20 Harry Potter Wedding Favors That Will Transport You Straight to Hogwarts
Throwing a Harry Potter-themed wedding isn't for the casual fan. But if you've read all the Harry Potter books cover-to-cover and not-so-secretly wish you could've gotten into Hogwarts, then a Harry Potter wedding might be right up your Diagon Alley. (See what we did there?)
Harry Potter wedding favors offer lots of fun opportunities to incorporate wizardly themes into your wedding day vibe in a way that'll have your guests wanting to read the books all over again, too. But the possibilities don't just end there.
You can also transport friends and family into the Wizarding World of Harry Potter from the moment they get their Golden Snitch save-the-dates and Hogwarts Castle wedding invitations in the mail. Want to extend the unique wedding theme to your wedding shower or bachelor/bachelorette party? There are plenty of Harry Potter-inspired party ideas to go around before you say "I do"—from chocolate frog desserts and an "Always" cake topper to wizard-themed bachelorette party games. (Oh, if only a flying game of Quidditch were actually possible...)
When it comes to the big day, even more fun awaits. How about treating muggles to a welcome drink of butterbeer? Or filling the photo booth with fun props like round-rimmed glasses and wizard wands? You can even seat guests according to their Hogwarts House by naming the tables things like Gryffindor and Slytherin and putting a literal sorting hat on the place card table. Or, have them sign a unique guest book that literally looks like Hogwarts castle itself. (Are you seeing all the potential here?!)
If you're suddenly feeling inspired to start planning your enchanting celebration now, scroll on for some Harry Potter-themed wedding favors that will help you host an epic (and magical) wedding day your guests will remember—always.
