If you’re here, chances are you’re in the thick of planning one of the most meaningful days of your life — and somewhere between venue walk-throughs, seating charts, and floral mock-ups, you realized you still need to choose your wedding favours.
And suddenly, this “small” task doesn’t feel so small.
Maybe you’ve opened countless tabs. Maybe your Pinterest board is overflowing.
Or maybe you’re just trying to find something thoughtful, within budget, and — most importantly — not another item that guests will leave behind on the table.
We get it.
You want a favour that feels like an extension of your celebration — something aligned with your theme, something practical (because no one wants unnecessary waste), and something that quietly says thank you for being here… your presence truly mattered.
And in Singapore, where weddings blend sentiment, style, and cultural touches, the search can feel even more overwhelming. You want to delight your guests, stay mindful of costs, and choose a gift that reflects the heart behind your day.
This guide was created to make that search easier.
We’ll walk you through the most popular wedding favour ideas in Singapore — from edible treats to local-inspired gifts to eco-friendly options — while slowly showing you why gifts like honey often become a couple’s favourite choice: meaningful, universal, beautifully symbolic, and surprisingly budget-friendly.
By the end, you’ll have a clearer picture of what fits your theme, your budget, and the kind of gratitude you want to share.
Let’s start exploring.
What Makes a Great Wedding Favour?
A meaningful wedding favour is more than a pretty add-on — it’s a tiny gesture of gratitude, a reminder that your guests shared an important milestone with you.
A great favour usually checks a few boxes:
-
Useful — guests can enjoy it long after the celebration
-
Meaningful — it reflects the personality or story of the couple
-
Eco-conscious — seen increasingly as a thoughtful gesture
-
Affordable — especially with larger guest lists
-
Theme-friendly — fits the motif, colours, or vibe of the day
If you're considering something local or symbolic, you might explore Singapore-inspired wedding favours for that extra meaningful touch.
And if sentiment matters to you, honey wedding favours often symbolise sweet beginnings and shared joy — a subtle but beautiful message to weave into your day.

-
Petite candles with soft scents that guests can enjoy at home

-
Petite honey jars that you can personalise with your wedding colours
These smaller gifts pair beautifully with elegant packaging: simple kraft boxes, organza bags, or custom stickers can elevate even the simplest items. The key is not how much you spend, but how thoughtfully the gift is presented.
For even more ideas, you can explore our guide on wedding favours under $5. And of course, our Honey Collection includes petite jars that fit this budget-friendly category while still feeling meaningful.

Why Honey Makes an Ideal Wedding Favour
Honey has quietly become one of the most meaningful wedding favour trends — not because it’s flashy, but because it’s heartfelt.
Here’s why couples love it:
A symbol of sweet beginnings
Across many cultures, honey represents love, prosperity, blessings, and sweet new chapters. It’s a poetic way of telling guests, “Thank you for being part of our new beginning.”
Something everyone can enjoy
Guests of all ages — young, elderly, local, overseas — appreciate honey. It works for tea drinkers, foodies, health-conscious guests, and even children.
No wastage, no clutter
Unlike trinkets that might be forgotten on the table, honey is always used and enjoyed. It becomes part of your guests’ days long after the wedding.
Fits every theme
Clear jars for minimalist weddings, kraft labels for rustic ones, gold lids for modern luxe themes — honey adapts beautifully.
Endlessly customisable
Labels, ribbons, stickers, personalised notes — honey jars are easy to style.
With our Honey Collection and Honey Gift Boxes, you’ll find options that have been chosen for weddings time and time again for their meaning and beauty. If you'd like a deeper dive, explore our feature on why honey wedding favours are perfect for sweet beginnings.
How to Choose the Right Wedding Favour for Your Theme
When you’re unsure where to start, use your wedding theme as a guide — it simplifies the decision and ensures your favours fit seamlessly into your décor.
Here’s how to match favours to your wedding style:
-
Garden or outdoor weddings → honey jars, seed packets, beeswax candles
-
Modern minimalist → sleek jars, simple labels, clean packaging
-
Rustic or boho → kraft paper, twine, wooden dippers, artisanal treats
-
Peranakan or cultural themes → local-inspired gifts, patterned labels
-
Romantic / classic → candles, soft colours, gold accents
-
Tropical or beach weddings → lightweight favours, local snacks
Think also about your guest demographic. Older guests appreciate useful, food-based gifts. Overseas guests love local-inspired items. Younger guests enjoy wellness or lifestyle gifts.
For Singapore-themed weddings, our Singapore-inspired wedding favours guide offers plenty of ideas. And for a neutral, theme-flexible option, honey jars and gift sets blend beautifully into almost any style.
Tips to Personalise Your Wedding Favours
A small personal touch can transform even the simplest favour into something deeply meaningful.
Here are easy ways to make your favours feel truly yours:
1. Custom labels
Add your names, wedding date, or a quote that means something to you both.
2. Mini message tags
A short thank-you note adds warmth and lets guests feel appreciated.
3. Ribbons that match your palette
A blush, dusty blue, champagne gold, or emerald ribbon instantly ties the favour into your theme.
4. Personalised stickers
Seal gift bags, boxes, or jars with your monogram or initials.
5. Themed packaging
Think kraft boxes for rustic weddings, clear acrylic boxes for modern themes, or patterned wrappers for Peranakan-inspired celebrations.
6. Bundled favours
Create mini sets — for example:
-
Honey jar + honey dipper
-
Tea sachet + honey
-
Candle + floral tag
-
Honey trio + postcard
7. VIP favours
Consider slightly upgraded versions for your parents, entourage, or closest friends. It adds a heartfelt layer to your appreciation.
