Unique wedding favours that make a splash

There’s nothing wrong with decorating wedding tables with a dainty pair of chocolates, some airy macarons, a burlap pack of seeds, a potted succulent, little test tubes of tea, heart-shaped candies … you get the idea. If you’ve attended many a wedding, you’ve seen them all before. So while there’s nothing wrong with the usual ideas for wedding favours, why not think outside the box for your own big day?

And not just for the guests, of course. Building a thank-you bundle for your wedding party can have that extra special, extra fizzy touch with something special from Lush.

Here are some ways to add low- and no-waste products that your guests, friends and family will love—that all go far beyond the ordinary.

Our favourite waste-free table favours

You already know that wedding costs add up fast. So, if you’re looking for something small with big impact, consider gifting each guest a Charity Pot Coin. Completely packaging-free, each one gives back to a grassroots group working in the area of animal protection, environmental justice and human rights. Plus, it smells amazing on the skin. Though, we should caution, this may not be the best pick for an outdoor summer event. For something a bit more heat-proof, you could try shower bombs like the soothing Sleepy: perfect for out-of-town guests who want a relaxing experience back at the hotel. Or a slice of bestselling soap like Sandstone, Outback Mate or Honey I Washed The Kids.

Fab wedding party favour ideas

How do you show your appreciation for weeks (or months) of dedicated dress or tux shopping, cake tasting, tie selection, flower finding and all-around moral support? A relaxing night in with a bath or shower gift, of course. Depending on your budget, you can go for a beautiful bath bomb (if you know they have a tub) or a full bath set. We love classics like Tisty Tosty with its lightly floral scent and real rosebuds, or Deep Sleep for those who’ve spent all day on their feet. To give them more of a treat, try an affordable trio of bombs like the Ippuku range, including the Ippuku Dan Warming and Ippuku Ryo Cooling sets.

If, however, you want to provide a more spa-like shower experience, consider a bottle of romantic Rose Jam, relaxing Sleepy or sumptuously sweet Sticky Dates. Or gift them a pre-wrapped package with a handful of refreshing favourites like Good Karma, All The Best  and Refresh.

And for the main members of your party (think: bridesmaids, groomsmen, Maids/Mates of Honour, Best Men/Women/People), consider gifting a fragrance to mark this special occasion. Whether they love citrus, sweet, fresh or floral scents, there’s something for everyone. But if you need a little guidance, we know that the Dirty, Rose Jam and Karma are some of the most loved fragrances our collection.

Favours for kids and table activities

If you’ve included children in your wedding party, think about gifting them a small thank you for taking part in the day. We know our little Lushies are big fans of the colourful Toby’s Magic Cow, the sweet (and reusable) Raspberry Blower and the bubbly Unicorn Horn to make their post-wedding bath time an equally big event.

And for the kids’ table, a couple of rolls of Rainbow Fun is one way to keep little hands occupied during long speeches, toasts and the wait for the buffet. They can be used just like your favourite mouldable dough to create anything their imaginations can conjure up. Then their parents can bring them home and use them as soap or shampoo when it’s time to go.
