Planning your wedding is all about the personal touches that make your day unforgettable for you, your partner, and your guests. If you’re looking for a memorable way to say “thank you” on your special day, consider these four unique wedding favor ideas.
1. Jars of Honey
What better way to represent your sweet and long-lasting marriage than with a jar of honey? Honey jars make perfect wedding favors because they’re easy to customize with labels including your names, wedding date, or heartfelt quotes. Especially if you’re getting married in Greece, where honey is a main part of the Greek diet. Want to take it up a notch? Add a tiny wooden honey dipper and tie it with a ribbon that matches your wedding theme. If you’re planning a destination wedding, keep in mind to order small jars that can easily travel with your guests.

To add a Greek twist, thyme honey deliciously embodies the Mediterranean charm your guests will remember long after the festivities have ended. You can find local honey producers almost everywhere and they will love to help you with your project! On the other hand, you can always ask your wedding planner to help you source local products for your wedding favors.
2. Custom Olive Oil Bottles
In Greek culture, olives symbolize peace, fertility, and victory, so a bottle of olive oil is an excellent wedding favor. Opt for high-quality, local olive oil in small glass bottles, and add personalized packaging that reflects your wedding theme. Your guests will love taking home a little piece of Greek culture to drizzle over a salad or cook a tasty meal.

3. Potted Succulents or Local Herbs
If you and your spouse have green thumbs, potted succulents may be your perfect wedding favors. These low-maintenance plants come in various shapes and sizes, making them easy to match your wedding decorations. When planning a destination wedding, make sure the plants can travel well or that your guests are allowed to import them when going home to their country! Consider getting Air Plants instead of succulents for longer flights. But for that Greek experience, consider getting some local Greek herbs like Thyme, Oregano or Rosemary
Add a card with a sweet note like, “Watch love grow,” and you’ll have a gift your guests can cherish for years. These wedding favors work beautifully with any theme, be it modern or rustic.
4. Mini Bottles of Ouzo or Raki
Ouzo, a traditional anise-flavored liquor from Greece, can be a bold and memorable party favor. For a personalized touch, seal each bottle with decorative corks or ribbons using your wedding colors. Ouzo celebrates Greek culture and hospitality, so it’s a perfect favor for destination weddings in Greece.
