Alcoholic Tipple
Probably the most popular wedding favour is an alcoholic tipple. You can really customise this however you want. Go for a spirit, a mini bottle of prosecco or you could even make your own sloe gin in a personalised bottle. You can change the drink seasonally with warming liqueurs for winter or something fresh like limoncello for summer. Getting married abroad? Have a little bottle of the local spirit!
Spiked Hot Chocolate
A DIY hot chocolate wedding favour with a little alcoholic twist is a fantastic idea for winter weddings. Your guests will be sure to make the most of this special treat during the winter evenings ahead. You can buy mini bottles of Baileys or any booze of your choice. Add a jar of mini marshmallows and hot chocolate powder and you are good to go!
