everyone’s tastes.
2. Seasonal Availability
The availability of certain types of alcohol can vary depending on the season. For example, some wines are only available during specific months, and some beers are seasonal.
Couples should consider the wedding date and choose spirited wedding favors that are appropriate for the season.
For instance, a warm spiced wine may be suitable for a winter wedding, while a refreshing cocktail may be more appropriate for a summer wedding.
3. Packaging and Presentation
The packaging and presentation of the boozy wedding favors will depend on the formality of the wedding.
Couples should choose packaging that is attractive and appropriate for the occasion.
I have been to a wedding where they place 8 different shot bottles in the middle of the table for the guests to choose their favorite spirit. However, that might not be suitable for a traditional wedding.
They can also consider adding personalized labels or tags to make the favors more special and memorable.
4. Budget
Boozy wedding favors can vary in price, depending on the type of alcohol, packaging, and quantity. Purchasing in bulk can help you save money and reduce the overall cost per gift.
Couples should consider their budget when choosing boozy wedding favors and ensure that they are not overspending (while shopping recently I found a shot bottle of Patron for $7.00).
If your budget doesn’t quite meet the price of serving these wedding favors for your entire guest list you could choose to give these items at the Rehearsal Dinner to the wedding party and special guests. This would be a fun option as well.
Raise A Glass To Love – Cheers!
While boozy wedding favors may not be for everyone, they can be a great way to show your guests how much you appreciate them and add a fun and festive element to your special day.
Just be sure to consider any potential logistical challenges before making a final decision. (Like if you have a destination wedding you don’t want to buy these in advance and have to carry them in your luggage).
Overall, serving alcohol wedding favors is a great way to add a touch of personality and fun to your wedding while also giving your guests a unique and memorable gift.
So let’s all raise a glass to love and celebrate your big day with a little bit of ‘Spirited Fun’.
