14 Luxury Wedding Favors That Are Totally Worth the Splurge

We're always pro giving out wedding favors—it's the simplest way to thank your wedding guests for being a part of your special day. You certainly don't have to break the bank on a thoughtful souvenir, either, but if you have the budget to go big with luxury wedding favors, then we say do it. It's also a surefire way to guarantee your guests feel extra loved when they leave.

According to our 2022 Real Weddings Study, the average cost of wedding favors and gifts totaled to $14 per person. This amount also included other non-favor guest gifts (think: welcome bags). But if you just choose to focus your costs on one single wedding favor for each attendee, you can definitely afford to go a little more high-end. Alternatively, if you're having a smaller, intimate wedding, you could have the budget to invest in elevated wedding favors you know will go to good use.

It's a worthwhile wedding expense if your guests truly savor (in some cases, quite actually) their parting gift—either in the moment or for months and years to come. That's why we've chatted with colleagues and gone back to every cool wedding favor Instagram post we've ever saved to come up with a list of the very best luxury wedding favors.

1. The Knot Shop Vintage Style Pressed Glass Champagne Flutes

When the weather is nice outside and the flowers are in full bloom, nothing goes better with a spring wedding than spritzy cocktails in pretty candy-colored glasses.

So, for a favor, think about offering guests a vintage, colored glass to use during the festivities and then take home. You can even tuck a recipe card somewhere in there to give your guests hints on how to recreate your festive signature sip.

2. Terrain Anellabees Pollinator Seed Packet Sets

We can already see the caption you write on the hang tag: "We've weeded through so many people in our lives and you're just the cream of the crop—thank you for sharing in our day!"
