Wedding favours can play a big part of your wedding day; they’re a way for the couple to say thank you and show their appreciation for people coming to share their special day.
Everyone wants their wedding favours to be something that people will cherish; illustrating the thought behind them and reflecting the theme and atmosphere of the day perfectly.
At our wedding venue in Nottingham we’ve seen hundreds of wedding favours over the years, and our events team is always more than happy to make suggestions and share stories of past experiences.
Here, we’ll discuss some of the most memorable and thoughtful favour ideas we’ve seen, that have made the wedding experience even more magical for guests and the couple alike, including on-brand golf themed favours!
Wedding favours have become increasingly creative over the years, with the wedding party putting their own stamp on gifts in a fun and memorable way.
These small tokens of appreciation should represent you both as a couple and ideally fit with your wedding theme (if you have one) – the more unique the gift, the more thought appears to have gone into it.
It’s estimated that approximately 1-2% of your overall wedding budget should be allocated to wedding favours. For those opting for a country club wedding, we have some themed ideas on hand to compliment your elegant and sophisticated wedding day setting.
Country club weddings are typically stylish, sophisticated affairs, set amongst lush green fairways with internal banquet halls that ooze class.
Likewise, your wedding favours should ideally match, with a touch of class and style. So, what are some of the most creative, memorable, and practical wedding favours for guests?
Here are some of our top ideas:
Fitting with the theme of elegance, personalised shot glasses are extremely popular for country club weddings, providing a fun but practical keepsake for your guests.
Customising these glasses with your wedding date or honorific titles creates something truly unique and memorable.
Let your guests know that you have donated to a local charity or cause close to your heart on their behalf; by leaving a personalised note to your guests, they’ll get to hold on to the feel-good memory for years to come.
To make your donation even more special, choose a cause that reflects your shared passions, or an organisation that played a role in your love story.
Monogrammed handkerchiefs are a timeless wedding favour. Not only are they stylish and practical, but with the couple’s initials, wedding date, or a sweet message subtly stitched on the corner, they become treasured keepsakes.
Sweet treats always go down a storm and, with so many artisanal dessert and patisserie businesses on offer, you’ll be spoiled for choice!
From personalised chocolates to gourmet cupcakes, you can even consider golf pops (cupcakes on a stick) to fit with the golf theme of the country club!
Are you holding a cocktail hour, or drinks on the 19th hole?
Why not offer a free cocktail or short for all your guests, and customise these with crazy names or unique names that represent you as a couple? Personalised cocktails spark conversation and set a light-hearted tone, seamlessly transitioning guests into a celebratory mood.

Scented candles are delightful wedding favours for several reasons. They create a cosy ambiance, reminding guests of your special day whenever they light them. Plus, the variety of scents allows you to choose one that complements your wedding theme or evokes a shared memory with your guests.
Unlike traditional trinkets, potted plants are living gifts that flourish with care, offering a long-lasting reminder of your special day as guests nurture them in their homes.
They’re also a sustainable and visually appealing choice, adding a touch of nature to any indoor space. From the calming properties of succulents to the vibrant bloom of orchids; there’s a perfect plant to complement any wedding theme and symbolise your love’s growth.
Forget the weather worries! Personalised golf umbrellas add a touch of practicality and elegance to intimate weddings. They’re a thoughtful way to ensure your guests stay dry in style – especially for outdoor ceremonies or receptions, since you can’t guarantee dry weather.
This type of wedding favour will suit smaller Nottinghamshire weddings that take place in the cooler months. However, they also make for a great favour (and something for your guests to snack on if they get a little peckish later on)!
Sticking with the local theme and for weddings in Nottingham, is there someone who can provide a local preserve, like a honey or jam, for guests to take home?
Why not opt for classy little jars, customised for your special day?
Customised golf balls and tees are a popular choice for country club weddings. Not only are they fun and unique, but they also serve as a heartfelt thank you to your golf-loving guests, reminding them of your special day with every swing.
Custom wine bottles featuring your names and wedding date add a sophisticated flair to any wedding day. Take it a step further by partnering with a local winery to tailor the wines to your guests’ tastes, creating an utterly unique and memorable memento.
Whatever wedding favours you choose, make sure they reflect your interests and personality. In addition, think about your budget, opt for something meaningful, and, where possible, make it personal.
